SAN LEANDRO, California, September 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

• TriNet ranked alongside most sought after sales organizations in U.S. 
• Ranking based on exemplifying sales excellence in three broad areas: training and enablement, recognition and compensation, creating an active sales culture 

TriNet (NYSE: TNET), a leading cloud-based provider of HR services, today announced it is ranked on Selling Power's 2014 list of the "50 Best Companies to Sell For". For the 14^th consecutive year the Selling Power's research team has identified and ranked the best companies to sell for among top sales forces in the United States. Inclusion on the list is an honor and a competitive advantage when hiring top sales professionals.

The list includes 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 on the list support excellence in sales in the following ways.

1. They support salespeople via coaching, training, and offering sales-enablement solutions. Salespeople are an expensive and vital asset for any company; as such, they must be trained and coached in order to develop their talents and prioritize their selling activities. Top companies also invest in sales-enablement technology solutions that help salespeople operate more effectively and productively.
   
2. They keep salespeople motivated. To attract top salespeople, companies must have a straightforward and streamlined approach to compensation. Companies that truly excel also come up with inventive and creative incentives to keep salespeople positive and inspired.
   
3. They create an active selling culture. To salespeople, time is an asset. Every minute they spend in front of customers is an opportunity to close a deal and further the success of the individual and the group. Great sales organizations don't burden salespeople with too many administrative activities or leave them to find their own leads without support from marketing.
