Six months ago, I instituted a search for the top sales professionals in the world. I wanted to find the absolute best of the best when it comes to selling. My criteria was simple.
- I wanted real sales reps, rather than management types.
- I wanted people who had something valuable to teach the rest of us.
It took a long time to make a decision — a process that involved numerous discussions with my BNET editor-in-chief. After a great deal of work, I’ve finally been able to whittle the results down to five.
I think you’ll be amazed at these folk. One sells big-ticket items that cost up to $200 million a pop. (Warning: it’s not real estate!) Another “sales god” gets regular folks to pony up $200,000 for a product which, if it doesn’t work, might easily kill them.
So here they are, in all their successful glory.
