51 Top Sales Influencers You Should Follow On Twitter Immediately

It has never been a more exciting time to be in sales. New sales acceleration tools are revolutionizing the way we sell. Customers are becoming more educated about our offerings than ever thanks to inbound marketing. And social media has made it easier than ever to connect with and learn from the most successful sales leaders on the planet.

Here at Revenue.io, we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most innovative and influential sales leaders around. And if we’ve learned one thing, it’s that there are many different ways to successfully close deals. If you’re like me, you’re always on the hunt for ideas that can help you sell more successfully. My own quest for sales knowledge is never-ending. Luckily, some of the world’s greatest sales leaders regularly share insight, tips, tactics and thought leadership on Twitter. To that end, we thought it would be helpful to build a list of some of the most essential sales leaders to follow.

Methodology: To build this list of top sales influencers, we measured which twitter profiles our partners and customers are following, favoriting and retweeting most often. We excluded sales leaders from product companies, instead focusing on authors, coaches and consultants. The result is this list of 51 superb sales gurus!
