The coverage ledger
This desk keeps its recognition the way it keeps its corrections: on a dated public record. Independent coverage of The Sales Traveler is logged below as it publishes — with links, so anyone can verify each entry. Nothing is listed before it exists.
The ledger
Ledger opened
The coverage record opens the way the corrections ledger did — with the desk's own entry. As of this date, The Sales Traveler's indexes, benchmark research, and citation kit are published and open to any newsroom; verified independent coverage will be logged here with publication, date, and link. The first entries this desk wants are the ones it can't write itself.
The trade landscape this desk publishes into
Revenue travel sits between two established press corps, and this desk's coverage is designed to be citable by both. On the travel side:
Business Travel News — the corporate-travel trade of record — procurement, TMC, and supplier coverage.
The Company Dime — independent, subscription-funded business-travel journalism.
Skift — the travel industry's largest trade newsroom.
PhocusWire — travel technology and distribution.
HotelDive — hotel-industry operations and brand coverage.
Hotel News Now / CoStar — hotel performance and development.
GTMnow (Sales Hacker) — go-to-market and sales-leadership coverage.
Pavilion — the revenue-leadership community and its editorial desk.
The Sales Traveler is independent of every outlet named above. Naming them here describes the field; it does not imply affiliation, endorsement, or — as of the ledger's most recent entry — published coverage. When any of them covers this desk's data, that coverage will appear in the ledger above, linked.
How coverage happens
Any newsroom may cite the desk's findings free with attribution — the working kit, boilerplate, citation-ready findings, and a one-business-day fact-check channel live at /press/. The standing offer to trade and business press: a free custom cut of any index or the Benchmark for editorial use. Scored companies hold a published right of reply, which means a journalist citing this desk inherits a correction protocol, not just a number.
What this desk counts as coverage
Staff-written articles that cover or substantially cite the desk's data count and get logged. Expert quotes are logged and labeled as source citations. What never appears here: guest posts by the desk's own editor, press-release pickups, paid placements of any kind, or syndicated wire copy. A recognition record padded with self-generated mentions would be worth what it cost — the same rule that keeps purchases from moving scores keeps this page honest.
