Today I’ve got another bonus episode for you, because frankly I’m just a little bit behind on interviews coming out of the Summit, but the interview pipeline is getting stronger and we’ll be back to our regular schedule where you’ll find a new interview every other week starting next week.

In the meantime, I had an opportunity to sit down with Ian Koniak at his Unleash Your Sales Potential Mastermind Retreat right before the Summit. I thought you might enjoy listening to the first half of that conversation. Here it is:

In today’s bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories podcast, I’ve got the first audio of one of the sessions from this year’s Sales Success Summit last month in October, and it’s actually my own. I wanted to share this sooner rather than later because I sincerely hope it helps someone with the holidays on the horizon and the recent daylight savings change in the US which for many compounds the depressive effect of shorter days and more darkness, this can be a tough time of year. I thought it would be good to get this out there right away. Maybe it’s for you, maybe it’s something you want to share with another friend in sales.

Fair warning, this is pretty raw and the language is perhaps a bit spicier than what you’ve perhaps gotten used to on this show, so if you’ve got young ears around, please be aware of that and also know that you can get your hands on this and the other presentations from this year’s Summit for free thanks to our sponsors. Just click over to top1.fm/defunkify where I’m going to include this audio, links to the full video clips that you’ll hear in this presentation, and the link to the form where you can request your code to get access to ALL of the videos, plus a couple of other goodies if you’re interested. With that, let’s get into this:

Remember, for links to get your hands on the video from this presentation as well as all the rest of this year’s Summit presentations and a bunch more, just click over to top1.fm/defunkify, and if you’re acutely feeling the funk right now, and need help. Please ask for it. We want you around, we want to help. Please tell somebody. You can even tell me and I will reply. It might be hard, but it will help. Thanks for listening!

In today’s bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories Podcast, Jeff Bajorek is back with Scott Ingram to debrief the 2023 Sales Success Summit.

In today’s bonus episode, I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about my thoughts on the future of Sales Success, and in this case that has a bit of a dual meaning. As we release this episode we’ll be about halfway through this year’s Sales Success Summit and part of what I’ll be talking to them about is a pretty significant pivot from the more ad-hoc Sales Success Community offering we’ve had in the past to a higher value, invitation-only offering exclusively for top performers and top strivers called the Sales Success Society.Continue Reading …

Today on the Sales Success Stories podcast I’ve got one final Summit Hallway Series conversation for you, between Jeff Bajorek and Ian Koniak. I also have some news. Since we released the last episode, this year’s Sales Success Summit has sold out, so unless a spot or two opens up, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to join us this year if you don’t already have a ticket, but there’s a lot of stuff going on and we’ve tried to put everything together in a single place, so if you’ll go to top1.fm/stuff you’ll find a super simple form where you can let us know what you might be interested in whether that’s joining the waitlist, purchasing a ticket for next year’s Summit at the best possible price, getting your hands on the second volume of the Sales Success Stories book that we’ll be releasing at this year’s event, the videos and recordings, or maybe you’re interested in getting involved in the evolved version of the Sales Success Community that we’ll be rolling out in just a couple of weeks. We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible, so just click over to top1.fm/stuff for all of that, and now over to Ian and Jeff and their conversation following last year’s event, just ignore the fact that I’m sharing the first one last and know that Ian has been the top-rated Summit speaker the last 2 years running. He’ll be opening this year’s event once again and trying for the threepeat. Here they are:

Again, for all of the “stuff” that I mentioned in the intro: The Summit waiting list, the purchase option for next year’s Summit, access to the videos – which we’ll make available for free for those that fill out the form, the ebook – also a free option, a paperback copy, or more info about the evolved Sales Success Community, all of that is at top1.fm/stuff. Thanks for listening and we’ll be back next week with more.
