Three-time founder. Author of Slightly More Efficient Selling / Slightly More Efficient Buying. 25 years arguing that selling is something you do with buyers, not to them — and 13+ podcast appearances making the case.
Tom is the founder and CEO of Supercase, a business-case automation platform for B2B revenue teams. He was previously CEO of DealPoint — a buyer-centric sales tool he ran from founding to acquisition by Clari in 2021 — and then spent nearly four years as Head of Revenue Strategies at Clari, working inside one of the most prominent pipeline-intelligence platforms in B2B.
That stretch shaped Supercase's thesis: pipeline intelligence can tell you which deals are at risk, but it can't fix the reason why. The missing piece isn't more data about the seller's pipeline — it's a credible financial case the buyer can use internally, when the seller isn't in the room.
Before DealPoint, Tom spent eight years as VP of Sales & Marketing at Audio Precision, where he drove record revenues and built direct sales operations across 35 countries. He's the author of Slightly More Efficient Selling / Slightly More Efficient Buying — two books bound as one, meeting in the middle where real purchase decisions get made. It's also the framework behind Supercase.
Tom is an expat Brit from Brighton. Now based in Portland, Oregon where he's a squash player, GTM philosopher, and dad to two teenagers.
Ordered by how often he gets asked. Happy to custom-frame any of them for your audience.
Why 61% of B2B deals die to "no decision," what separates a CFO-grade business case from a BS-grade one, and the two questions every CFO is actually asking. Practical for sellers, buyers, and anyone who has to defend a purchase internally.
Not replacement — promotion. AI takes the mechanical work off the SDR so they operate like an AE; off the AE so they operate like a manager; off the manager so they operate like a VP. What that looks like in practice and what to stop doing now.
The difference between a checklist the seller maintains and a real collaborative artifact the champion uses to run the deal internally. Why most MAPs fail and the small number of design choices that separate the ones that work.
Why the best reps actively hunt for reasons to kill deals early, how to frame disqualification so the buyer thanks you for it, and why DIY is often the right recommendation.
Selling is not something you do to a buyer — it's something you do with them. What genuine collaboration looks like on a live deal, and why most "buyer-centric" frameworks stop at the name.
