Hormel Foods Corporation ranked No. 17 and Smithfield ranked No. 27 on the Selling Power’s 50 Best Companies to Sell For list. This is the 21st consecutive year the ranking has been published by Selling Power magazine.
To assemble this year’s list, Selling Power’s research team created a thorough application where they gathered data across four main categories including: 1) compensation and benefits; 2) sales culture; 3) onboarding and sales enablement strategies; and 4) sales training and coaching.
Additionally, due to the pandemic, the business publication focused on companies that quickly pivoted their strategy to give their sales representatives the tools and skills needed to succeed in today’s digital, remote selling environment.
Companies were ranked in each of the categories above to determine the final list. Almost all the companies featured on the list invested in and offered thorough training specific to virtual selling in response to the pandemic.
Selling Power magazine founder and publisher Gerhard Gschwandtner said in a release, “The companies who earned a spot on this year’s list have truly world-class sales organizations. In addition to providing superior onboarding and ongoing sales training, they quickly pivoted their strategy to give their sales reps the tools and skills they needed to succeed in today’s digital, remote selling environment.”
