About the Presenter

Tom Wengler

He started speaking professionally at the age of 23 while working for Dale Carnegie Training and starting his own Small Business Accelerator Business in Chattanooga, TN. After a long career in sales (training, CRM and ERP software, medical software, speech recognition technology, and social media marketing tech), Tom launched Convergence, a HubSpot Partner, in 2018. 

"I started working with economic developers in 2010 when I was part owner of Cloud Nine, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Partner. We built the economic development solution for the Microsoft CRM". Cloud Nine was sold several times and that software is still being used today. With HubSpot's technology, I was able to build a better, more comprehensive solution for a lower price point - all without expensive software developers".

I have created a single presentation for the market that is fun, enlightening and is designed to truly engage the audience in real time as they interact with a website. The audience gets to play the role of Site Selector or Business Owner in this live simulation where we generate website traffic and "covert the audience as a lead".

Having worked with hundreds of economic development professionals, I tailor each presentation to fit the goals of the conference organizer. Best practices and lessons from EDO's across the globe resonate with the audience. Sales and lead generations "best practices" that I have learned over the years are shared in an "economic development centric model".
