Jim Cathcart Inducted into Sales and Marketing Hall of Fame

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 2, 2013 - The annual Top Sales & Marketing Awards contest has been created to hail “the heroes” of the sales and marketing space; to laud those companies and individuals who have gone that extra mile; who have been unafraid to challenge paradigms; who have had the courage to pioneer, when others remained wedded to the status quo.

Jonathan Farrington of Top Sales World based in London and Paris is the man behind this organization and its publications.

We just got the news that Jim Cathcart has been inducted into the Sales and Marketing Hall of Fame!  http://topsalesworld.com/topsalesawards/  

We are also thrilled to learn that the Sales Effectiveness 360 Assessment Jim Cathcart created (based on his book and concept of Relationship Selling) has been selected as one of the three Top Sales & Marketing Assessment Tools (Silver Medal)!

Bill Gove, also selected (posthumously), was the founding president of the National Speakers Association and a close friend to Don Hutson and Jim Cathcart. Don and Jim have both served as NSA national presidents.

Jim Cathcart is the original author of “Relationship Selling”, a book originally published in 1985 and subsequently published by Putnam Penguin. Though the concept encountered much resistance at first, through Jim’s persistence and creativity it has now become a part of the sales lexicon worldwide. The book Relationship Selling has been published in scores of languages around the world and became a bestseller in many markets. It is now in use as company training and college textbooks.

Mr. Cathcart has written 16 books and created an entire series of books on the various elements of Relationship Selling. He is a Hall of Fame professional speaker and past president of the National Speakers Association. His consulting and coaching clients are a Who’s Who of the corporate world and he is still vitally active today as a keynote speaker and organizational consultant. On the personal side, Jim Cathcart is also a Rock & Roll Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter and an avid mountain trail runner.
