Each year, the corporate research team at Selling Power magazine
assembles and publishes its list of the 50 Best Companies to Sell
For. Companies are evaluated in the following areas: compensation
packages for salespeople; sales culture; onboarding and
sales-enablement strategies; training and coaching processes; and
annual turnover percentage. UniFirst scored higher than such
well-known organizations as Google, Microsoft, Xerox, Paychex, and
Waste Management.
“We’re excited about our position this year because we have put
a lot of energy and new features into our adaptive sales training
and coaching programs,” said Jerry L. Messenger, director of sales
support at UniFirst. “This honor signals to us that we are
continuing to move in the right direction, providing world-class
sales training and staff opportunities with an emphasis on
successful new account development. We’re fully cognizant that our
company’s continued success is directly related to an empowered and
skilled sales staff attuned to our goal of best-in-class customer
service. We also know that, at the same time, our sales staff has
to feel a sense of satisfaction, pride, and contentment. We pay
attention to every aspect of the job-satisfaction and
career-development meters.”
Selling Power magazine founder and publisher Gerhard
Gschwandtner says the companies on the list support excellence in
sales through support via coaching, training, and offering sales
enablement solutions; by keeping people motivated; and by creating
an active selling culture. According to Selling Power, inclusion on
the list gives companies a competitive advantage when hiring top
sales professionals.
