- Inside Sales has been for years treated as a step-child to prestigious outside sales efforts so it is great to see more visibility for those championing the profession of inside sales and sales leadership. Smart people know now that inside sales is where it is at.
- Craig based the list on Kred scores - something I was not even familiar with until I saw this list - drawn from Twitter engagement.
The list is controversial due to how it was culled. What I find interesting about Kred is that it measures not only influence but outreach as well. My interpretation is, as someone who ended up high on the list, that being social -- supporting, re-tweeting, and recommending others on a regular basis pays off.
