About Tom Johnson

HEADLINEGlobal Sales Executive | Motivational Team Leader | Renowned Trainer | Skilled Negotiator | Data Driven | Adept Problem SolverSUMMARY Global sales leader isn’t just a keyword that I banter around; it’s a title I take seriously. Throughout my career I have established and cultivated a broad, global network of colleagues, vendors, and teammates. I bring these individuals together in a collaborative manner that helps us get to our goals faster and more efficiently. Often, I am the point person between the customer and others on the team, facilitating conversations and ensuring projects keep moving forward. Those “projects” could range from pre- and post-sales activities to ongoing client communication to ensure their complete satisfaction. I am an advocate for my customers and teammates, keeping them in the center of the conversation.Because of my commitment to people, I have been able to deliver some exceptional wins. Some of those include expanding the portfolio nearly 50%, or adding double-digit revenue growth. Other accomplishments don’t have ready metrics, but are no less vital to the success of the team and organization, including improving the customer experience and boosting efficiencies. When people are first, the strategy emerges, and amazing outcomes follow.Some of My Talents Include…• Global Sales Leadership• Product Education• Relationship Building• Metrics & KPIs• Cross-functional Collaboration• Stakeholder Engagement• Business Development• Revenue Generation• Customer Experience• Continuous Improvement• Lean Six Sigma• Manufacturing Process• Sales Strategies• Market Analysis• Problem Resolution• Leadership DevelopmentAdditional ExperienceManager of Sanitary Product Sales • Corrosion Fluid Products • Chicago, ILTechnical Sales Specialist • Chemray Corporation • Chicago, ILSales Engineer • ITT Engineered Valves • RemoteWhat You Didn’t Know…I enjoy running and always strive to improve.
