Daniel Disney shared thisIf you work in sales, lead a sales team, or have ANY responsibility for hitting a revenue number, this is one event I’d seriously get on your calendar. 🔥 OutBound 2026 is coming to LAS VEGAS. 🔥 📅 November 9–12, 2026 📍 Red Rock Resort & Spa, Las Vegas And the speaker lineup is STACKED. You’ll hear from: 🎤 Jeb Blount 🎤 Anthony Iannarino 🎤 Mark Hunter 🎤 Victor Antonio 🎤 Amy Franko 🎤 Colleen Stanley, CEO 🎤 Keith Lubner 🎤 Helen Fanucci 🎤 Tony Morris 🎤 Jessica Stokes 🎤 Harriet Mellor 🎤 Jeb Blount Jr 🎤 And me, Daniel Disney 😎 The Main Event is focused on one of the biggest challenges facing salespeople right now: breaking through buyer resistance - from prospecting and pipeline to ghosting, objections, pricing, LinkedIn and closing. There’s also a dedicated Leadership Summit on November 12 for sales leaders. So why should you book your ticket? 1️⃣ You’re getting PRACTICAL sales training. This isn't two days of motivational fluff that sounds great in the room and disappears the moment you get home. The sessions are designed around tactics, frameworks and strategies you can actually put into action. 2️⃣ You’ll learn how to break through today's buyer resistance. Harder-to-reach prospects. Ghosting. Objections. Stalled deals. Pricing pressure. AI. The agenda has been built around the problems salespeople are dealing with RIGHT NOW. 3️⃣ Sales leaders get an entire day dedicated to LEADERSHIP. Coaching. Emotional intelligence. Talent. AI. Performance. Accountability. The November 12 Leadership Summit is specifically focused on helping leaders build and develop high-performing sales teams. 4️⃣ The networking could be worth the ticket alone. OutBound is deliberately capped at just 400 tickets, creating a much smaller environment where you can actually meet speakers, leaders and other sales professionals rather than disappearing into a crowd of thousands. 5️⃣ You don't just get the experience - you get the training afterwards. Tickets include a session workbook and 12 months of replay access, meaning you can go back through the sessions and turn what you learned into action long after Vegas. And I’ve got something extra for anyone in my network who wants to join us... 💰 SAVE $100 PER TICKET Use discount code: 👉 daniel26 🎟️ BOOK YOUR OUTBOUND 2026 TICKET HERE https://lnkd.in/eZyMAWJN With attendance capped at 400, I wouldn't leave this sitting on the “I'll look at it later” pile. Las Vegas. World-class sales training. An incredible lineup of speakers. Four days surrounded by people obsessed with getting better at sales and leadership. Who am I seeing at OutBound 2026? 👇🔥 P.S What should I do while I'm in Vegas? Any food recommendations? Or great golf courses there??

Daniel Disney shared thisFor the first time in 3 years, I ran a sales call without Otter.ai today. And I regretted it the second the Zoom window closed. 😅 Here's what happened: A hot inbound lead came through on LinkedIn. We messaged back and forth, they had an open calendar slot right then, and 10 minutes later we were on a live call talking through training packages. Because of how fast the turnaround was, I completely forgot to connect Otter to the meeting. So I did what we all used to do years ago. I grabbed a notebook and furiously scribbled handwritten notes while trying to maintain eye contact and stay present. The conversation went well, but the second we hung up, the reality hit. Normally, my post-call routine is completely automated: ↳ Otter captures the entire transcript so I can stay 100% focused on active listening ↳ I use Otter's AI chat to generate a hyper-personalized follow-up email in seconds ↳ I review my talk-to-listen ratio and check how I handled specific objections ↳ All that conversation intelligence gets logged for the rest of the sales cycle Without it today? I was sitting at my desk staring at two pages of messy handwriting, trying to remember the exact phrasing the prospect used when describing their team's biggest challenge. Writing that follow-up email took me nearly 30 minutes of manual piecing together instead of 2 minutes. If you're still relying purely on manual notes on sales calls, you're making life ten times harder than it needs to be. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to deciphering my own handwriting so I can make sure I don't miss anything before sending this proposal. Check Otter and you'll see how amazing it is https://lnkd.in/eDu5Fy_q #OtterPartner

Daniel Disney shared thisThese 6 principles have guided my entire sales career. Every deal I've closed. Every relationship I've built. Every lesson I've learned. They all come back to these 👇 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Most salespeople talk themselves OUT of sales. They talk over customers and miss opportunities. When you listen more, you sell more. (Actual active listening, not pretending to listen!) 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. No one wants to be sold to. But everyone has problems they want solved. When you "sell" it's about you. When you solve, it's about them. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲. Too many salespeople give up too early. Don't become a pest, but don't quit after one or two tries. That extra follow-up might be the difference. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Short-term sales are easier. But relationships deliver more. They're harder work, but way more valuable long-term. 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴. If you just want to sell something, you can end up harassing people. When you genuinely want to help, you become real and authentic. Be driven by helping. It's the professional way to sell. 𝗥𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴. I'll take rejection over never trying every day of the week. Worst case? You fail. Best case? You succeed. These are my principles. They've never let me down. What would you add?

Daniel Disney shared this8 years ago today I flew to Estonia for my first international speaking gig, today I’m flying back from Estonia after recording for a HUGE podcast… It’s one of those moments you stop and look back. 8 years ago I was in my first year self employed. I was SO nervous travelling to Estonia! The morning of my first international keynote I was sick in the hotel (Chris Murray will remember this as he was there calming me down 😂) Fast forward to now… I’ve spoken all over the world. I thrive on stage! Last week I spoke to one of my largest audiences at UNBOUND (2,000+). Next month I’ll be speaking at Outbound in Las Vegas with Jeb Blount, Anthony Iannarino, VictorVictor Antonio, Mark Hunter & more. And yesterday I filmed an epic podcast episode on The Winning Friends Podcast (I’ll share it when it’s edited and published) I also got time to explore Estonia today and wow is it a beautiful place. I’m truly grateful for the last 8 years. And I’m super excited for the next 8 years and beyond. Where else in the world should I travel to? 🌎

Daniel Disney shared this20+ years in sales taught me something most reps figure out too late. The best salespeople aren't the ones with the fanciest pitch. They're not the smoothest talkers. They're not even the ones who work the longest hours. They're the ones who do these 5 things consistently: 1️⃣ Always, always prospect and build pipeline 24/7 Your pipeline is your lifeline. The moment you stop filling it, you're living on borrowed time. 2️⃣ Listen to customers way more than they talk to them Most reps talk far too much. Top performers understand the power of listening. Your customers will tell you exactly how to help them... if you let them. 3️⃣ Seek to actually help people, not just sell to them Prospects can smell commission breath from a mile away. When you genuinely care about solving their problem? They feel it. 4️⃣ Build long lasting relationships with their customers One sale is nice. A customer who comes back for 10 years and refers you to everyone they know? That's a career. 5️⃣ Work both hard AND smart Hard work without strategy is just exhaustion. Smart work without effort is just theory. You need both. None of this is complicated. None of this requires fancy tools. None of this has changed in decades. But most salespeople still don't do it. The ones who do? They're the ones consistently at the top of the leaderboard. What's one of these you're focusing on improving this week?

Daniel Disney shared thisI run a community of 1,000,000+ salespeople, but I don't have a single AI agent in my business today. That changes this week. I've decided to build my own AI prospecting agent from scratch to generate warm opportunities every single morning. When I sat down to map out what I actually need this agent to handle, 3 non-negotiables came up: 1️⃣ Understand my ICP once I don't want to log in and re-prompt it every morning. I want to teach it my ideal customer profile once, and let it run proactively every single day. 2️⃣ Prioritise by buying signals It shouldn't just hand me a cold list of names. I want it scanning live buying signals, matching them to my ICP, and serving up the hottest prospects first. 3️⃣ Deep CRM and business context This is the game changer. Connected directly to my CRM so it knows my past customers, open deals, and full product ecosystem without me having to feed it context manually. That third piece is exactly what HubSpot is exploring in their new Fall 2026 Spotlight: what can AI actually achieve when it truly understands your business? https://lnkd.in/edArceB2 I'm going to document the entire build journey right here on LinkedIn. How it gets built, how it operates daily, and the real pipeline it generates. If you could build one AI agent to take over a painful task in your sales routine, what would you have it do? Pop your idea in the comments below (I'll be reading through all of them while I map out the workflow tonight) 👇 #HubSpotMediaPartner #ad

Daniel Disney shared this#AD I realised on average I have 16+ tabs open across 3 screens. Between jumping from Sales Navigator to my CRM, checking email, and answering messages in Microsoft Teams, it gets chaotic fast. Am I on my own here?? Most salespeople spend half their day playing tab tennis (it’s not as fun as it sounds).. We jump back and forth trying to track down information to build pipeline, but constantly switching between tools completely kills your focus. You need the insights to prospect, yet hunting for them takes up half your selling time. That’s why this latest update from LinkedIn for Sales is so huge. It’s the latest major release, and it directly tackles tab chaos by bringing Sales Navigator alerts straight into Microsoft Teams. Instead of interrupting your day to search across multiple tools, critical buyer signals land right where you're already chatting and working: ↳ A new decision maker joins a target account ↳ A key contact changes companies ↳ A prospect gets promoted You spot the key buyer moment and act immediately, without leaving Teams. It gives you the right signal at the right moment, right where you're already working. Check out the full release and see how it works here: https://lnkd.in/gjZnuE3S How many tabs do you have open right now? Be honest! #ItWorksWhereYouWork

Daniel Disney liked thisDaniel Disney liked thisToday, we’re launching Sessions in Synthesia: real-time Avatars that can coach, interview, and guide. This was a massive effort from our team, and I could not be more excited to start getting feedback. The simplest way to think about a Session is as having the right person available at the moment you need them. A coach when you want to practice. A researcher when you want to understand what someone really thinks. An expert when you are stuck and need help. Roleplay Sessions let you practice difficult conversations with an Avatar that responds to what you actually say, pushes back, and gives feedback. Survey Sessions turn a form into a conversation. The Avatar can ask follow-up questions, explore an interesting answer, and then aggregate those conversations into structured insight. Both are live today, with more Session types coming soon. The goal is not to replace the human interaction that matters. It is to make coaching, expertise, practice, and feedback available far more often. Try it now for free: synthesia.io/sessions

Daniel Disney liked thisDaniel Disney liked this“When can I send an Avatar to a meeting for me?” #1 customer request since 2017 – today you finally can! 🤯 Synthesia just crossed a huge milestone. After 9 years of hearing this question, I’m very excited to introduce Sessions - Avatar meetings that help scale your time massively. In a single day, you can: - Train 1 —> 1,000 sales reps - Check in with 2 —> 2,000 employees - Interview 3 —> 3,000 customers As we step into the agentic era, I feel very passionately that AI experiences will mirror our most common human experiences. That’s why we designed Sessions to feel just like joining a video call, but on the other side is an Avatar that can speak any language, run meetings, and do work for you. We already launched Roleplays to help practice hard conversations with Avatars and so far, our early access customers are loving Sessions. Today, we're launching Surveys, where you can talk to an Avatar instead of filling out a text form. This is powerful because talking is so much faster than typing. In 5 minutes, we can deliver 10x the information and it feels way less like work. All powered by our new EXPRESS-Live model, benchmarking as the best in class for real-time avatar tech! We'll keep rolling out new Sessions, so stay tuned… Til then, try it for free in synthesia.io/sessions - and let me know what you think! 👇
