Selling Power Reveals Organic Sales Growth Secrets

FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- What makes John Mackey tick? The founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market has made "organic" a household word and has made a fortune in the process. Not that it's all about money. On "community giving days," which are held several times throughout the year, 5 percent of net sales go to a local nonprofit organization.

Selling Power's January/February issue takes an up-close-and-personal look at this business phenom. You'll find out how he started his lucrative business, what it takes to be successful in a supposedly "saturated" market, and how his company gives back to the community.

The numbers tell the story. The first Whole Foods had a staff of 19; that number has grown to 40,000 employees. The chain has 183 stores in North America and the U.K. Sales growth has averaged between 17 and 23 percent for the last 5 years, while the profits for stores like Food Lion and Safeway have averaged 2.5 percent a year.

In "Mr. Media" Selling Power offers you an inside look at Roger Ailes, CEO of FOX TV, who has revolutionized the world of media politics and cable news. During his career of 40-plus years, Ailes has been described as a "ferociously amusing media pit bull." He has also been hailed as a communications genius. This article looks at both sides of this media paragon and shares his unique wisdom on winning.

For these and other articles for the busy sales leader, you'll want to read the January/February issue of Selling Power.
