Podcasts about CRM

I've seen too many women miss out on life-changing opportunities because they're confusing entitlement with empowerment, and calling it a “rich girl mindset” when it's actually broke girl energy in disguise. In this episode, I talk about how to spot when free opportunities are actually more valuable than a paycheck, how to know what's truly worth your time, and how to build momentum in your “internship era.” I also share the stories behind the free speaking gigs and media features that didn't pay me upfront, but ultimately made me millions. If you're turning down stages, interviews, or visibility just because they don't come with a check, you could be blocking the leverage your brand needs.

What if the real reason you're not closing deals has nothing to do with your leads and everything to do with your process?In this episode, Sean Samson breaks down the myths around what makes someone great at sales, and why most people fail. Sean shares how he went from average to top 1% by mastering the process, not his ‘sales' personality. He reveals why decent leads don't matter if your close rate is broken, how to adjust pricing based on buyer beliefs, and the difference between sales and business development (hint: most people don't know it). Whether you're hiring your first sales rep or trying to close more deals yourself, Sean offers insights into creating scalable sales systems.Topics explored in this episode:(07:10) Understand the Game of Sales*Sean knew if he wanted to be a 1% top performer in his industry, he had to know sales. *First things first, you need to understand why people aren't buying from you. *You need consistency, and to have consistency, you need a process.(9:40) Create a People-First Company*Sales fall through because the customer didn't have enough information. *...and they had the wrong price! You can adjust your price to the needs of the customer. *You run a sales call to find out what your customer believes and to meet them there. (19:15) Decent Leads, Horrible Close Ratio*How are leads coming to you? *Why are they coming to you? *You need to track the customer journey through a CRM. (31:35) Business Development vs. Sales*What's the difference between business development and sales?

In Episode 281, Kelly Kennedy delivers a powerful reminder that in a world moving faster than ever, adaptability isn't optional—it's the skill that defines whether we thrive or fade. He shares how resisting change once held him back, from pushing against early CRM systems to realizing that fear of new ideas only slows progress for everyone involved. Using Apple as a case study in self-disruption, Kelly shows how the most successful leaders and companies evolve intentionally—choosing to innovate before they're forced to.Kelly challenges listeners to stop fearing change and start seeking it, revealing how the information age has given way to the intelligence age powered by AI. He outlines clear, practical steps to embrace adaptability, face fear, and lead with purpose in times of rapid transformation. The message is clear: adaptability isn't about reacting to change—it's about causing it, while it's still your choice to do so.Key Takeaways: 1. Adaptability isn't reacting to change, it's causing it before you're forced to.2. The information age is over — those who cling to old rules will get left behind.3. Fear of change is natural, but it's usually just the fear of what we can't yet see.4. The other side of change is always better, even if it's invisible from where you stand.5. Resisting progress doesn't protect us — it holds everyone back.6. Apple's success came from self-disruption; they chose to evolve while it was still their choice.7. In the AI era, adaptability isn't optional — it's the new literacy.8. Systems and processes still matter, but only if they evolve with you.9. Growth begins when you stop defending comfort and start seeking change.10. The people who win the future will be the ones who adapt faster than fear can stop them.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a lawyer looking for some tips on AI technology? In this episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson and expert guest Martin Kravchenko discuss the practical use of AI technologies—such as vibe coding, AI agents, and tools like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Notebook LM—in legal and personal injury law firms. Tyson and Martin discuss bottlenecks within firms, especially with tech versus human bottlenecks. For law firms, Martin suggests that people are the biggest bottlenecks if you don't have the right amount of staff in your firm doing the right work. With a small firm, the people are important. As a firm increases, technology can become the bottleneck because there has to be a good, streamlined system in place to ensure people are able to do their jobs. If a good, solid CRM is not in place, the whole firm can really suffer.Martin speaks about his use of an AI tool called Gemini and the benefits of it. One thing is people can access it through their Google Workspace and Gmail, which makes it easy and efficient. It can also process documents better, which for lawyers who work with medical records, can be really handy. Many people struggle with badly scanned PDF documents, which for Gemini, it can read quite well. This can make any lawyer's life a lot easier when preparing for a case.Listen in to learn more!1:35 Integrating New Tools into Law Firm Processes2:21 Mapping and Standardizing Law Firm Processes4:18 Centralizing Templates and Knowledge Management7:35 When to Invest in Technology vs. Human Resources8:51 Effective Prompting and AI Tool Usage16:29 AI-Generated Content and Deepfakes17:12 Why Prefer Gemini Over Other AI Models20:56 The Value of Simple, Scalable Solutions35:32 Future of AI Agents and Legal Practice50:25 Long-Term Vision: Lawyers as Monitors of AI AgentsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Martin:WebsiteYouTubeFacebookLinkedIn

Navigating Email Marketing Best Practices for Podcast Growth with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This episode focuses on navigating email best practices for podcast growth. Favour Obasi-ike, a creative entrepreneur and business owner with a background in SEO, Pinterest, and podcasting, shares insights and strategies to help podcasters grow and scale their business through effective email marketing. Key recommendations include the importance of having a dedicated website for a podcast, vocally mentioning the website on the show for transcription purposes, and strategically using keywords in episode titles and descriptions for organic search visibility. Favour Obasi-ike also emphasizes the critical role of email deliverability and managing customer relationships using a reliable email service provider and CRM system, offering specific advice on elements like font size, image resolution, and avoiding underscores in usernames to ensure accessibility and strong organic reach.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services? Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Need more information? Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.>> Visit our Official website for the best digital marketing, SEO, and AI strategies today!Core Principle: The Podcast-Website SymbiosisThe foundational element for podcast growth is establishing a dedicated online presence. Favour Obasi-ike argues that every podcast, regardless of its stage, requires a website.• The "Front Door" Analogy: A website is described as the "front door" for the podcast. When a listener hears a URL mentioned in an episode and types it into a new browser tab, they are metaphorically "opening a door" to the podcast's home. The homepage is the initial entry point from which they can explore other content.• Central Hub for Engagement: The website serves as a central location for listeners to connect more deeply with the show. It is the ideal place to host freebies, newsfeeds, blog posts, and, most importantly, an email sign-up form.• Capturing the Audience: By verbally directing listeners to a specific URL on the podcast (e.g., "go to playinc.online/newsfeed"), podcasters create a direct path for listeners to subscribe to an email list. This is demonstrated in real-time by Favour Obasi-ike asking listeners to provide their first name and best email via a link.Strategic Email Marketing for Audience EngagementOnce a system for capturing emails is in place, the focus shifts to strategic content and delivery to build and maintain a relationship with the audience.Content and Subject Line Strategy• Intrigue Over Information: Generic subject lines like "Episode One Introduction" are less effective. A more powerful approach is to use curiosity-piquing subject lines, such as, "Want to know the best way to make a sandwich?"• The "Sandwich" Analogy: This example illustrates that a subject line can use a relatable concept to draw in an audience, even if the episode's core topic is different (e.g., using the layers of a sandwich as an analogy for content marketing). This method attracts both those interested in the literal subject and the curious.• Valuable First Content: A podcaster's first episode, or the first email a new subscriber receives, can be strategically repurposed. For a business, this could be a "Frequently Asked Questions" episode, providing immediate value and educating a potential client about their services.Cadence and ConsistencyBuilding Relationships: The goal of email marketing is customer relationship management (CRM). Consistent communication builds familiarity and trust.Email Frequency: Favour Obasi-ike personally sends a minimum of two emails per month, rarely exceeding four to eight unless for a segmented campaign. The goal is to maintain a presence without overwhelming the audience.The Annual Cycle: Favour Obasi-ike views email as an "orbit," aiming to send 365 emails over time to represent a full cycle. After a year, the strategy should evolve, introducing a "new form" or "new formality" to keep the content fresh.Technical Foundations for Email DeliverabilityEffective email marketing is impossible if the emails do not reach the intended inbox. Favour Obasi-ike highlights several critical technical aspects that directly impact deliverability and audience reception.Platform and Server IntegrityThe Importance of the ESP: The choice of Email Service Provider (ESP) is crucial. A key objective should be to use a platform with a high-quality server to achieve deliverability rates of at least 99.9%.Recommended Platform: Favour Obasi-ike is a partner with and recommends Flodesk, citing its simplicity, authenticity, credibility, and speed. Flodesk's partnership with Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) is noted as a significant benefit.DNS Authentication: Low email open rates can often be attributed to an incomplete Domain Name Server (DNS) authentication setup. Podcasters must ensure their DNS records are correctly configured to authenticate their sending domain, which helps prevent emails from being flagged as spam.Email Design, Formatting, and ComplianceReadability and Audience Awareness: Email formatting must be tailored to the target audience. For an audience aged 45 and up, a font size of at least 16 pixels is recommended to ensure legibility without requiring readers to "squint."Email Weight: Font size and image size contribute to the overall "weight" of an email. Large files can negatively impact deliverability. An image of 300x300 pixels is preferable to one that is 3,000x3,000 pixels for email content.Spam Score and Testing: Podcasters should proactively test their emails for potential issues. Favour Obasi-ike recommends using a free tool like Mail-tester.com to check for spam scores and compliance issues before sending a campaign. Registering with platforms like Postmaster Google is also advised.SEO and Multi-Platform DiscoverabilityOrganic growth is driven by discoverability. Favour Obasi-ike outlines a comprehensive SEO strategy that extends beyond the podcast itself to all associated digital assets.Keywords and Semantic SearchThe Power of Repetition: Consistently repeating a target key phrase (e.g., "email best practices") across all content formats significantly boosts search visibility. This includes the podcast audio (which becomes a transcript), episode titles, blog posts, video descriptions, image alt text, and the URL itself.Verbal SEO: Vocally stating and phonetically spelling out URLs (e.g., "p l a y i n c . o n l i n e") on the podcast is a critical practice. Modern transcription services can recognize these as links, making them clickable directly from the text version of the episode.Descriptive Titling: Podcast titles should be contextual and keyword-rich. A title like "The Sun Nutrition" is far more discoverable than a generic title like "The Sun Podcast" because it tells potential listeners exactly what the show is about.Social Media and Platform IntegrationUsername Optimization: Avoid using underscores in social media usernames (e.g., on Instagram). Favour Obasi-ike argues that underscores are not search-friendly, add unnecessary complexity for users typing the name, and conceptually place the user "under the line." A mashed-up name or a hyphen is preferable.LinkedIn RSS Feed Integration: A powerful and underutilized tactic is to connect a podcast's RSS feed directly to a LinkedIn company profile. This can be done in the company settings section and allows for the automatic distribution of new episodes onto the LinkedIn server, expanding reach.Advanced Growth Strategies and Data AnalysisBeyond the fundamentals, Favour Obasi-ike offers advanced tips for optimization and scaling based on data intelligence.Technical Standards and ValidationPodcast Artwork: The industry standard for podcast cover art and episode covers is a minimum of 3,000 by 3,000 pixels. Anything smaller may cause issues.Feed Validation: Podcasters can use free tools like Castfeedvalidator.com to perform an audit of their RSS feed and ensure it meets technical standards.Data-Driven DecisionsBrowser-Based Listening: It is a critical insight that a significant portion of the audience listens to podcasts on a web browser. With Google Chrome accounting for 72% of web browsers, this highlights the importance of a web-friendly presence and SEO within the Google ecosystem (Search, YouTube, Gmail).Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Read SEO Articles>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

Send us a textTrade shows can blur together—until they don't. Knoxville's Shed Expo and the post frame show in Dayton delivered a clear message: owners are hungry for practical marketing, respectful tech, and partners who actually solve the problems builders face every day. We came home with full notebooks, a heavier contacts list, and a sharper roadmap for how the shed and steel world can grow without losing its human core.We unpack what the Q&A revealed about the state of marketing: rising ad costs, vague targeting, and funnels clogged with unqualified clicks. Then we lay out a cleaner path—on-page SEO tuned to real buyer intent, location pages that mirror how you do business, and content that answers questions people actually ask about delivery, permitting, RTO, and warranties. You'll hear why this shift is winning for dealers and manufacturers who care about qualified leads over vanity metrics, and how to measure success in calls, quotes, configurator starts, and closed revenue rather than impressions.We also dig into tools that earned our trust. IdeaRoom's 3D engine continues to be a force multiplier for metal buildings and pole barns, turning visualization into confident quotes. Velocity 360 brings CRM workflows that fit how teams really sell. Shed Pro stands out for shed configurators that stay simple for customers. SmartBuild is pushing integrated back-end logic while partnering to improve front-end experiences. On RTO, we compare Heartland, Easy Pay, and Platinum and explain how fit varies by product and process. And yes, we celebrate the best booths, builds, and the legendary hat haul—because culture and community still matter when you're choosing who to bet on.If you want marketing that respects your values and tools that make your team faster without replacing them, this conversation is your field guide.

We are going pretty far back with today's pop culture classic! So far back but it's crazy to think that a new sequel actually just came out! That speaks to the staying power of this series. "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Rick Grimes and Michonne are reunited after years apart when Michonne finds him held captive by the Civil Republic Military (CRM). They face internal struggles and CRM threats, ultimately working together to expose the CRM's unethical and manipulative "reclamation" practices. After defeating the CRM, Rick and Michonne leave the Civic Republic and return to their children in Alexandria, finally reuniting as a family and achieving their goal of truly "living" rather than just surviving" I think we were both pleasantly surprised by how this series ended even though it probably means the end of the Rick and Michonne Era. Some may like that, but I personally am sad to see them go and would have loved to see more Rick Grimes. SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spotify | Pandora | RSS Tell us what you think!

  Summary In this conversation, Amas Tenumah and Bob Furniss discuss the evolution of contact centers, the impact of CRM systems like Salesforce, and the role of AI in enhancing agent performance. They reflect on the historical context of CRM, the challenges faced by agents, and the future of customer service technology, particularly focusing on the Agent Force initiative. The discussion also touches on the sentiment within the Salesforce community and the potential for new competitors in the market.   Takeaways Salesforce has become a dominant player in the CRM space.

Episode Overview: Is it the leads or the sales effort?Are you truly struggling with bad leads — or are those “bad” leads actually being lost somewhere in your sales process? In this episode, “Is It the Leads or the Sales Effort?”, we take a deep dive into one of the most overlooked factors limiting pest control companies: the ability to consistently convert leads into booked appointments. If your close rate seems stuck under 40%, this conversation will help you pinpoint why and what to do about it.We'll start by breaking down how a well-structured sales pipeline acts as a diagnostic tool — giving you visibility into every stage of the customer journey. From the moment a lead hits your CRM to the point they become a paying customer, the pipeline tells a story. We'll show you how to read that story and use it to identify where prospects are falling off and why.Next, we'll dive into the critical sales behaviors that have the biggest impact on conversions:Speed to Lead: Why responding within minutes is often the difference between booking the job and losing it to a competitor.Follow-Up Discipline: How consistent, structured follow-up can turn “not now” into “yes” — and why most companies stop too soon.Always Answering the Phone & Messages: Missed calls are missed revenue. We'll discuss systems and habits that ensure no opportunity slips by.Being Prepared for Customer Questions: Confidence and knowledge build trust. We'll explore how training and preparation improve conversion rates.Resolve and Booking on the Spot: Why every conversation should end with a next step — ideally, a scheduled appointment.Finally, we'll walk through how to analyze pipeline data stage by stage to see whether the issue is truly lead quality or a breakdown in your process:Low contact rates? It's likely a response-time or missed-call issue.Leads contacted but not booking inspections? Follow-up or scripting needs work.Inspections done but no proposals accepted? Your presentation or offer might need refining.By the end of this episode, you'll know how to look beyond the surface and uncover the real reasons your close rate is stalled. More importantly, you'll have a clear roadmap to tighten up your sales process, improve performance at every stage, and convert more of the leads you're already paying for.This isn't just about more leads — it's about making more of the ones you already have.Please review us at Rhino Pest Control Marketing and interact with us to let us know how we can improve in 2025.Casey Lewiscasey@rhinopros.com(925) 464-8383Follow and subscribe at the following links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a review on Google:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://g.page/r/CT9-E84ypVI0EBM/review⁠

What would change if you stopped chasing one off flips and rebuilt a real business that runs without you? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tiffany High. Tiffany lays out how she left a demanding corporate path to be present for family, stumbled into flipping, then scaled from 40 flips in year one to a virtual operation closing 20 plus deals a month. The turning point was tearing everything down in 90 days and rebuilding with systems, training, and leadership so the company could run without constant firefighting. She explains why newbies should start with wholesaling, how to use licensed inspections plus a GC to scope work, and why leverage and team building beat solo grind. The theme is simple. Real estate is copy and paste when you install infrastructure and remove limiting beliefs.

The gap between average salespeople and elite performers lies in process. While most reps chase quick wins and hope something sticks, top producers follow proven sales strategies that consistently deliver results. They've mastered the fundamentals that turn prospects into customers and customers into advocates. If you're ready to finish the year strong and blow past your quota, these five battle-tested sales strategies from previous podcasts will transform how you sell. 1. Deliver an Unforgettable Customer Experience by Mastering Your Emotions Your prospect doesn't care about your bad morning or the three deals that fell through yesterday. When you walk through the door or dial their number, you're the only conversation they're having with your company today. Elite salespeople know emotional consistency separates closers from pretenders. Think of it like a pro golfer staying calm and cruising forward regardless of what happened on the last hole. As Jeb Blount explains: How your customer feels about you is more predictive of outcome than any other variable. They buy you first, and then they buy your product. They buy you because they feel safe, heard, and confident you will deliver. This means you have to compartmentalize every interaction. Your fifth appointment of the day deserves the same intensity and professionalism as your first. When you show up desperate, prospects sense it immediately. When you rush through discovery, they feel undervalued. Jeb emphasizes this critical point: Buying a house, car, or service is deeply emotional for the customer. Before every interaction, take sixty seconds to reset. Acknowledge whatever is bothering you, mentally file it away, then walk in focused entirely on their world and their goals. 2. Commit to the Day One Follow-Up Mindset Ask yourself: How many times do you attempt to reach a prospect before quitting? If you answered three or four, you are leaving money on the table. Most reps quit after just three or four attempts, and sometimes without ever hearing a ‘No.' They just stop and let leads rot in the CRM instead of risking rejection. As Jessica Stokes reminds us, top producers understand this: While you are tracking your sixth or seventh outreach attempt, for the prospect, every touchpoint feels like day one. They are busy running their business—not waiting for your call. The problem is not just the number of attempts; it is the spacing. When you leave a voicemail and wait a month to "give them space," you lose momentum and start from scratch every time. The winning sales strategy is persistence with velocity. That means touching base every few days or weekly. When you maintain momentum, prospects remember you. The real failure is letting quality leads die because you are afraid to pick up the phone and risk hearing "No." 3. Turn Your Empathy Into a Weapon, Not a Weakness If you have ever hesitated before making a cold call because you thought, "I don't want to bother them," you are dealing with what Jeb Blount calls projection, and it is costing you deals. Projection happens when you assume prospects hate being interrupted as much as you do. You start deciding for them before you've even made the call. Successful salespeople recognize interruption is a professional necessity. Your job requires it; your income depends on it. Letting empathy paralyze your prospecting is dangerous. The internal conflict is real: You want to be an empathetic person, but you also have to be an interrupter. The mindset shift: Understand that projecting is the most dangerous thing in sales because you are deciding for your customer in advance what they want or need. Real empathy means showing up, asking sharp questions, and letting them tell you what they need. You cannot solve problems you never discover because you were too afraid to start the conversation. 4. Build a Velvet Rope Around Your Business What if your clients felt less like transactions and ...
