Top 10 Kurlan Sales Articles of 2013

100

I wrote and posted exactly 100 new articles since my final article of 2012 when I announced your favorite all-time Kurlan article.  I’ve chosen 10 from this year’s articles that were either very popular, contained many comments, or thought-provoking.  It’s very difficult to narrow it down to 10, never mind to 1, but I went through 100 to pick the 10, and with all the votes that you were asked to cast last week, I decided to not ask for another vote.  Also, I did not include the article that was awarded a Gold Medal for Top Sales & Marketing Article of 2013 earlier this week.

Here they are in no particular order – My Top 10 Articles of 2013:
