Selling power

Selling Power magazine was created by founder and publisher Gerhard Gschwandtner, an Austian born entrepreneur in 1981. With no financing to back his idea, the publication started as a black and white newspaper tabloid, it turned into a glossy tabloid in 1987 and became a standard sized magazine in 1990. The editorial objective is to help sales managers create a more effective and highly motivated sales team. Since the beginning, cover stories focus on winners in business, sports and entertainment.
