Yesterday, I expressed my gratitude for having been awarded Top Sales Blog. But this isn’t about me, so let’s move on to where the real value in this contest is found for you: the content and the creators.

Top Sales Article: Paul McCord

In another crowded space with many deserving entries, Paul McCord won top honors. I don’t know Paul as well as I would like, but I read his blog regularly. He is as smart and thoughtful as they come, and sometimes provocative. For selfish reasons, this is one of my recent favorites. I recommend you add his blog to your RSS feed.

Congratulations, Mr. McCord!

While you are at it, check out Kendra Lee and Joanne Black, the silver and bronze medal winners.

Top Sales Book: Art Sobczak

Honestly, I haven’t read Art’s book. Yet. But I do read his blog, which is highly educational–as well as sometimes being very, very funny. His blog alone is enough to recommend his book.

Congratulations, Mr. Sobczak!

I have read and recommend Jill’s book, SNAP Selling, which won the silver medal. Read my interview with Jill here and here.

I purchased Tibor Shanto and Craig Elias‘s new book, Shift Selling, which won the bronze medal. I don’t have to read the book to recommend it. I wrote a post called The Case Against Trigger Events, and Craig responded in the comments. Tibor and Craig are way out in front when it comes to a framework for understanding and using trigger events. Read the comments, then go buy the book.
