You already know we're a huge advocate for business blogging, so it comes as no surprise that reading other business blogs is a regular part of our continued education here at New Breed. Our team is always sending around interesting articles and our managers encourage us to spend a little time each day reading and learning for our particular skill sets.
With the wealth of information out there, sometimes it's hard to know where to turn. In fact, when you google "Best Sales Blogs" there are 308 million results. How could you ever sift through that amount of information? The truth is, there isn't a way to do it (at least not one we could think of). So we wanted to make things a little easier and share five sales blogs that our team reads on a regular basis.
We've shared our top B2B marketing blogs before, but this time around we wanted to help out your sales team. These sales blogs will inspire and educate your sales team, ultimately making them more well-rounded representatives of your company.
So let's get to it!
1. Salesforce
The Salesforce blog is full of valuable content. We highly suggest that you subscribe to get their updates in your email because you're not going to want to miss their pieces of sales advice. From best practices to selling tips and more, the Salesforce blog is a one-stop-shop for all aspects of B2B sales.

2. HubSpot Sales Blog
As always, we find the content that the team over at HubSpot is producing to be the creme de la creme. It's easy to digest and covers familiar and relevant topics. They speak directly to small and medium sized businesses and we always find their posts to be uplifting and genuinely helpful.

3. Inc.com Sales Section
We've been longtime subscribers to Inc. Magazine. You can always find a few copies floating around the office, but up until recently we hadn't been regularly reading their sales section. What we like about Inc. is the variety of content they publish. It's not always about sales directly, but there are many articles that can make you a better salesperson without having sales in the title.

What we appreciate about Jill Konrath's blog is the authenticity behind each post. We attended one of her sessions at Inbound 2013 and loved her enthusiasm for the industry and her passion for the subject. Both of those qualities shine through on her blog, where we find informative (and sometimes funny) content.
