2027 · Dates and place to be decided
Iron sharpens iron. A guild for sales craftspeople.
The Sales Success Summit is an intimate, in-person event for career B2B sellers, hosted by Scott Ingram of the Sales Success Stories podcast. Every presenter is an active seller who’s #1 or top 1% at their company, and everyone in the seats takes the craft just as seriously.
A note from your host
Everything is on the table for 2027.
The Summit has traditionally been in Austin in October, on Columbus Day and the Tuesday after. In 2027 that would be October 11 and 12. That’s the starting point, not a promise. I’m looking at other places and dates, and maybe more than one Summit.
Here’s my problem. 94% of this year’s attendees said it was the best sales event they’ve ever attended, and 93% of them answered the survey. Now I have to figure out how to raise the bar again.
I’d rather build it with the people who’ll be in the room. Apply to attend and I’ll be in touch personally.

Built for the sellers who chose this.
Most sales events are built for leaders and vendors. This one is built for the minority of sellers who treat sales as a profession and are on a personal journey to get great at it.
We don’t hire speakers or keynotes. Everyone on stage is an active, quota-carrying individual contributor who is #1 or in the top 1% at their company, and every one has been a guest on the Sales Success Stories podcast. They’re still in the game, and they share what’s working now.
You don’t need to be #1 to attend. You just need to want it.
The hallway is half the event.
The magic is the people, so we build in room for them: a welcome reception, a 30-minute break every 90 minutes, dinners together and an after party. Seating is assigned on purpose, to put you next to your next mentor, partner or friend.
On stage in 2026
Ten presenters and one panel, every one a #1 or top 1% seller. 2027 holds to the same rule.

It’s small, it’s built for individual contributors rather than leaders or vendors, and nobody on stage is a professional speaker.
