About
Sales Confidence vision is to build the world’s most valuable B2B Sales community, elevate the sales profession and help sales professionals be the best they can be at each stage of their career through achieving peak performance, mindset awareness and positive wellbeing.
About how the list is compiled:
Sales Confidence recieve 100s of nominations from the sales leaders team members, colleagues, investors and Sales Confidence community, as well as reflect on a year of discussions, references and interviews with sales leaders. Linkedin and crunchbase company growth data is also used. This list reflects a list of sales leaders to be inspired by. We appreciate many great leaders do not make the list and it’s near impossible to compare leaders actual performance. However, after 12 months of gathering sales people and sales leaders together and reviewing the nominations this final 50 reflects a group we wish to celebrate and inspire the next generation of sales leaders going into 2021.
