In this episode Thom interviews Scott Ingram from the Sales Success Stories Podcast. Scott is the brains behind the Sales Success Summit that is being held on May 7-8, 2018 in Austin, Texas. Thom Singer will be co-hosting the event, and together they discuss how this event came to be, who should attend, what to expect, and the big take-aways that successful sales professionals will get from participating in this conference.

Sales people who make a career selling products and services are a unique bunch of people. They can be some of the highest earners in the business community, and yet there is often not the same types of events held for producers as there are for those in sales management, marketing, or other roles. Sure, big companies have sales rallies, but smaller organizations do not have the ability to expose their people to the education, motivation, and high-level networking. This event is ideal for those people.
