In today’s bonus episode, I’ve got the audio from the top-rated session of the 2020 Sales Success Summit from Matt Du Pont for you. Matt is an Enterprise AE who’s obsessed with improvement. He’s finished #1 in attainment for the last three years, and currently works at LaunchDarkly, a SaaS company selling to software engineers.

Oh, and before we get started. You can find the slides for Matt’s presentation and all of the 2020 Summit presentations actually at top1.fm/2020slides.

Here he is:

Remember you can get the slides from this presentation at top1.fm/2020slides. Not only will you find the slides from all of the other presentations on that page, but you can also purchase the video version of Matt’s presentation there as well.

If you want more from Matt, well there’s the tiny.cc/SalesSummit link that he mentioned in his talk and he’s since created ProgressPerHour.com so you can check out those and you’ll find Matt’s full interview here on this podcast in episode 86.

Finally, If your company provides a self-development budget. The kind Matt encouraged you to use in his third tip. I would argue that one of the very best ways you can use that budget is on a ticket to the Sales Success Summit where you can actually meet Matt and dozens of other top performer like him who’ve been on this podcast. At the Summit I only allow the top performers who’ve been on this show to take the stage because I believe that we can learn the most from what the doers do, and not from what the sayer say.

So if you want to meet the doers in an event that was built specifically for quota-carrying sales professionals, then click over to Top1Summit.com to get the details and get registered. Then we’ll see you here in Austin on October 11th and 12th!

For a consolidated list of all of those links, we’re going to start using a new bonus episode linking convention, so if you go to top1.fm/116B we’ll have everything for you there.

Thanks so much for listening, and make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you don’t miss next week’s interview. Take care!

On Today’s bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories podcast I actually have the intro episode of a brand new show that we just launched yesterday. I guess this was kind of a thing before, but there’s now officially a Sales Success Media Podcast Network. I’m not the host of this new show. I’ve kind of got enough on my plate already. Some of you who’ve been part of the Sales Success Community for a long time may recognize Thom Singer, because he was the MC of the first-ever Sales Success Summit and I’ve asked him to host the brand new Sales Tech Podcast.

While I’ve got the full audio from that first episode for you here, I’d actually prefer that you hit pause. Do a search in your podcast player for Sales Tech Podcast. Subscribe and listen to it there. We actually launched yesterday with 3 episodes that you can listen to right away, and then you’ll find new episodes every week on Monday morning. If you have any trouble finding the show you can also click over to SalesTechPodcast.com and we’ll have links for you there.

If you’re still here, I guess that’s cool. Here the first-ever episode of the Sales Tech Podcast featuring Thom and I talking about why we created the show. Check it out:

Are you really still here? Seriously, if you made it this far. Find the Sales Tech Podcast in your podcast player right now and subscribe. Feel free to tell a friend as well. Thanks for listening!

This is Lisa Palmer’s talk on “Team Selling, Visual Dartboarding and Winning at Enterprise Scale,” and I’ve also included the Q&A from our more recent Encore Series session together.

Today on the Sales Success Stories Podcast, along with all of our sponsors who you can find at Top1.fm/sponsors, we’re celebrating women in sales on this International Women’s Day.

If you’ll click over to Top1.fm/women, you’ll find 29 deep dive interview episodes featuring some of the most successful women you’ll find in sales today. If you’re new to the show, it’s worth noting that I only interview active quota-carrying individual contributor sales professionals, who are either the outright number one top performer at their companies, or they’re at least in the top 1%.

So these 29 women are some of the best of the best. And I hope you’ll help me find more like them. If you know a female seller who holds that spot at the very top of the leaderboard, I would love an introduction.  Send me a note to [email protected] or connect us on LinkedIn either way works. And I appreciate you for helping me find more of the best of the best.

So that’s it for today. Just go check out that list at Top1.fm/women. And then tomorrow I’ve got a brand new interview episode for you that I think you’re really going to like.

In this bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories podcast I’ve decided to share the audio from one of the sessions from the 2020 Sales Success Summit. This is Camille Clemons’ talk on “Sales is a Team Sport.” You may have noticed a theme here, since my conversation with Katie Jane Bailey in episode 111, I’ve been kind of obsessed with this idea of World-Class Sales teams and Camille’s presentation from the Summit adds in a really nice perspective.

Now there are quite a few visuals in this, and you can get the slides from this session and actually all of the sessions from the last Summit if you’ll go to top1.fm/2020slides. That’s T-O-P the Number One dot FM forward-slash 2020slides (all one word).

With that. Here’s Camille:

If you want more from Camille she was the star of episode 36, and she also contributed to the first Sales Success Stories book.

Remember you can get the slides from Camille’s presentation at top1.fm/2020slides, and that will also get you onto the listener list where I’ve got some pretty significant announcements that I’ll be making, starting there, over the course of the next month or so.

The one last resource I’ll mention to you is the 2021 Sales Success Summit page, where you can register to join Camille, myself and so many of the others that you’ve heard here on this podcast this coming October. You’ll find that at Top1Summit.com
