About Us
The Top Percentile Collective was founded on the belief that true high performers in sales have tremendous positive impact on clients, colleagues and companies. However, that potential is rarely achieved alone.
Core Beliefs
Exponential Impact
Top sales professionals generate more than a big number - they reveal market needs and leading practices, materially shape the sales team culture, and create the valuable client partnerships that sustain businesses.
Continuous Growth
True high performers see sales as a disciplined professional craft demanding ongoing learning and advances - a journey, not a destination. To continue to excel, you must continue to evolve.
Scaled Collaboration
In modern sales, true high performers rarely operate as lone wolves, rather they recognize great power in numbers – that far better outcomes can be achieved through a strong network, collaborative knowledge-sharing and collective approaches.
Inclusion
The best sales professionals both value high performance and create spaces where others are heard and supported. Similarly, the TPC is committed to the principle that all should have equal opportunities for health, well-being and advancement. We aspire to serve as a principled meritocratic enabler of equality and opportunity – creating high performing sales teams that are diverse, welcoming, and equitable.
We reject all-too-common stereotypes about salespeople. However, we believe that truly high performing sales professionals tend to share important attributes.
An Elite Network
The TPC is powered by a dynamic and diverse network of top sales professionals. Thoughtful and collaborative, we leverage collective insights, assets, and experiences to create special opportunities for top performers and the companies that aspire to employ them.
Above all, TPC members share a passion for growth and impact. We believe true success is a shared success, creating exceptional outcomes that benefit clients, companies, and colleagues.
Better Careers
The TPC provides advanced enrichment opportunities for front-line sales professionals to grow their skills, increase their impact, and inform important job and career decisions.
We also help sales leaders to engage their critical top talent more meaningfully and less transactionally – supporting ongoing job and career success. In the process, we help create employers of choice for top sales talent.
Stronger Teams
The TPC actively pursues a diverse membership of aspirational high performers – including diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, background and experience. This diversity is core to how we create unique value for all members – and to fulfilling our mission of elevating the sales profession. Through access to the best practices and insights of a diverse range of aspirational top peers, the best front-line sales professionals can elevate not only their own performance, but their colleagues and teams.
