Top 655 Sales Keywords: Search Volume, CPC and Trends (October 2026)

Sales keywords cover the profession (sales jobs, techniques, CRM software, cold calling) and the retail sense of the word (sale, discounts, "for sale"). Filter for the meaning you need; the B2B terms are where the CPCs and the software buyers are.

The list holds 655 keywords with a combined 13,965,910 searches a month. The most searched are purchase orders (4,090,000), sales (1,220,000), unique selling proposition (550,000), zoho crm (450,000), commission (368,000), crm software (368,000), selling (368,000), call centers (301,000), pipedrive (301,000) and clearance sales (246,000).

Advertisers pay most for salesloft ($13.29 a click), churn reduction ($7.30 a click), customer advisory boards ($6.60 a click), sales collateral ($6.25 a click) and account mapping ($6.09 a click). 50% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.

Demand is steady through the year: across the list, the busiest and quietest months are within 1.1x of each other. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.

Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
