Today on the Sales Success Stories Podcast I’ve got a little bit of a sneak preview for you. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on gathering tips focused on LinkedIn from those in the sales ecosystem who are doing it the best and driving the highest levels of engagement.

The final result here is going to be a free webinar, a free PDF and an eBook on Amazon that will have even a little bit more. That will all be released on April 2nd, and you can find the details and register for the webinar at top1.fm/LinkedInSalesStars or top1.fm/LISS

The main PDF is going to feature 108 tips from 36 of these LinkedIn Sales Stars. Here are just 6 of those tips. First from Jake Dunlap, CEO of Skaled and then from Dale Dupree, the Leader of the Sales Rebellion.

Remember, to register for the webinar just click over to top1.fm/LinkedInSalesStars or just top1.fm/LISS. While you’re there do yourself a favor and join the listener list. Those on that list will actually be the first to have access to the PDF, a few minutes before we kick off the webinar.

Thanks for listening and be sure to come back next week when I’ll be featuring a very full-length interview with one of those LinkedIn Sales Stars as Gong.io’s top SDR, Sarah Brazier joins me in an episode that just barely went over two hours. It’s all worth it though. I’ll talk to you then!

This episode is sponsored by the 2020 Sales Success Summit that will happen here in Austin on October 12th and 13th. For the complete details, you can click over to Top1Summit.com

And today’s bonus episode while you wait for my next interview comes from the first Sales Success Summit in 2018. This is Jacquelyn Nicholson’s presentation: Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants – Coaches, Mentors And You, but as you’re about to hear it’s much much bigger than what the title suggests. Here’s my friend and mentor, Jacquelyn Nicholson:

Having just listened back to this presentation with you I realize that I’m not doing nearly a good enough job of articulating the value of the Sales Success Summit. Jacquelyn’s presentation was amazing and you could probably hear that she was presenting on the second day having referenced a bunch of the previous presentations, the conversations in the hallways and over dinner. Not only did Jacquelyn participate in and present at the first Summit, she came back again last year and was one of the first people to register for this year’s event… before she’d even left the building in Austin.

My job is to continue to raise the bar and make this event even more impactful and meaningful and at this point, the only way I can do that is to bring even more amazing people into the room. People like you. If you’re one of those seekers. If you have been listening to this podcast, learning from these incredible mentors and applying the things they’ve suggested to improve yourself, then you need come and be a part of the Sales Success Community and join us in Austin. I’d be happy to talk about it with you if you have questions, but you’ll probably find most of what you need at Top1Summit.com. There are even monthly payment options as I try to make this experience as accessible as possible.

So check that out, and if you want more from Jacquelyn, she was the star of episode 8 of the podcast. top1.fm/8 will take you there. There’s also the video presentation where you can actually see Jacquelyn present along with all of her visuals, and she also contributed 3 stories to the first Sales Success Stories book, which you can find wherever books and audiobooks are sold online.

Thanks for listening, and be sure to come back next week for another dose of sales inspiration and a fantastic interview. I’ll talk to you then!

Today on the Sales Success Stories podcast we’re going to do something a little bit different. I feel like I’ve been abusing you a bit with the last couple of interview episodes that have both been about an hour and 45 minutes long. So we’ll go a little bit shorter today, and the next interview episode should be under an hour assuming I get the PR approval in time.

I’ve gotten some feedback lately from fans of this show telling me that they’d like to hear more from me and about me. The challenge there is that this show isn’t really about me. It’s about dissecting the mindset, the habits, the processes and the stories of world-class sales performers. You might get a short anecdote or story from me every now and then, but really my job is just to ask the questions to help uncover the deep insights. So I’m not sure that this show will ever be the place where you’ll get to learn a ton about me. One place that I have started to share more of my own thoughts is on the Daily Sales Tips podcast. So what I’ve done for you today is pulled together a collection of some of my own tips from that show. 10 of them actually. Let’s start with those, and then I’ve got a bit more for you at the end after these have played through:

2: Own Your Own Development
64: Stick with it – Scott Ingram
151. Training Your Work Ethic & Focus
156. The 4P Productivity Process for Producing Profit
176. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
214. The Power of Doing a Dry Run
216. Manage Expectations to be Successful
218. Have a Bias Towards Action, Even Imperfect Action
333. The Secret Silver Bullet
365. 1 Year of Consistent Action

If you enjoyed all of that and you’d still like to hear more, I have 3 additional resources for you, in addition to the Daily Sales Tips podcast where you can hear me share future thoughts typically about once a week.

First, my 4P Productivity presentation has now already happened at the last Sales Success Summit and the video of that presentation is on Vimeo. If you’re already on the listener list, just reply to any of my emails and ask for that presentation and I’ll send you a code. If you haven’t yet subscribed, just mention this particular episode when you do and I’ll send you 2 codes so you can watch both my talk and any other presentation you choose.

Second, if you’d like to continue binge listening to my tips, I’ve created a playlist on Spotify of all of my own tips on Daily Sales Tips. As I record this I think there are 71 of them. top1.fm/scott-tips will link directly to that playlist.

Finally, I did share my own story about a year ago in episode 62 of this podcast when Jeff Bajorek turned the tables on me and interviewed me using my typical format.

Anyway, thanks as always for listening and be sure to come back next week for another interview with another top-performing sales professional. I’ll talk to you then!

Today on the Sales Success Stories podcast I’ve got another presentation from the 2018 Sales Success Summit for you. Hopefully, this starts to give you a further taste of just how powerful the Summit experience is. This is Mike Dudgeon who today is the Director of Key Accounts at LinkedIn talking about Treating Your Sales Career Like a Franchise Owner:

That beeping at the end was a visual cue at the back of the room accidentally turning into an audio cue as Mike ran out of time. I run a really tight schedule at the Summit, and I didn’t mention it at the start, but Mike was actually the first guest I ever had on the Sales Success Stories Podcast. He’s the star of episode 1, and at that time Mike was the #1 Global Account Executive at LinkedIn, where he was managing the Microsoft relationship just before Microsoft acquired LinkedIn. It’s a great episode if you want to go back and listen to that.

With this series of presentations from the first Sales Success Summit, I also hope you’ve really started to get a sense for just how powerful this experience is. Mike even talked about it at the start of his own talk, which came towards the end of the second day. As I release this we’re coming up on the end of January, and the price to attend the Summit in October goes up at the end of every month until all 200 tickets are sold out. So I hope you won’t wait another minute to jump on the current deal. All of those details are at Top1Summit.com… Even if you’re not 100% sure. Do yourself a favor and jump on it now, because your ticket is fully refundable until 30 days prior to the event. I also know you’re going to be kicking yourself in May when tickets are over $1,000 and you know you could have gotten in much earlier. Again, the details and registration page is at Top1Summit.com

Then be sure to come back next week for my next interview with a super fascinating top performer. A guy who wasn’t just #1 last year on a team of over 500, but a guy who has been number one seven times over the last 10 years. You’re not going to want to miss it, and thanks to his belief in simplifying the complex, you’ll actually be able to listen to it in less than an hour.

I’ll talk to you then.
