About The Author

Tom Stearns

Tom Stearns and Peter Cleary are the co-creators of Graphic Sales Stories — a comic series that captures the absurd, true-to-life moments that happen inside sales and corporate teams. From outrageous quotas to clueless managers and awkward client calls, these comics shine a light on the unspoken (but painfully familiar) realities of modern work. Every story is based on real experiences (lightly anonymized), illustrated by comic legend Eli 5 Stone (The Tick), and paired with a podcast where Peter and Tom share the backstory and the very real lessons behind the laughs.
