14 Sales-Focused LinkedIn Groups You Should Join

One of the most powerful elements of LinkedIn is the ability to join and participate in groups. You can post, comment on and follow discussions; post and read news and blog articles; and find new connections.

There are three types of groups you should join: groups related to your industry, groups related to your target markets and groups related to sales. While I can’t help you with the first two, I can recommend some great groups in the third category.

Here are 14 sales-related groups you should consider joining:
   1. Innovative Mktg, PR, Sales, Word-of-Mouth & Buzz Innovators 
   2. Inside Sales Association
   3. Integrated Alliances 
   4. Marketing & Communication Network 
   5. National Association of Sales Executives 
   6. ! Sales Best Practices
