Perhaps that gives you a little swagger at the awards convention. But really, that is a pretty small pool of candidates. How about being the best in the industry, the best in your city or even one of the best sales professionals in the whole country! Now that would be something.  Be ready to have your greatness challenged as Scott and I deliberate on How to Become a Sales GOAT (Greatest of all Time)  and other cool topics on episode 582 of  the Winning at Selling podcast.
