I got curious as to what were the most recommended sales books on Reddit /r/sales. I thought it would be a quick automated data job and make a nice quick blog post. Famous last words. Weeks later and manually going through the entire history of /r/sales and then also deciding to include data from Quora.com to get a bigger sample I have put together the 47 most recommended sales books of all time. A little about my methodology. First I found every mention of a sales book and created a master list. Then I found how many times that book was mentioned and how many upvotes that mention got. Final scores were counted up and the books were ranked. There were hundreds of other books that got a single mention but they needed more than 1 to get on the list. So apologies if your favourite book is not here and please start recommending it to others. The one weak area of the list I think is categorising each book. Because I have not read them all I had to guess from the recommendation what area of sales the book fits in. Please feel free to comment below to correct me. Total reading time for all these books is 170 hours. Or 7 days if you do not sleep and connect a coffee drip to your arm :) Lastly I teamed up with a few sales partners and we are giving away the full 47 books. I would love to be there when that crate arrives.

Have you any suggestions for improving this list?
