The most highly rated session at last week\u2019s Sales Success Summit was Matt Du Pont\u2019s talk about Maximizing Your Commission Per Hour Worked, and one of the things he talked about was focusing on obsessive improvement as a means to overcome mediocrity.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, that\u2019s one of the reasons why you\u2019re here listening to this podcast. Because you\u2019re not satisfied, even if you\u2019re at the top and performing well, you know that you can still improve. To help you do that I\u2019ve got a couple of things for you. First, I hope you\u2019ll go watch Matt\u2019s entire presentation. It will likely challenge you in some really constructive ways, and until November 6th I\u2019ve decided to make all of the recordings of the presentations from this year\u2019s Summit available for free. <a href=\"http:\/\/Top1.fm\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top1.fm\/videos<\/a> will take you there. You can also get the slide decks from all of the presentations at <a href=\"http:\/\/top1.fm\/2020slides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">top1.fm\/2020slides<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The other tool we\u2019ve just started rolling out to help those in the Sales Success Community to improve is our Peer Accountability and Growth Groups. Today over on the Sales Success Stories podcast you can hear my conversation with Richard Balius, who is leading that effort, as we talk about what these groups are all about and how they work. As always we\u2019ll have links to all of these things, the videos, the slides, and the Peer Accountability and Growth Groups episode for you at <a href=\"http:\/\/DailySales.Tips\/640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DailySales.Tips\/640<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then be sure to come back tomorrow for the next installment in David Weiss\u2019 MEDDPICC series. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Even if you\u2019re at the top and performing well, you know that you can still improve.&#8221; &#8211; Scott Ingram in today&#8217;s Tip 640 Do you focus on obsessive improvement?
