I’m willing to bet that at least once in your sales career, when you were at a low point or stuck in the middle of a seemingly unsolvable problem, you’ve called on the advice of your favorite sales expert, thought leader, or author. Maybe a certain quote or insight has always resonated with you, and you read it from time to time for inspiration.

The following SlideShare deck, from LinkedIn Sales Solutions, takes that habit and brings it into hyper drive. The next time you’re craving a fresh perspective or need a quick confidence boost, page through these slides until you find just the right phrase. The presentation is chock full of valuable tidbits from the veritable sales A-list: Reid Hoffman, Jeffrey Gitomer, Jeff Bezos, Zig Ziglar, Jill Konrath, Ken Krogue -- they’re all in here.
