We all know that storytelling is a powerful marketing tool. But when you combine it with real stories of how your program or service has impacted someone, you create something truly special. When you're using your podcast as a tool to nurture and convert ideal clients, there are certain things they need to hear, believe, and understand about working with you before taking the first step to becoming a paying client. That's why I teach my clients to create content that falls within three podcast episode types: authority, belief-shifting, and sales. In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into one of my favourite sales episodes: case study episodes. We'll explore why these episode resonate so deeply with listeners, how they build trust and credibility, and most importantly, how you can structure them to increase your listener-to-client conversions.
