Brian Hicks is the top seller and team leader as VP of Sales at Belkins, but that's just scratching the surface of what Brian is all about. As a sales professional, Brian has been ultra-successful throughout his career. However, it was surviving a tragedy that completely altered Brian's mindset, outlook, and approach to Sales. Brian is passionate about helping others in whatever way he can. That passion has provided him with a meaningful and winding road of professional experiences. With over fifteen years of experience in relationship-based sales and management, Brian has successfully recruited, trained, enabled, managed, and integrated solutions and teams in startups, Fortune 100, 500, and 1000 companies across industries such as IT, Finance, Retail, and Food & Beverage.

And, with the departure of our friend DeJuan Brown to an incredible opportunity, Carl is now leading the Sales team at Fringe. Preferring to care for others and help them in practical and tangible ways, Carl uses his quiet personal warmth to communicate this feeling to everyone he meets. Carl is a strategic and thoughtful sales professional who is both methodical and relaxed in his approach.

Hey there, thank you for listening to and subscribing to this podcast. I really appreciate it. I just have two quick updates for you in this off-schedule episode. The first one is personal, and what I'm actually going to do is include my Daily Sales Tip from May 31st here in a couple of minutes so you don't have to go hunt that down if you haven't yet heard it. It's a little bit of an uncomfortable share for me, but explains the inconsistency with new interviews here on Sales Success. A situation I'm working on rectifying over the next few weeks. So I guess stay tuned for that update. In the meantime, I want you to get yourself registered for the webinar series that we're presenting with the support of Vidyard, The Sales Collective, Sales Hacker, Outreach, and the Sales Feed. It's happening on Friday, June 9th. Hopefully, you're able to join us live, but if you register we'll be sure to get you the recordings afterwards. Do us both a favor and hit pause, click over to Top1.fm/WS for Webinar Series, and register. You can see the full lineup there as well, but being that you're listening to a podcast, you might be a bit more audio inclined, so let me share with you what's in store:

Today I've got a quick update on our upcoming Basecamp event. This was originally scheduled for May 9th and was meant to be kind of a Sales Success Summit light. A single-day event with a whole series of really actionable, shorter presentations from the top sellers that you've heard here on this show. I won't go into the gory details, but some things happened that caused me to rethink that approach and I'm super excited about how we've pivoted. We'll be taking that originally planned content and will be doing a day-long webinar series in collaboration with Sales Hacker on June 9th. We don't quite have the landing page up for that, but if you go to top1.fm and join the listener list you'll be one of the first to have the opportunity to sign-up.

This is Evan Kelsay, who was the star of episodes 56 and 74 on this podcast delivering his presentation on Megadeal Hack: The Internal Sale, and I think I'm pretty safe in saying that this was the funniest presentation at the Summit which is pretty massively enhanced by Evan's slides, so I'd highly recommend you check out the video version.

This is Luke Floyd, who was the star of episode 140 on this podcast delivering his presentation on Unlimiting Beliefs and Owning Your Success.
