Tom Hopkins Tom Hopkins is a sales legend. Many believe that natural ability is enough to make you successful in a selling career.

The truth of the matter is that natural skill, combined with "how to" training is the real secret to high level productivity.

Having learned this lesson the hard way, Tom is quick to admit that his early sales career was not successful.

After benefiting from professional training, he became a dedicated student, internalizing and refining sales techniques which enabled him to become the sales leader in his industry. Tom's credibility lies in his track record and the track records of the students he has trained over the years. He has personally trained over three million students on five continents.

He has shared the stage with some of the great leaders of our times including Ret. Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf, former President George Bush and Barbara Bush, Gen. Colin Powell, and Lady Margaret Thatcher.

Tom has authored numerous books, including How to Master the Art of Selling, Selling for Dummies, and Selling in Tough Times. You can learn more about Tom Hopkins' books and programs here.
