MEET ART FROMM

TSD FOUNDER & LEAD FACILITATOR

Art Fromm

Art Fromm founded TSD in 2004, after a career in consultative sales training and hands-on sales and sales management expertise.

After starting his career as an engineer, Art soon got involved with software implementation as a customer, then moved into sales and sales management positions. Working as SE and sales executive in enterprise software and information management companies, he routinely surpassed revenue expectations and performance targets. When promoted to sales management, he excelled in sales coaching and training to achieve even better results for the companies he worked for and the teams he lead.

That gave him the idea to start his own sales training company – TSD – Technical Sales Development, soon to become Team Sales Development. The core of Art’s philosophy is that sales teams (SE’s and AM’s) need sales tools and training to work as a cohesive unit. With long sales processes and multiple people involved in any sale (sales, engineering, accounting, etc) the cost of sale can be extraordinarily high. Sales management is responsible for making sure the team wins the opportunities they can – and quickly walks away from the deals they can’t.

Shortly after starting TSD, Art implemented the consultative sales methodology (now known as SOS – Sales Opportunity Snapshot) that increased sales for a key client by over $1 BILLION in the first two years and increased win-rate from 58% to 74%. All these years later, TSD is still regularly providing all of their sales training. 

Given his successful professional sales track record, Art brings real-world applications into the workshop environment, as evidenced by the stellar evaluation scores and comments he routinely receives. His highly interactive facilitation style, and ability to relate to individual participants has become a hallmark of Art’s workshop delivery around the world. Art is a highly sought after sales training facilitator, especially for ESL participants, which require an extra level of facilitation skill to draw out involvement and engagement by the participants.

Art holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a Project Management Certificate from the University of Alabama, has studied Adult Learning Principals and Training Development through Friesen, Kay, and Associates (FKA), and is a Cisco CSE and BA ICP Certified.
