Last week Selling Power Magazine released its annual list of the "50 Best Companies to Sell For.” For more than a dozen years, the publication has analyzed and ranked industry leaders based on revenue growth, sales compensation, culture and onboarding, sales enablement strategies, coaching processes and annual turnover. For the first time this year, they also factored company recognition and reputation – assessing awards and other accolades that enhance a sales force's ability to sell.

Perched at #1 on the list (above companies like Google, Microsoft and FedEx) is SunGard, a global leader in software for financial services. Two other Qstream customers, Oracle and Abbott, also made the list. Naturally we are thrilled, but frankly not surprised. These are companies committed to preparing their sales reps to win. We know because they use our platform to ensure their teams are equipped with the dynamic industry, customer and sales knowledge they need to be effective in every sales situation.

SunGard, for example, recently embarked on a sales transformation to support a "relentless" focus on building "the most well-trained, supported, and compensated sales organization in the industry." With a global reach of 15, 000 customers in 70 countries and a healthy commitment to product development, SunGard offers a dynamic sales environment with lots of opportunity.

In a recent blog post,  Gerhard Gschwandtner founder of Selling Power, shared the top three characteristics of sales-friendly companies: they offer industry-leading solutions that customers want; they communicate with sales teams well; they empower employees with sales enablement solutions, training, coaching and mentoring.
