In this very special episode of the Sales Success Podcast, host Scott Ingram is celebrating the five-year anniversary of the Sales Success Stories Podcast! Guest host Jeff Bajorek rejoins the show today to break down the results of the recent Sales Success Summit and talk about some of the key takeaways Scott has gleaned from his time doing the Sales Success Stories Podcast. Scott reflects on the origin of the Summit and elaborates on why he prefers attendees who invest heavily in themselves and their personal and professional development. If you know Scott, you know it’s very difficult for him to pat himself on the back or take any credit, so Jeff does it for him with a funny little exercise mid-show.

In today's bonus episode of I wanted to share a bit of a preview of this year's Sales Success Summit. At this point, I've got about 70% of the agenda figured out, which is even more than it sounds like because I try to keep 15-20% of it undefined so we can be flexible in the moment and either go deeper into a particular topic that people are interested in, or explore something important that comes up that we don't already have accounted for in the scheduled talks. So I'll really only be adding 2-3 more scheduled speakers. While I continue to work on that, let me tell you about what we do have set up so far and if you'll click over to top1.fm/2021preview I'll have all of these details in addition to links to each presenter's episode as well so you can go even deeper in your preparation for the event itself on October 11th and 12th.
