Tom Martin has spent more than half of his career selling advertising agencies’ professional services. His innovative business development programs have generated tens of millions of dollars in new client billings, including an impressive 35% growth rate over four years for Peter Mayer Advertising of New Orleans. As founder of Converse Digital, he has built a debt-free digital agency with a 25% year-over-year growth rate, without a single cold call or competitive pitch presentation. His painless approach to new business prospecting has resulted in a successful speaking career, an ongoing writing position with Advertising Age as a contributor to the “Small Agency Diary,” and numerous guest-posting roles with influential digital- and social media-focused blogs.

Tom lives in New Orleans with his wife and four children.
