HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE SP 500 TOP EXECUTIVES – Use the SP 500 to benchmark your company’s productivity per salesperson. Find out how you measure up to your competition and the average in your industry. Check which companies have decreased their sales forces and which are gearing up for expansion. SALESPEOPLE – Use the SP 500 as your best-pros- pect list. There is no other source that gives you access to those companies that purchase products for a large num- ber of salespeople. This is your ideal list if you sell sales training, sales-incentive services, customer relationship management solutions, automotive fleets, sales meetings, or trade show services. Begin your account planning by researching company Websites. JOB SEEKERS – Use the SP 500 to plan your sales ca-
reer. These 500 companies employ the largest sales forces in America. Large companies invest heavily in recruiting,
training, and rewarding sales staff. To find job openings, log onto the companies’ Websites. EDUCATORS – Use the SP 500 as a tool to build next
year’s curriculum. Every year, SP 500 companies seek to recruit more than 500,000 college graduates. There are more than a dozen colleges that offer sales curricula, and all of their graduates can look forward to solid careers in sales. Prepare your future students for a lucrative career in sales. (Note: media research shows that the average Selling Power magazine reader has a college degree, works in sales management, and has a household income of more than $174,000 per year.)
Special thanks goes to our corporate research team for collecting the data. To have your company listed in the Selling Power 500 next year, please write to SP 500 Re- search, PO Box 5467, Fredericksburg, VA 22403.
