Are you constantly looking for new books, articles, and podcasts devoted to the art and science of selling?

Then this article is for you.

Join us today as we break down our 57 favorite sales blogs! Yes, we know 57 is a big weird number – but we had a hard time narrowing it down to something more manageable. And let’s be honest, when it comes to sales blogs, is there ever really too much of a good thing?

1.  Accent Technologies

It’s our article, and we’re really proud of the work we do on our blog, so of course we’re taking the top spot!

Accent Technology’s blog is a one stop shop for all your sales and marketing needs, with meaty posts about new tech, how to help your team sell more, and how to integrate sales enablement software into your business so you can become even better at selling.

2. Sales Hacker

Sales Hacker has been around for a long time – and there’s a good reason for that: they provide tons of great articles, podcasts, video guides, and templates for sales professionals looking to stay on top of their game. As an added bonus, they have a super helpful community too.

3. LeadFuze

LeadFuze is another must-read blog experience for sales pros looking to take their game to the next level.

While LeadFuze sells a product, the blog is not all about pitching you to make a purchase. Instead, you’ll find a wide range of informative articles about the art and science of selling – many written by experts in the field.

4. SalesLoft

Coming in at number four on our list is SalesLoft. This site offers up lots of great content in the form of articles, infographics, GIFs, and more. It’s not all just about tips to be a better sales professional or sales manager, though – they also offer up a lot of motivational content to keep you going on those rough days…

5. Woodpecker

Woodpecker wants to help B2B sales teams connect with their perfect customer, and they work toward helping you achiever this goal with lots of content. They’re focused primarily on email topics, but since that’s an area where we can all use some insight, you’re sure to find a bunch of useful articles here.

6. Hubspot

Unless you’re totally new to the sales and marketing game, or a time traveler sent to the future from like 1920, you’re probably already well aware of HubSpot.

The Hubspot blog is a cornucopia of sales and marketing information. I’m not even sure you could actually read it all in a lifetime at this point – but that’s good, because you’ll never want for content.

7. Double Digit Sales

If you’re looking for articles on increasing performance, finding the right sales talent, or getting better results (that blog name wasn’t picked at random, you know…) then Double Digit Sales is a place you’ll want to peruse.

The posts here are concise and informative – and really, you can’t ask for much more than that.

8. G2 Crowd Sales Blog

You may know G2 from their software, but like many companies they’ve also jumped into the blogosphere. However, unlike many companies, G2 is creating really great content.

If you’re into sales and marketing insights, you’re all but guaranteed to find something worthy your time here. Sales, marketing, productivity…it’s all covered by the G2 team.

9. BrainShark

BrainShark is another company with a software as a service product offering who also creates blog content aimed at companies looking to learn about sales enablement, coaching, on boarding, and more.

Their “Ideas Blog” is just that – a page filled with articles that will give you new ways to look at how your sales team, and your business as a whole, are operating.

10. Predictable Revenue

With a name like Predictable Revenue, you know we’re interested.

This is a blog that lives up to the expectations created by its name. It’s a sales blog, but it also offers up plenty of insight about outbound marketing, coaching, and other topics that may not be the standard sales blog topics, but definitely are of interest to people working in the field.

11. LinkedIn Sales Blog

If you think LinkedIn is just for posting your resume, then you’re missing out.

Some of the best articles we’ve read over the past few years have been featured on LinkedIn, and the site’s Sales Blog remains one of our go to reads when we’re looking for new ideas or how to improve performance.

The Sales Blog covers a wide range of topics – meaning there’s almost assuredly something here for everyone.

12. Sales Benchmarking Index

If you’re interested in getting your sales and marketing efforts to work synergistically, then you should probably be checking out the Sales Benchmarking Index blog, which is chock full of interesting content focused on how you can grow revenue by ensuring everyone’s working towards a common goal.

13. SalesForce Blog

The SalesForce blog is an absolutely massive content resource for sales and marketing professionals that covers a huge range of topics that go well beyond the stuff you’ll find on most blogs in this vertical.

If you wanted to read just one blog for a well-rounded experience, the SalesForce blog would definitely be in the running.

John Barrow’s Fill the Funnel Blog

With blog posts, a podcast, and a wealth of information, John Barrow’s Fill the Funnel blog is a must-read for sales and marketing pros looking to take their skills to the next level.

Insightful, straightforward, and filled with actionable information, this one is worth your time.

14. Sales Wars Blog

If you love Star Wars and sales, then Sales Wars is a no brainer. I mean, just listen to their opening blub…

“A long time ago at a B2B company far, far away there was a sales team with an unorganized sales and marketing process and a broken strategy. They quickly turned to Sales Wars for sales development perspectives, tips, and stories to accelerate their sales and marketing forecast.”

Great gimmick, and great content.

16. SalesFolk

SalesFolk’s blog is a bit more narrowly focused than some of the others on this list, but it deals with a topic near and dear to all our hearts: cold emailing.

The cold email has essentially replaced the cold call – and if your sales people aren’t doing it effectively, it’s costing you business. The articles at SalesFolk will get you up to speed with the current cold email best practices in no time.

17. Closer IQ

This under appreciated entry on our list focuses on sales tips, hiring and talent scouting topics, and sales management.

Closer IQ features a group of staff writers, but will also bring in sales professionals from outside companies. This results in posts with a wide range of perspectives and observations that will help you take your team to the next level.

18. Adaptive Business Services

While this blog may not publish on the daily (or even weekly) schedule of so many of the other resources on this list, when Adaptive Business Services does put out a new piece of content, the wait is often worth it.

If you’re in an industry focused on social selling, this is a blog well worth your time.

Quite simply, a must read.

24. The Sales Blog

Anthony Iannarino’s The Sales Blog is another one of our favorite reads.

Iannarino is an author and thought leader with a deep background in sales. The fact that he’s a published author on the topic not only makes him knowledgeable, but means he has an easy to read style that’s always entertaining and breaks down complicated concepts without burying you in a bunch of jargon.

If you’re not reading The Sales Blog, you should remedy that ASAP. This one’s well worth your time.

25. The Center for Sales Strategy

“We’ve found that some issues are unique to the business climate of today and need new approaches, and other are timeless challenges requiring long-tested best practices. Our team members share their insights, giving you an inside look at what successful companies are doing to generate more quality leads, develop better salespeople, close more deals, and increase their revenue.”

If any of that sounds like the kind of thing you’d like to learn more about, then this blog is a great starting point. It’s well written, covers a wide range of topics, and updates regularly.

26. Sales Pro Insider

If the catchy title doesn’t win you over (I mean, who doesn’t want to be a sales pro insider?), then the content almost assuredly will.

This blog is packed with informative posts presented in a straightforward, easy to read style that is both entertaining and educational.

If you thought all sales blogs had to be dry, guess again. This one bucks that trend in the best ways possible.

The Insight Squared blog takes a problem solver’s approach to pretty much everything you could ever want to know about Software as a Service products. The content is timely, insightful, and offers up plenty of professional advice for everyone from sales professionals to upper management types.

Here’s how they describe themselves:

“Sales expertise for those who sense the game is changing. Providing you with the content to make you a better salesperson or sales leader. It is the place on the web for the best sales and sales leadership resources — keg stands optional.”

We’re probably too old for keg stands (ah, the days of our misspent youth…) but the rest of this is pretty great.

The official blog of author Steve W. Martin (no, not the comedian…the guy who wrote Heavy Hitter – a guide for senior salespeople working in enterprise sales).
