About Us

We understand selling more than any other firm.

Best Sales Talent specializes in helping companies through the services of search, recruitment, and placement of the Best Sales, Sales Management, and Marketing Talent.

If your company has lost a salesperson, you have lost revenue and profits. If you have an underperforming salesperson, you are losing revenue and profits. If you need to expand, you will need more sales talent to bring you more revenue and profits.

If you have lost someone in sales management, you have lost the person who leads your team(s) and who drives revenue and profits. If you need to expand, you will need more, or better, sales managers to lead your team(s) and to bring you more revenue and profits.

Consider Best Sales Talent as the bridge between losses and gains. As the bridge between goals of higher revenue and profits. And actually attaining them. Best Sales Talent provides the bridge, and the path, between your company’s failure and success by solving your sales, sales management, and marketing staffing problems.

Capitalizing on his sales management experience, Cotton co-authored a book for the American Management Association: How To Be An Effective Sales Manager.

Utilizing his sales and organizational management skills, while operating his business and managing a staff of recruiters, Cotton became the Founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Rhode Island. The chapter he founded, and where he became the Executive Director and President of the Board of Directors, was the 75th in the U.S. and was the fastest start-up in the charity’s national history. The Rhode Island chapter granted more than 1,000 wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses in less than ten years.
