Almost everyone thinks salespeople are all about beating their competition (well, there might be a little truth to that). But in reality, many people who work in sales are also motivated to help other salespeople succeed and advance their careers.
Social media has become a bullhorn for top sales influencers, and these easy-to-use (not to mention, free) platforms are something you should absolutely be active on in order to stay current in your sales strategy and become a sales influencer yourself.
Following the right sales influencers on social media channels can give you a lot of insight into best practices, new trends, tips and advice, and help you find ways to connect with prominent thought leaders. Check out a few sales influencers we like to follow:

5. David Dulany
David is a great person to follow on Twitter, mostly because it gives you easy access to his Sales Development Podcast, where he has a really interesting take on the role of the SDR and how it can make the entire Sales Dev community better.
Additionally, David is the lead consultant at Tenbound, a program that helps teams build an SDR infrastructure from scratch. He is an excellent sales professional to follow if you are working on a lean team or startup that is just starting to build pipeline and set up a sales strategy.
