  • 52 Awesome B2B Salespeople You Should Follow

Welcome to People You Should Follow!

This Wednesday we'd like to introduce you to the best experts in B2B (and some B2C) sales.

You will find both highly acclaimed award-winning sales people as well as some rising stars – both worth your utmost attention.

Here's the list of 52 B2B Salespeople You Should Follow.

We prepared a handy table of contents at the bottom – use it to navigate the list. Remember, this is not a ranking – everyone is equally important.

My title has always included the words 'Business Development', or 'Sales', but I'm simply a 'People Person'. My focus is always to build relationships with every person I meet.

I have over 10 years experience in sales and marketing. My specialty is developing international business development strategies.


Everyone has value, and my drive is to connect with people and to know what they know.


I judge myself on the company I keep and their opinion of me.

The first question with any product, business, or idea has to be 'What problem am I solving'. My main problem to solve at present is 'How do I connect with more professionals and learn from them'?

I've built businesses all my life. 


In my 20s I joined my family liquor store Wine Library and helped grow it from $3-$60 million dollar revenue business in only a few years. During this time, I launched winelibrary.com, one of America's first wine e-commerce sites. 


In 2009, I started VaynerMedia along with my brother AJ. We're a social-media-focused digital shop that helps Fortune 500 brands tell their stories and drive their business results. We currently have four locations: New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chattanooga. We will be opening a fifth office in London in June of 2016. 


In 2014, I launched VaynerRSE, a $25 million seed fund that invests in and launches the next generation of world-changing technology companies. In 2015, I launched VaynerCapital. More on that very soon.


In 2014, I also launched The #AskGaryVee Show, a YouTube show and podcast that answers your questions on business, entrepreneurship, marketing, and more.


Along the way, I've written three NYT-Bestsellers. My fourth book will come out in March 2016. Whenever I can get a scrap of free time, I'm answering the tens of thousands of tweets and messages from the Vayner Nation, and showing up on TV in places like ABC News, ABC Nightline, Bloomberg TV, CNBC, CNN with Piers Morgan, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Late Night With Seth Meyers, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.


I was named to both Fortune and Crain's 40 under 40 lists in consecutive years, and has been profiled in the New York Times, Fortune, and Inc.

I help salespeople be more successful in today's ever-changing business environment. I deliver interactive keynote presentations and workshops that help people accelerate their sales and win more deals.


I speak at sales kick-offs, annual sales meetings, conferences and industry associations. Recently, I've spoken at these marquee events: Dreamforce (SalesForce.com), SalesConnect (LinkedIn.) and InBound (HubSpot). I do lots of workshops with mid-market companies and growing firms too.


My sessions are highly motivational, inspiring people to take immediate action. Each week I get emails from individuals who share their successes with me. Sometimes, they're actually shocked that my strategies worked because they'd been trying for so long with no results.


With one corporate client, 87% of reps landed initial meetings with large accounts within just 60 days; in some cases, they'd been trying to meet with the decision makers for years.

It's amazing to me that Sales is the #1 profession in the world and yet none of us were formally taught how to do it. Very few of us have a degree in Sales or were given any more initial training or direction than "follow that guy, he's pretty good." That’s why we need to find ways to educate ourselves and get better every day.


I’ve been fortunate enough to experience a fantastic Sales education throughout my career at every level through the people I meet and opportunities that arise. Sharing those experiences while continuing to learn from others is why I continue to do what I do.

Keenan has been deliberate in absorbing the critical elements of sales team development in his 15 plus years. He’s learned what it takes to build killer, highly productive sales teams. He’s learned how to create sales strategies that increase the probability of success.


He learned that you have to confront reality by calling out the elephant in the room or your screwed. Keenan says hiding from problems only let’s them persist and that does no one any good.

He’s learned sales organizations with accountability that permeates all the way down to the individual performer will outperform organizations were micromanagement and command and control are the rule of thumb.


Keenan is adamant micro-management will destroy a sales culture. Keenan’s figured out how to develop and execute processes that increase revenue and accelerate the selling process, not slow it down. He’s figured out that it takes more than coaching to get the most out of a sales team. It takes the right coaching and that’s not an automatic in sales leaders.


Keenan has learned that establishing a fully integrated, synchronized sales team is the key to consistently exceeding revenue goals and delivering unmatched products and services to clients. Keenan is convinced there is a right way and a wrong way to build, manage and lead sales teams that outperform their peers — that’s why he started A Sales Guy Consulting.

After a highly successful career in corporate life, working with some of the most significant organizations in the world including IBM, Wang, Legal & General, Litton Industries and Andersen Consulting, I launched my first consultancy, The jfa Group, in 1992.


Over the next decade, I personally trained more than 100k frontline sales professionals and their managers via my own programs, Vanguard, JF Sales Camp, JF Sales Academy and the JF Strategic Forum Series. The Group was sold in 2007, leaving me to focus on my new online ventures.


However, I missed the cut and thrust of consultancy so once my non-compete period had been duly served, I created Jonathan Farrington & Associates. My current focus is on helping my clients prepare their sales teams for what is to come in the future. That means arming them with new skills and broadening their commercial bandwidth rather than focusing on redundant skills. I am also advising in the area of customer retention as I believe too few organizations are strong here, placing far too greater emphasis on winning new business.

My passion, mission, and life's work is to help sales professionals become wildly successful. I believe that the quality of sales conversations matters, yet the profession of B2B sales largely misses the mark on teaching sales reps how to have great conversations. After 10 years as a sales trainer I learned that the only way to achieve my mission was through the use of technology to help more sales professionals worldwide.
