And I got like, 10 minutes and went straight back to work." Chris on saying no more often: "As someone who struggles with co-dependency, in order to make space, I'm going to have to disappoint somebody by saying I need to take a break right now. I'm sorry, I cannot do this. Here are the other things that I need to do. As a co-dependent, saying no is very difficult for me."John on listening to God's will about work and rest: "We get to this place where we care so much about what other people think that we're starting to discount what God thinks and what He really wants us to do. We know unequivocally that He wants us to work from a place of rest. He built it into the rhythm of creation for us to work six days and take a day of rest." Want to share feedback or need a prayer request?

Guesting on podcasts is one of the best ways to grow your own. However, a lot of hosts hesitate to do it because of preconceived notions that they're not qualified enough to get invited and the like. In this episode of the Salescast Podcast, we are joined by an amazing individual who has guested on over 200 shows.

And people share it. In sales teams, someone would say, 'Oh, my boss listened to this episode and asked all of us to listen to it.' I'm always thrilled when people share it to somebody else, too."Nikki on the changes she noticed from being a guest to a podcast host: "One thing is, it's different being interviewed versus interviewing somebody. I think learning how to still direct the podcast but allow for the guest to really shine. Letting the guest kind of run a little bit and giving them room to share their content but at the same time bring it back to my audience."Nikki's advice on getting started: "The most important thing is you have to decide what's your outcome. What do you most want to happen as a result of being on a podcast? And then you start to identify if your goal is to grow your business, then you need to understand who the audience is and from there start to narrow down the podcasts that attract that type of audience."  You can connect with Nikki and her work in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolerausch/Website: https://www.yoursalesmaven.com/Sales Maven Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sales-maven/id1500066488Closing the Sale Ebook: https://www.yoursalesmaven.com/salescast If you're listening to the Salescast Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.

There's a human element here. I love Slack, I love Discord, I love LinkedIn. But you know what, know what I love better and most of all? I love chatting to people. Like we're chatting now. We're in a slightly different part of the world now which is all cool, but it feels real."Richard on earning people's trust online: "You have to show people that firstly, they can trust you. Secondly, that you are authentic. And thirdly, that you have some sort of presence online that they can look through and understand who you are, what you do, why you do it, who you stand for.

Because at the end of the day, podcast hosts understand that you want to get in your new book, your company, your product. We understand that there's some type of pitch component. Most people are not coming on to be super altruistic."Tyzer describes Alchemy Cast, an app that matches podcast hosts to guests: "If they (podcast hosts) hit that they're interested as well, then it opens up the mailbox-inbox function for them to be able to chat.

I'm not so definitive on things."Ryan on the link between coachability and performance: "I found that people who perform at a high level and are consistently at the top of the stack rankings, they're the ones who want coaching the most.

The only difference was that while I wouldn't get the certification from a university, I would hopefully gather better learning through my own curiosity of choosing my personal professors where I could ask them questions, record those conversations and share with others while learning in public."Ryan describes his ideal guest: "They've sustained excellence over an extended period of time, and most importantly, they know why. So if you've done well, I'm going to ask questions that are going to force you to deconstruct the process as to why." You can connect with Ryan and his work in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanhawk12/Twitter: https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12The Learning Leader Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-learning-leader-show-with-ryan-hawk/id985396258 If you're listening to the Salescast podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.

SHOW SUMMARYLike all things worth doing, running a successful podcast that delivers value to your listeners while simultaneously generating revenue for your business doesn't happen overnight. In this episode of the Salescast Podcast, our host Edward Purmalis continues his conversation with George Leith, Chief Customer Officer of Vendasta and the host of the Conquer Local podcast about the intricacies of the podcast as a medium, and how to get executive buy-in if you're running a podcast as a marketing tool for a company.  HIGHLIGHTSThe difference of interviewing for a podcast vs radioGeorge's recipe for successWith more listeners comes greater responsibilityTips for getting people to guest on your show The balance between delivering structure and spontaneity Have a vision that drives you everyday and stick with it QUOTESGeorge's advice for podcasters that need to up their game: "Making sure that you're able to come up with strong metrics to prove ROI, training the team properly on what we're going to need to be able to deliver a great episode, and then taking that personal responsibility that George needs to up his game. Start listening to other great interviewers. Start watching other great interviewers." George on what he learned after building out a podcast from the ground up: "The one thing I like to tell people when they ask what have you learned most about building out a podcast, it's stick with it. You're not going to get instant gratification. You're not going to walk in one day after three episodes and have listeners in 50 different countries, 20,000 uniques — it just doesn't happen. It takes time.

SHOW SUMMARYPodcasts, formerly an obscure way to access information via audio, have become irrevocably mainstream. May it be bedroom enthusiasts or full fledged production companies, anybody can start a podcast to reach millions of listeners around the world. What separates successful podcasts with millions of listeners from the rest, however, is the amount of dedication, effort, and consistency put into them.In this episode of the Salescast Podcast, our host Edward Purmalis continues his conversation with Tenbound CEO David Dulany and David Dember, the host of the Sales Development Podcast on all things podcasting, content creation, and standing out from the competition.  HIGHLIGHTSDark social matters, even though you can't measure it Standing out in a sea of content takes a lot of work There's an audience for everything in podcasting If it serves a need, it's worth doingYou can make podcasting as you're full-time career  QUOTESDavid Dulany on standing out over the competition: "The biggest challenge today is just attention because there's so many great resources and in our industry, a lot of software companies have a content engine. And they're creating amazing content constantly that we're trying to keep up with."What David Dember really loves about content creation: "More than anything else with the podcast, I just love building organic relationships because if you do, you become a trusted advisor. So if someone's really not having a great day, or something else is going on, you can be able to actually listen and if there's a solution that will be able to help them, great. And if not, let's continue to just become friends and get to know each other."David Dulany on the value of learning the nitty gritty of a medium: "You can get in a rut of just thinking that channel doesn't work or that medium doesn't work. But actually, you're just doing it wrong. You're just not creating a podcast that's appealing visually or stuff like that. So there's always something to learn."You can connect with David Dulany and David Dember and in the links below:Signup for the Tenbound newsletter - https://www.tenboundplus.com/free-access?r_done=1LinkedIn (David Dember) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daviddember/LinkedIn (David Dulany) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkdulany/The Sales Development Podcast - https://tenbound.com/podcast/If you're listening to the Salescast Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.

SHOW SUMMARYThere will always be a price for innovation, and choosing the unbeaten path is risky, but fortune will always favor the bold. Such is the story of our guests, who started podcasting in 2016 and decided to find a niche that not many had occupied before: sales development. In this episode of the Salescast Podcast, our host Edward Purmalis talks to Tenbound CEO David Dulany and David Dember, the host of the Sales Development Podcast about finding an underserved sector, fill the need, and dominate it by setting a high standard for those who are bound to follow your example.  HIGHLIGHTSHow and Why Tenbound got startedAnybody can start a podcast, but it takes a lot more to keep it goingThe tech industry is experiencing a shakedownEverything is an ad now, it's tough to stand outPreparation meets opportunity QUOTESDavid Dulany on the state of podcasting when they started in 2016: "Even at that time, people were saying podcasting is over, podcasting is dead. There's too many podcasts and stuff like that. And this is like six years ago. It was interesting that, ‘No dude. Podcasting is not dead. It's actually an awesome medium for so many different things.'"David Dulany on the mission of the Sales Development podcast: "I always looked at it that there's a lot of super smart people that are doing this. They're doing it really really well. And you never talk to them because they're in the office or now with COVID. They're at home working remotely. They're heads down. They're not trying to become a guru or something in the market. But they have all this great information. It's like how can we surface this and share it and make it useful for people."David Dember's process on researching his guest: "Being a better host, it's once again understanding the individual. Not only understanding the role. So for example, I end up going to someone's LinkedIn page and I don't have much information about their actual day-to-day. Like someone could have the Head of Global Sales Development, there might not be much research on that. I'll take it a step further. I'll go into Indeed.com and I'll round up going to Jobs and typing on that search specifically to understand their KPIs. If I understand their KPIs that's going to be one bucket for me to really identify how we're going to have a conversation."You can connect with David Dulany and David Dember and in the links below:LinkedIn (David Dember) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daviddember/LinkedIn (David Dulany) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkdulany/The Sales Development Podcast - https://tenbound.com/podcast/If you're listening to the Salescast Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.

Otherwise, you're going to spend a ton of time asking for the same stuff like ‘Hey, have you got a high resolution profile photo? Have you got a bio?
