Paychex, Inc. has been named to Selling Power magazine's "50 Best Companies to Sell For" list for 2014. Paychex, a leading provider of payroll, human resource, and benefits outsourcing solutions for America's small- and medium-sized businesses, came in at number 12 on the list, up from the number 14 spot last year.

Paychex senior vice president of sales Mark A. Bottini says the honor reflects the commitment Paychex has to both its 3,000-member sales force and its small business clients. "Members of any sales team feel most empowered when they have the tools to succeed," Bottini explained. "Whether it's our strong sales culture that rewards achievement and provides opportunities for success, or the industry-leading payroll and human resource solutions that combine innovative technology and dedicated personalized service that give our Paychex sales team a way to make a difference for our clients every day."

To select the top 50, the Selling Power research team evaluates companies in the areas of customer growth and retention; hiring, compensation, sales training, and enablement; and company recognition and reputation. The list includes companies of all sizes, with sales forces ranging from fewer than 100 to companies with sales force numbers in the thousands. Selling Power magazine founder and publisher Gerhard Gschwandtner says the companies on the list support sales excellence in the following ways:

  • Supporting salespeople via coaching, training, and offering sales-enablement solutions
  • Keeping salespeople motivated
  • Creating an active selling culture
