Jake Thompson Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Jake Thompson, CSP®, helps sales teams and leaders protect their edge after they’ve already won. An anti-complacency strategist and 5x author, Jake built Compete Every Day® from the trunk of his car into a 7-figure brand worn in 62 countries. He has delivered 500+ keynotes for organizations including Pfizer, Deloitte, Genentech, and Titleist Golf, with frameworks teams keep using long after the event.

Jake Thompson is an international keynote speaker, anti-complacency strategist, 4x author, and the founder of Compete Every Day®, a performance brand he started from the trunk of his car in 2011. He took it from $60,000 in debt to a 7-figure company now worn by leaders in 62 countries. As a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®), a designation held by fewer than 700 professional speakers worldwide, Jake has delivered more than 600 keynotes. His clients include Pfizer, Deloitte, Genentech, Titleist, WestRock, Skanska, and more than 20 chapters of the Associated General Contractors of America. Clients hire - and rehire - Jake each year. He helps elite sales teams, executives, and frontline leaders diagnose Victory Drift™: the slow, invisible backward movement that erodes a team’s competitive edge after it has already won. Jake’s frameworks survive the flight home, and the results show it - 74% of Jake’s bookings come from repeat clients, referrals, past audience members, and the Compete Every Day community. Organizations bring him back because his systems close the gap between what teams know and what they actually do. His work extends well beyond the stage. The Compete Every Day podcast has been downloaded more than two million times, and Jake has been featured in Forbes and Inc. Magazine. He holds an MBA and a Mental Performance Mastery (MPM) certification. Jake lives in Frisco, Texas, with his wife Elena and four rescue dogs named after desserts: Donut, Snacks, Cookie, and Pop-Tart.
"I was able to hear Jake speak at our national sales conference this year and it was one of the most motivating presentations I have ever heard. It was not at fifty thousand feet but really about execution and how to compete everyday. It was talked about by all of our producers and as a leader, it gave me a mindset shift as well. Highly recommend Jake!" - Kelly, Highstreet Insurance "I had the pleasure of having Jake Thompson speak at Cacique Foods’ National Sales Meeting, and he made a tremendous impact on our team. Jake challenged our team to move beyond simply competing and instead approach the business with the mindset, preparation, confidence, and discipline required to win. His message was engaging, authentic, and immediately relevant to our sales organization. Most importantly, Jake connected with our team. He didn’t just deliver a presentation—he gave us a mindset and language we can carry forward as we Turn It Up across the organization. I highly recommend Jake to any company looking to energize its people, challenge their thinking, and build a true Compete Every Day culture!" - Brent, Cacique Foods "Jake Thompson didn't just deliver a keynote at our Leadership Summit; he set a new standard for what a speaker can bring to an organization. To say he was the best we’ve ever had isn't hyperbole, it’s the unanimous feedback from our entire leadership team. What stood out immediately was Jake’s commitment to helping us achieve our goals and start the year with grounded and strategic urgency. It was clear that he invested significant time studying our specific business model and category, ensuring his Compete Every Day methodology was seamlessly woven into our unique challenges and goals. This wasn't a canned presentation. It was a 90-minute masterclass in mindset, tailored so specifically to our mission that it felt like he had been part of our team for years. The ripple effect of Jake’s message will be felt far beyond the summit. It will influence how we show up for the people we serve at our own doors and the 2M+ doors we serve daily. If you are looking for a speaker who will move the needle and leave a lasting legacy on your culture, Jake Thompson is the only choice." - Corrie, Valet Living
