April 1, 2024
When I first saw the news, I thought, “This has got to be an April Fools’ joke, right?” 🤷🏾♂️ Well, y’all, the joke was on me because it turns out this is 100% the Real Deal Holyfield—for the FOURTH straight year, I’ve been recognized by Salesforce as a Top Sales Influencer! 🎉
Let me tell you, this isn’t just a trophy moment; it’s a reminder that the work we do in sales—coaching, connecting, and empowering—matters. And to be celebrated alongside some of the brightest minds in the sales community? It feels so good. 🏆
What Does It Mean to Be a Top Sales Influencer?
Sales isn’t just about numbers—it’s about serving, shining, and making an impact. Being named a Top Sales Influencer is more than an accolade; it’s a reflection of the lives touched, the strategies shared, and the growth sparked.
It’s about showing up:
With energy to ignite action. ⚡
With insight to empower others. 💡
And with a commitment to serve, because sales is about solving problems and creating value for real people. 🤝🏾
This recognition isn’t just for me—it’s for every person, team, and organization I’ve had the privilege to work with. Your success is my WHY.
