AUSTIN, Minn., July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hormel Foods
Corporation (NYSE: HRL) is pleased to announce that it has
ranked No. 17 on the Selling Power's 50 Best Companies to Sell For
list. This is the 21st consecutive year the ranking
has been published by Selling Power magazine.
"Once again, we are honored to be recognized among the top 50
companies to sell for in the country," said Janet Hogan, senior vice president of human
resources at Hormel Foods. "Hormel Foods is not only a great
company to sell for, but we are a leader in offering all of our
team members world-class benefits and training programs."
According to PJ Connor, group vice president; president,
Consumer Product Sales, the recognition is appreciated and well
deserved. "Our sales culture is built on the principles of
inclusion, talent development, indispensable strategic
relationships with our customers and delivering results," said
Connor. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to
continuous improvement and our highly intelligent and efficient
team of effective sales professionals throughout our entire
company."
To assemble this year's 50 Best list Selling Power's research
team created a thorough application where they gathered data across
four main categories including:
- Compensation and benefits;
- Sales culture;
- Onboarding and sales enablement strategies; and
- Sales training and coaching
Companies were ranked in each of the categories above to
determine the final list. Almost all the companies featured on the
list invested in and offered thorough training specific to virtual
selling in response to the pandemic. The list encompasses companies
of all sizes – with sales forces ranging from fewer than 100
salespeople to companies with sales-force numbers in the
thousands.
Selling Power magazine founder and publisher
Gerhard Gschwandtner says, "The
companies who earned a spot on this year's list have truly
world-class sales organizations. In addition to providing superior
onboarding and ongoing sales training, they quickly pivoted their
strategy to give their sales reps the tools and skills they needed
to succeed in today's digital, remote selling environment."
