  • How to Start and Market Your Business Podcast with John Golden

    How to Start and Market Your Business Podcast with John Golden
    2024/09/04
    Starting a podcast is no simple task. If you have the right strategies, it can be a fun, fruitful endeavor. I discuss how to do that in this episode with my guest, John Golden. John is a globally acknowledged Sales & Marketing thought leader, speaker, and strategist, has conducted over 1500 video interviews of thought leaders for Sales POP! online sales magazine & YouTube Channel and for audio podcast channels where Sales POP! is rated in the top 2% of most popular shows out of 3,320,580 podcasts globally, ranked by Listen Notes. Around 2020 John and his team were migrating their blog. The question “Does the world need more product blogs?” popped into their heads. They decided to do something different. John suggested they start an online magazine. They wanted to create meaningful and valuable content to educate people about niche business topics. They reached out to people to get them to contribute, but with a twist. John started interviewing them. He thought “Why would we create content from only our point of view when there’s global experts out there with genius to share. So, they started doing that. Their podcast was born. They wanted to bring experts’ expertise to the world and give those people a platform to share their genius with John’s audience. What’s the starting point? The place you need to start is with your “Why?”. Think about things like why are you starting the podcast? If you’re starting a business podcast and you think “I’m going to start this business podcast to generate leads for my business” That’s one way you can go about it. If that’s what you’re going to do, then you need to be very specific about who your target audience is and what will be of value to them. That decides what your interview topics will be. You must do your research and get intelligently targeted with your efforts. Otherwise, you’re going to start your podcast and you’re going to be frustrated because you’re never going to build an audience if your podcast topics aren’t focused on your audience’s needs. One key point? It’s better to have a small audience of the right people than a large audience of the wrong people. That’s when you must sit down at the beginning and answer “Why am I starting this podcast and what is the purpose of it?” Will you be happy with your podcast being very targeted and very niche or do you want to go broader? If you’re going to go broader why and how are you going to get there? Unfortunately, a lot of people just jump in before they’ve answered their “Why?”. That’s the first problem to avoid. We get into more things to avoid and strategies for business podcasting success during our conversation. In this episode we also discuss: How to discover and decide on a target audience. Great advice for new hosts. The importance of getting honest feedback and constructive criticism when you get started. The case for not using “canned questions” that you send to your guests ahead of time. How to embrace and be your authentic self as a host. When a new podcaster can expect to get traction with listeners and viewers. The qualities of successful podcasts needed for faster growth. Guerrilla marketing techniques and strategies to grow your audience base. The power of guesting on other peoples’ podcasts. How to approach podcasters to be a guest on their shows. How to sell yourself as a host. Once you get traction, how to maintain it and grow it for the long haul. …and more golden nuggets of advice!

  • How to Stop “Networking” and Start Building Relationships that Matter with Daniel Andrews

    How to Stop “Networking” and Start Building Relationships that Matter with Daniel Andrews
    2024/08/27
    Traditional networking doesn’t work anymore. These days it’s all about meaningful relationships. I discuss how to build them in this episode with my guest, Daniel Andrews. Daniel is a native of Columbia, South Carolina where he currently resides after an absence of 13 years. He owns a business that shows businesspeople how to identify, find, meet, and nurture professional relationships with Key Referral Partners. Fundamentally, he shows businesspeople how to STOP “networking,” and START building true networks. This is his fourth career; he’s been successfully self-employed for 36 years (50 if you start with the lemonade stand in first grade). Networking Origins Originally, Daniel wasn’t good at networking. He decided to work at being good. Some painful lessons, mentoring, reading, doing things right and taking notes and doing things wrong and taking notes eventually led to networking success. He believes that the way we set expectations for other people and confirm our expectations of them is very important. Initially Daniel believed that sales were referral based, but in a very casual way. He thought that getting referrals was networking, and later he discovered that that isn’t the case. The moment that it became clear to him he was in the insurance business doing employee benefit work and got a “referral” that was much more. It was an endorsement. His experience up until then was an introduction was just a hand-off to hopefully get a sale. In direct sales that was enough because he could demonstrate the product that he was selling. Then someone personally vouched for Daniel’s integrity. In that moment he realized that an introduction is not a high-quality referral; an endorsement is a high-quality referral. We build networks because people have credibility with people that we have credibility with. Daniel didn’t need to get introduced to his next client, he had to borrow the credibility he had with a friend. The credibility that his friend had with another person got him where Daniel needed to go. That was the big light bulb moment. His wingman wasn’t there to introduce Daniel, he was there to endorse Daniel. How to Start a Relationship the Right Way Your attitude must be one of mutuality; you need to see who you can serve and who you can be served by. Daniel says this isn’t reciprocity, he doesn’t like that word at all. Reciprocity usually means that people are keeping score. When he meets somebody in a networking situation, Daniel will give what he can to the other person during their interaction, regardless of the time frame. At the same time, he’s evaluating if there’s a reason to have another, longer meeting. As far as what it looks like stylistically and what the actual actions are, Daniel’s always probing for higher value between the two of them. Traditional networking is “speed prospecting”; people take a one-dimensional model: They meet someone, try to figure out if the other person is a prospect, yes/no/maybe, get a business card and move on. Nobody likes being treated like a prospect until they’ve identified themselves as a prospect and want to buy. There’s a better way to build business relationships and we’ll look at that. In this episode we also discuss: How to get out of “speed prospecting” mode. The best thing you can talk about when you’re meeting someone for the first time. How to gain trust with potential prospects. How to know which relationships to build and maintain, and which ones to let go. How to bridge that gap between serving and traditional selling. How to foster a referral relationship when there’s not an immediate referral to be given. Why not keeping score in business relationships is a good thing. …and more golden nuggets of advice!

  • How to be a Great Podcast Guest with Noémi Beres

    How to be a Great Podcast Guest with Noémi Beres
    2024/08/13
    Becoming a great podcast guest is a blend of art and science that you can master with the right strategies. My guest Noémi Beres and I discuss some of those strategies. Noémi is the Co-Owner of the Podcast Connections podcast booking agency. She helps entrepreneurs and business owners enrich their lives through connections, sharing their knowledge, and connecting them to quality podcast shows. Getting into podcasting was a happy accident for Noémi. She became an entrepreneur in 2007 in the social media marketing and online business travel spaces with her husband. Then the pandemic abruptly halted all travel plans in 2020. Fortunately, they had a mentor that advised them to start a business in the podcasting world because it was booming back in 2020. Noémi hadn’t even listened to podcasts before then. That advice provided them with the pivot that would change the course of their business lives. Preparing to be a Great Podcast Guest First, you must do some self-reflection and figure out what your niche for guesting is. That’s the most important step. Ask yourself “What is my business is about and what stories do I want to share?” You also ask, “Who’s attention am I trying to get, who is my ideal listener?” Then, explore different podcasting platforms and find podcasts that align with your message and your target markets. Once you find a few podcasts, create a document with all their contact information. That gives you a “hit list” of industry specific podcasts which means you have the beginning of a marketing plan to kickstart your podcast guesting journey. Outreach Strategies for Potential Podcast Guests After you define your podcast target markets it’s time to start your outreach. Each podcaster has their preferred method of reaching them. Some podcasts have a submission form, which is the easiest option. The other way is to find their email address and craft a pitch. Your pitch must stand out because podcasts hosts get a ton of emails. Noémi suggests you listen to a couple of your target’s podcast episodes and tell the host, specifically, what you liked most about the episodes. This lets them know you took the time to “get to know their show”. You could also leave a five-star review for them on a podcast platform and let them know that you did. Once you get a podcaster’s attention the fun begins! In this episode we discuss: What great guests do differently than average or bad guests. How to prepare for your interviews beforehand. The best way to answer questions during your interviews. Common mistakes that many podcast guests make and how to avoid them. What to do immediately before your interviews. What podcast hosts can do to help their guests be great guests. The case for not sending “canned questions" to the podcast hosts. How long you can expect it to take to become a great podcast guest. What great podcast guests do after the interview. …and other golden nuggets of advice!
