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.
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:

In today’s bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories podcast, we continue our series of hallway conversations from last year’s Sales Success Summit that we started last month with a gigantic shoutout to Jeff Bajorek for hosting these year after year.
For a little bit of extra context on this one, you can go back to March 7th, 2022 in your feed to hear the Audio from Briana's presentation on Maintaining Your Momentum and Staying Motivated.
Enough from me. Here they are:
Today, Scott welcomes sales professional and friend, Jack Wilson, back to the show after nearly five years to discuss a recent career pivot Jack made. After years as an individual contributor, Jack has taken a recent opportunity to branch out into Sales coaching. He discusses that and so much more on today’s episode. Jack is the epitome of leadership, execution, and motivation. After recently having two children, Jack has made it a point to focus on balance. Jack and Scott talk about the importance of striking that balance, the value of not giving blind loyalty to a company or organization, and what it means to take calculated risks in your career.

In today’s bonus episode of the Sales Success Stories podcast, I’ve got the first in a series of hallway conversations from last year’s Sales Success Summit. Truth be told, I totally forgot I had these. Jeff Bajorek has been kind enough to host this series of interviews during every Summit and until last year we released them in near real-time.
With this set, I had a different plan and apparently completely forgot about said plan. The result is maybe even better because this year’s Summit is just 2 months away on October 16th and 17th and these conversations are such a great reminder of just how powerful and impactful the Summit really is.
Yes, the content and presentations are amazing because they exclusively feature the top performers that you’ve heard here on this podcast, but it’s more about the experience and the opportunity to build real relationships and have real conversations with some of the best in the business.
So, for the next couple of months leading up to this year’s Summit, I’ll be sharing some of these conversations. This one features Jeff talking with Sarah Brazier and Luke Floyd, and for added context, you can scroll back in your feed to March 21, 2023, to hear the audio from Luke’s presentation.
