For the 15th
year, the corporate research team at
Selling Power has identified and ranked the best
companies to sell for among the top sales forces
in the United States.
The focus includes companies of all sizes –
with sales forces ranging from fewer than 100
salespeople to companies with sales-force
numbers in the thousands. An extensive, ex-
panded questionnaire was sent to executives in
sales, training, and human resources to uncover
key data that would be important to prospective
employees as they look for a new sales role or
enter the sales profession.
This year, we focused on three broad areas
while examining the data: customer growth and
retention; hiring, compensation, sales training,
and enablement; and company recognition and
reputation. (See the ratings chart below.)
As expected, our detailed rating system
placed the top companies extremely close,
with only 10 points overall separating the top
10 companies. Heartland Payment Systems and
SunGard tied for the top spot this year. In other
cases of a tie in the overall point rankings, the
companies were placed in alphabetical order.
Anyone entering the sales field or making a
career move to a new company should begin his
or her search by taking a good look at the Selling
Power list of the 50 Best Companies to Sell For.
