This post is a follow-up to my August 2009 post, Sales Experts you should follow on Twitter. For 2010, I have made a number of additions and updates including Sales Ops and Sales Automation experts.
Everyone on this list produces interesting, relevant, sales related Tweet content on a regular basis which I frequently RT. And their content is not self- serving. They may have occasional links to their own blogs or webinars, but they
are not blatantly selling their products or services. Instead they are helping to serve the sales community as a whole. Some of these Sales pros don’t have many followers, but that should change after this blog post!
Here is my list for Sales Experts you should follow on Twitter, including a link to their Twitter profile, their profile description and the current number of Twitter followers. If I missed anyone, please add their name and links to the comments field.

Great List! I’ll do a little shameless self promotion, especially since Gerhard called me “Mr Twitter” at the last Sales 2.0 event. Follow the interview series I’m publishing this week with Sales 2.0 speakers.

Great list. I find myself reading all Tweets from @bridgegroupinc and @damphoux. They consistently offer an excellent resource for conversations around demand generation. I will review others that I am not following to see who is offering a compelling conversation for this marketing professional.
