(June 2, 2026) — The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS) is proud to announce it has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list, marking the third consecutive year the organization has earned this recognition (2024, 2025, and 2026). The list, featured on Inc.com, honors American companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses, whether in-person, remote, or hybrid.

The award is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants. The process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score. The Center for Sales Strategy is honored to be included among the 507 companies recognized this year.

Being recognized as an Inc. Best Workplace for three consecutive years reflects The Center for Sales Strategy’s long-term commitment to building a workplace culture rooted in trust, accountability, responsiveness, and meaningful professional growth. Across its portfolio of brands, CSS prioritizes employee engagement, leadership development, collaboration, and a people-first culture designed to help both employees and clients thrive.

“We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as an Inc. Best Workplace for the third consecutive year,” said Matt Sunshine, CEO of The Center for Sales Strategy and its portfolio of brands. “Culture is not something we view as a one-time initiative or internal priority—it’s foundational to how we lead, collaborate, innovate, and serve our clients. This recognition reflects the commitment of our team and reinforces what we believe deeply: when people feel connected, supported, and empowered to grow, better business outcomes follow.”

For more than 40 years, The Center for Sales Strategy has helped organizations drive total performance through sales strategy and talent development, B2B marketing and revenue operations, company culture and employee engagement, and executive coaching and career transition support. Through its portfolio of brands—including The Center for Sales Strategy, LeadG2, Up Your Culture, and Robertson Lowstuter—the organization partners with companies to improve performance, strengthen leadership, align teams, and create sustainable business growth.

“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture–it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”
