Podcasts about revenue generation

When revenue goals aren't being met, it's natural to look at pricing. Should tickets cost more? How high is too high? Should we discount more often? Are ticket prices driving audiences away?   But what if price isn't the place to start? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on demand, we step back to explore one of the most important questions facing arts organizations today: What actually drives demand? Join the TRG team as they examine the difference between demand and pricing, challenge some common assumptions about audience behavior, and discuss why organizations often spend too much time focused on ticket prices and not enough time understanding what makes people want to attend in the first place. Along the way, you'll hear practical insights about audience perception, the role of value and relevance, and why strong demand is built long before someone reaches the purchase page. This episode lays the foundation for the conversation ahead. Before organizations can influence demand, they need to understand how it works, what shapes it, and why it plays such a critical role in long-term revenue growth. In Part 2, we'll take the next step, exploring how organizations can identify demand signals, evaluate performance throughout the sales cycle, and make more intentional decisions about pricing, pacing, and revenue strategy. Key Takeaways: • Why demand and pricing are not the same thing, and why the distinction matters. • How audience interest, perception, and relevance influence attendance long before price enters the conversation. • Why pricing often responds to demand rather than creating it. • The role audience behavior plays in shaping revenue outcomes. • How perceptions of value and success influence purchasing decisions. • Why discounting isn't always the answer to revenue challenges. • What arts leaders should understand about demand before making pricing decisions. • The foundation organizations need in place before they can actively manage and influence demand.

Most arts organizations can tell you their revenue targets. Fewer can clearly identify the relationships that will deliver them. As financial pressure continues across the sector, many organizations focus on short-term income. But as this episode explores, revenue doesn't happen in isolation. It's built through strengthening audience relationships over time. This conversation introduces TRG's core relationship framework: Tryers, Buyers, and Advocates. It explores how organizations can better understand the behaviors already inside their CRM systems and use those insights to build stronger loyalty and more sustainable revenue. The TRG team also introduces four strategic focus areas that shape the season ahead: Recency, Demand, People, and Discipline — practical ways organizations can strengthen audience engagement and improve long-term financial stability. At the center of the conversation is a simple idea: organizations that focus intentionally on relationships are better positioned to navigate uncertainty, grow loyalty, and build sustainable revenue. Key Takeaways to Put Into Action: Revenue is built through relationships: Tickets, donations, memberships and subscriptions are outcomes of audience behavior over time. Your future revenue is rooted in past behavior: The people most likely to return may already be in your database. Not all relationships need the same approach: Tryers, Buyers, and Advocates each require different strategies and levels of investment. Frequency starts with recency: The sooner audiences re-engage, the more sustainable loyalty becomes. People-based planning creates clarity: Understanding audience behavior helps organizations forecast more accurately and prioritize resources more effectively. Discipline drives results: Sustainable growth requires consistent focus, accountability, and action.

Arts leaders are under increasing pressure: financial, operational, and cultural. So, what does it look like to respond differently? In this bonus episode of Leading the Way, Jill Robinson speaks with Christina Littlejohn, CEO of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, about choosing growth when contraction might seem like the safer option. Facing a significant financial gap, Christina made a deliberate decision to invest in audiences, accessibility, and experience rather than scale back. That choice helped build momentum, expand audiences, increase revenue, and strengthen long-term sustainability.  At the center of the conversation is a clear idea: What happens inside the concert hall drives everything else. From fuller feeling houses to stronger donor confidence, Christina shares how audience experience, frequency, and belonging connect directly to revenue and philanthropy.  The episode also explores: Why an abundance mindset matters in moments of pressure  How membership and accessibility increase engagement and loyalty  The role of data, pricing, and segmentation in shaping behavior  Why investing in teams and skills is critical to execution  This is a practical example of entrepreneurial leadership in action where consistent, people-focused decisions compound over time to change outcomes.

Send a question or message to Kate & SamWelcome to Episode 5 of the Roadmap to Business Success series, and the final episode of Quadrant 1: Revenue Generation!If the word "selling" makes you cringe, you're not alone. In this episode, Kate and Sam get honest about their complicated relationships with sales and how reframing selling as serving completely changes the game."People don't mind being sold to, they just don't like being sold to poorly."In this episode, you'll learn:Why selling is actually serving: How shifting your mindset from "closing a deal" to "solving a problem" transforms every sales conversation — and why curiosity is the only attitude you need to bring.Emotional intelligence in sales: Why active listening and reading the room matters far more than any sales tactic or script.Why non-attachment is your secret weapon: The less attached you are to the outcome, the more people want to work with you.How your foundations do the heavy lifting: When your identity, offer and marketing are aligned, sales becomes a natural conversation. Low conversion rates are feedback that something earlier in the process needs attention.The golden rule: Follow up. Why so many sales are lost simply because people don't follow up, and why you should always leave a voicemail.How to handle ghosting and "no" professionally: Why your reaction to rejection tells potential clients more about your character than almost anything else.The power of post-purchase nurturing: Why what happens immediately after someone pays you is just as important as everything that came before.Retention over acquisition: Why a repeat customer is far more profitable than constantly winning new ones.This episode wraps up Quadrant 1: Revenue Generation. Next up, we'll be entering Quadrant 2 of the Thriving Business Wheel: Keep More | Profitability.JOIN OUR UPCOMING WORKSHOPS and get all your questions answered LIVE

Send a question or message to Kate & Sam"Marketing is the communication bridge between your business and your potential customers."In this fourth episode of the Roadmap to Business Success series, hosts Kate and Sam explore the next layer in the Revenue Generation quadrant of the Thriving Business Wheel: Marketing Strategy. Now that you've nailed your business identity and crafted your irresistible offer, it's time to take it to market. But marketing is one of the most misunderstood, and misused, areas of business. In this episode, Kate and Sam cut through the noise and give you a practical, grounded framework for marketing your business without burning out or burning through your budget.In this episode, you will learn:Why foundations come first: If you haven't nailed your business identity and your irresistible offer, your marketing will struggle, no matter how much you spend. Kate shares the story of a client who spent $60,000 on a failed marketing campaign without a single sale, and exactly what went wrong.The three channels of marketing: Traditional (TV, print, letterbox drops), relational (networking, referrals, strategic partnerships), and digital (social media, SEO, email), and why you should never rely on just one.The truth about social media: Why organic social media posting builds visibility and brand awareness but rarely converts to sales on its own, and what to do instead.How to choose the right platform for your business: LinkedIn for B2B and professional services, Instagram for visual brands, Facebook for community-based businesses, and TikTok for reaching younger audiences. Sam shares a practical tip: start with the platforms you already use and understand.Inbound vs outbound marketing: The difference between pushing your message out (social media, ads) and drawing customers in (SEO, Google Business Profile, AI search), and why both matter.Getting found by AI: Why SEO is still the foundation of AI search, and how Sam's brand-new business was recommended by AI simply by being specific and optimising the basics.The power of email marketing: Why the money is still in the list, why you own your email list in a way you'll never own your social media following, and how to build a list that actually converts.Lead magnets and list building: How a free quiz, ebook or guide can bring in new subscribers consistently, even years after you create it.Email open rates and list hygiene: What good open rates look like, when to clean your list, and why you should never be offended by an unsubscribe.Sam's closing framework: Why marketing must be a multi-pronged approach. Choose one channel from each of the three categories and build from there.Kate and Sam also discuss the rapidly changing landscape of AI search, why "AI junk" is flooding social media and how to stand out, and why just having the tools (AI, Canva) doesn't mean you know how to use them effectively.Join the Workshop: Kate and Sam are hosting their Revenue Breakthrough Workshop on Wednesday 15 April — a live Zoom session where you cConnect with Your Hosts:Kate De Jong, PhD | Inspired Business

In this third episode of the Roadmap to Business Success series, hosts Kate and Sam explore the second part of the revenue quadrant: how to craft an irresistible offer. Described as the "engine" of your revenue generation model, an irresistible offer is about providing a compelling solution to a problem that people feel compelled to say "yes" to.In this episode, you will learn:Market validation vs. market research: Why you must ensure the market will actually buy what you have to sell before investing hundreds of hours into development.The Power of Specificity: Why your offer must solve a very specific problem for a very specific person to be effective.Selling the Transformation: Shifting your focus from "what you do" to the result the client achieves at the end of the process.Establishing Bulletproof Credibility: How to use social proof, Google reviews, and even "borrowed credibility" from mentors to build trust with skeptical buyers.Pricing for Value, Not Time: Why slashing prices is often the wrong move and how to price based on the emotional and financial value of the outcome.Risk Reversal: Using guarantees to shift the responsibility from the customer to the business owner, making the purchase a "no-brainer".Productisation and the Rule of Three: How to bundle services into three tiers to suit different needs and budgets without causing "choice paralysis".Genuine Scarcity and Urgency: How to use limited numbers or real deadlines to motivate potential clients to act now.Kate and Sam also share their philosophy of "selling before you build," explaining how delivering a service as you develop it allows for vital market feedback and prevents the heartbreak of a "flat" launch.Join the Workshop: If you need expert eyes on your offer, Kate and Sam are hosting a workshop on the 15th of April to help you tweak and optimise your strategy for maximum impact.Next Week: Tune in for the next episode where the discussion moves to taking your offer to market and the mechanics of marketing and sales.Connect with Your Hosts:Kate De Jong, PhD | Inspired Business

Why Adaptability, Relationships, and People Will Define the Next Era of Arts Leadership Arts leaders today are navigating constant disruption. Economic pressure, rapid technological change, and shifting audience behavior have made the environment far more complex than the one many arts organizations were originally built for. Many institutions are still operating on 20th-century funding models while facing 21st-century realities.  So the question becomes: what distinguishes organizations that adapt and grow from those that struggle? This episode explores the leadership mindset behind resilient organizations. The leaders who are thriving aren't waiting for stability to return. They use disruption as a signal to examine the cracks in their foundation (from programming and technology to staffing models and audience relationships) and they invest intentionally to strengthen those areas.  The conversation highlights three core ideas: Entrepreneurial agility is no longer optional. The sector has experienced continuous change, from digital transformation to the pandemic, and leaders must keep learning, testing, and adjusting. People are the most controllable driver of sustainability. Organizations cannot control government funding or macroeconomic conditions, but they can invest in relationships with audiences, donors, and staff.  Discipline turns strategy into results. The organizations emerging stronger are the ones that align teams, act on data, and consistently execute their plans. Leadership today requires more than operational management. It requires curiosity, courage, and the willingness to rethink long-standing assumptions about how arts organizations operate.

In this episode of Bleav in Buckeyes, hosts Bryant Browning and Chimdi Chekwa break down the future of the College Football Playoff and why expansion could reshape the sport. From scheduling strategy and strength of schedule to Alabama stepping away from the Ohio State matchup and the impact on player safety, the guys explore what a larger CFP field means for the Buckeyes, the Big Ten, and the national championship race. Is playoff expansion good for college football or does it change what makes the regular season special? If you're an Ohio State fan or care about the future of the College Football Playoff, this episode is a must-listen. Takeaways Alabama's withdrawal from future matchups is seen as them avoiding tough competition. The significance of out-of-conference games is diminishing due to playoff implications. Teams are cautious about scheduling tough opponents early in the season. The expansion of the playoffs could lead to more meaningful games. Conference championship games may need to be re-evaluated in the context of playoffs. Player safety and health insurance are critical issues in college football. The financial implications of playoff expansion are significant for schools and conferences. The hosts advocate for more on-campus games to enhance fan engagement.

Most arts organizations can tell you their revenue targets. Fewer can name the segments, behaviors and people that will actually deliver them.When financial pressure rises, leaders default to revenue buckets: tickets, subscriptions, donations. But as this episode makes clear, those buckets don't buy tickets. People do.This conversation reframes budgeting through a People lens. Revenue is not a line item. It's the outcome of relationships, shaped by segments including recency, frequency, and behavior over time. When you shift from revenue-based planning to relationship-based planning, you gain clarity: where growth is possible, where risk is hiding, and what must change to hit your goals.We explore why annual planning often falls short, how multi-year pipeline thinking changes investment decisions, and what it really means to hold teams accountable for relationship metrics, not just financial outcomes. This episode challenges leaders to move beyond hopeful projections and toward people-driven strategy, so financial plans become proactive, measurable, and sustainable. Key Takeaways to Put Into Action:Revenue goals are made of relationships: If you can't name the segments and behaviours driving your target, you're probably guessing.You inherit your pipeline, you don't invent it: Short-term targets are shaped by years of past behavior. Budgeting must reflect that reality.Segmentation is a leadership tool, not just a marketing tactic: New, active, lapsed, multi-buyers - each requires different investment decisions.Multi-year planning reduces risk: Annual planning without pipeline metrics creates financial blind spots .Accountability must connect to ‘people metrics': Clear ownership of relationship-driven KPIs makes growth achievable, and shared across teams .

Why Experience, Access, and Perception Drive Audience Behavior  When demand for performances softens or fluctuates, the pressure inside arts organizations intensifies. Leaders feel it in budgets, board conversations, staff morale, and the constant urge to “do something” to influence sales. Too often, that something is discounting, comping, or quietly pulling back on the audience experience.This episode challenges that reflex, and re-frames demand not as something organizations either “have” or “don't,” but as something leaders can actively manage through experience, access, and perception. Demand is rarely at the extremes. Most organizations live in the middle, where leadership decisions matter most.We explore how common tactics used to “dress the house” can create long-term consequences: weaker loyalty, diluted pricing power, reduced frequency, and internal misalignment. Rather than chasing sell-outs or using price as a shortcut, this conversation invites leaders to protect the real value of the work by managing access, signaling success, and prioritizing experience so today's decisions strengthen relationships instead of quietly working against them.Key Takeaways to Put Into Action:Demand is something to manage, not wait for: Most organizations already have demand. The question is how leadership decisions shape it over time.Experience matters most when demand feels soft: Pulling back on hospitality and energy sends powerful signals to your most loyal audiences.Access shapes perception before price does: Scale plans, seat availability, and early access influence how audiences interpret value.Comps are currency, not filler: Unmanaged complimentary tickets quietly undermine perceived demand and future behavior.Success is more than a sell-out: Protecting perception and experience builds loyalty, frequency, and long-term revenue.For more insights, past episodes, and to sign up for our newsletter, visit trgarts.com/leadingtheway Contact Info:  Email letstalk@trgarts.com

In the arts world, success isn't just about bringing in new people; it's about building long-lasting relationships with the ones you already have. The key to sustainability lies not in finding more first-time visitors, but in building strategies to inspire your existing audience to return again and again (and again).This episode explores why frequency, or deepening the rate at which customers come back, is the most powerful strategy for arts organizations.Key Takeaways to Put Into Action:Are Subscriptions Really Dead? No, but the mindset is. Subscriptions, memberships, CYOs and flex passes all still work when they're tools for one thing: driving frequency.Prioritize Returning Patrons: Focus on retaining loyal patrons, as they are your most reliable source of long-term success.Recency Leads to Frequency: Get people back sooner; it's the first step toward loyalty and one of the simplest, most powerful growth levers you have.Build Recurring Revenue: Prioritize audience return rates to create steady, repeatable revenue instead of relying on occasional sales.Organizational Alignment Drives Growth: Align marketing, development, and box office teams to create a unified strategy that nurtures long-term engagement.For more insights, past episodes, and to sign up for our newsletter, visit trgarts.com/leadingtheway Contact Info:  Email letstalk@trgarts.com

In this episode of The Revenue Builders Podcast hosted by John McMahon and John Kaplan, Chris Reising, a five-time Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) with extensive experience in scaling sales at early-stage tech companies, shares invaluable insights into the challenges and strategies involved in scaling sales functions for startups. From finding product-market fit to hiring the right sales reps and understanding the importance of pain points, this conversation provides a comprehensive guide for entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:01:17] In the early stages of a startup, you must wear multiple hats, including being a product manager and a sales professional. Understanding the ICP and gathering customer insights are crucial.[00:02:31] The early days of a startup involve learning every day, attending sales meetings, understanding objections, and identifying the value your technology brings. Effective communication with the product team is key.[00:04:05] Investor relations play a significant role. Early-stage investors look for different data points, and their feedback can be invaluable in understanding market signals.[00:06:11] The importance of prioritizing technology components based on customer pain points and the potential to generate immediate revenue.[00:07:44] Recognizing a recurring pattern in sales discussions where customers react positively to specific functionalities is a sign of repeatability and scalability.[00:09:05] Founders who want to remain deeply involved in the sales process need guidance on when to step back. It's a common challenge in early-stage startups.[00:12:42] Breaking down a grand vision into bite-sized chunks of value that address specific business problems is crucial for achieving repeatability and market success.[00:13:30] Expanding the vision is essential but keeping the framework simple enough for the market and sales team to understand and execute is key to early-stage success.[00:13:50] The importance of focusing sales efforts on the most productive areas and avoiding the mistake of spreading sales teams too thin.HIGHLIGHT QUOTES[00:06:56] "When you start to recognize a recurring pattern...you start to say, 'Now I have some sense of repeatability,' and that's really important."[00:10:08] "There's a huge difference between a first and second-time founder...you need to help them understand that stepping away is an important part of growing the business."[00:13:01] "Recognize you've got to break that big vision down into bite-sized chunks that can be digested by your go-to-market team and by the market, by customers."[00:13:30] "Where are we going to place our salespeople?

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I dive into how to turn restaurant events into true profit centers instead of simple marketing stunts. I explain why events should be treated as products with clear margins and measurable results, and how that mindset shift can transform your bottom line. I walk through the systems I use to plan, price, and evaluate events so they drive both revenue and brand loyalty.  TakeawaysEvents should make money twice: at the ticket sale and through repeat customers.A great event is a product with a defined cost and profit margin.Hope is not a strategy; measurement is essential for success.Predictability in events leads to increased profitability.Full rooms do not guarantee profit; focus on fat margins instead.Every event should have a clear conversion goal.Delete 'awareness' from marketing vocabulary; prioritize revenue.Audit past events to understand profitability.Create a 12-month event calendar with repeatable, profitable events.Reprice events for margin, not just fill rate.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Marketing Strategies01:50 Transforming Events into Profit Centers05:44 Actionable Steps for Event ProfitabilityIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

Arts and cultural organizations have more data than ever before, yet many leaders still struggle to know what to measure… or how to act on it. Too often, we drown in reports, track numbers no one uses, or rely on anecdote instead of evidence. The result? Decisions shaped by habit, instinct, or overload rather than clarity. In this episode, we explore the six must-know audience and revenue metrics that truly matter. Along the way, we unpack why culture and leadership, not technology, is the real barrier to data-driven decision making, why comps don't build future audiences, and how inflation is quietly eroding per-ticket revenue. This is a call to stop chasing every data point and instead build a culture where focused, actionable metrics drive your strategy. When organizations simplify and align around the right numbers, they can sharpen campaigns, retain more audiences, and grow sustainable revenue. Key takeaways you can act on: Stop drowning in numbers: Most sales reports don't matter. Focus on the few metrics that actually impact outcomes.  See the full picture: New, loyal, and lapsed buyers behave differently; if you're not tracking them separately, you're probably still guessing.  Retention is everything: New audiences are vital, but they only deliver long-term value if they return. Without retention, acquisition spend is wasted.  Units matter as much as money: Raising prices can make the numbers look good while audiences slip away. Headline revenue isn't the same as real success. Measure what matters: Conversion and response rates aren't glamorous, but without them you'll never know if campaigns are really working.  Smart spending fuels growth: It costs money to win and keep audiences. Treat it as investment; cut it, and you put your future at risk.

There's a powerful connection between physical fitness and professional sales success. Bob Woods, a leading LinkedIn and social selling strategist, best-selling author, and Chief Product Officer at Social Sales Link, shares how fitness energizes and builds resilience—key ingredients that help sales professionals shine in their roles. From his personal journey of losing 120 pounds to the daily habits that keep him sharp, Bob offers practical strategies and real-world examples of how movement, sleep, and consistency fuel both business achievements and personal health. Whether it's treating workouts like crucial business meetings, overcoming the “no time” mindset, or learning the cognitive benefits of activities like pickleball, Bob's insights will inspire you to make small, sustainable changes that drive big results—both in your career and your well-being.  Outline of This Episode [00:00] Boost your energy and build resilience. [04:31] Fitness helps you stay focused under pressure. [06:09] Movement resets both mind and body. [08:24] Exercise is stress relief and motivation in all areas of life. [10:08] Three key ways to jumpstart your wellbeing as a sales professional.  [14:52] Prioritize fitness like you do your meetings. [16:28] Never separate health from work. Because your performance at work depends on your health. Why Fitness Is the Foundation of Sales Success What if the secret weapon to crushing your sales quota lies not just in scripts or CRM hacks, but in your next workout? Bob Woods makes a compelling case that fitness is far from a personal luxury—it's an absolute business necessity. Strength, he explains, goes beyond muscle—when you feel physically strong, you step into sales conversations with more confidence, show up stronger in meetings, and deliver higher-impact presentations. Business and fitness parallel each other: both require discipline, consistency, and progress through small, incremental actions that stack up to big wins over time. In short, physical fitness is not just a side hustle to your career; it's the keystone in your professional foundation. Habits That Supercharge Sales Performance What fitness practices actually boost daily energy and focus? Bob breaks down his top three: 1. Daily Movement Beyond gym sessions, Bob integrates rucking (walking with a weighted backpack) and pickleball into his routine. He's quick to add that even walking is a powerhouse habit when it comes to recharging mentally and physically. “Movement resets both mind and body,” he explains, underscoring that you don't need to run marathons to reap benefits. 2. Sleep and Hydration Often overlooked, Bob insists these basics are non-negotiable performance hacks. Quality sleep and staying hydrated fuel brainpower, motivation, and stamina—a trio every sales pro needs. 3. Block It Like a Business Meeting Bob's most actionable advice is to schedule workouts on your calendar as immutable appointments, just like you would a client call. Treat fitness as a non-negotiable business meeting, and communicate its importance to colleagues so others respect your boundaries. Stress Management, Motivation, and High-Level Performance Salespeople often grapple with intense stress, wavering motivation, and burnout. Exercise, Bob says, is a “pressure valve”—it physically releases tension and sparks endorphins, making you more resilient under high stakes. Consistency in fitness breeds momentum and motivation, which naturally overflow into your work. Bob's rule of thumb: “Without health, motivation is just willpower, and willpower alone eventually runs out.” Overcoming Common Challenges What holds sales professionals back from adopting healthier lifestyles? Bob identifies the three biggest pitfalls: "No Time" Mindset: The belief that there's no time for fitness is a myth. Start small, even with daily five-minute walks or minor dietary tweaks. All-or-Nothing Thinking: You don't need 90-minute workouts. Small, consistent efforts outperform sporadic heroic doses. Quick Fix Obsession: Ignore fad diets and fitness gadgets bombarding your social feeds. Stick to fundamentals and stay consistent for real, lasting change. Recognizing and Countering Burnout How do you spot the signs of burnout—like low energy, irritability, and declining performance—and what can you do? Bob's honest answer: take stock, admit the problem, and make incremental changes. Prioritize sleep, incorporate daily movement, and mind your nutrition and alcohol intake (especially if you live in bourbon country, like Bob!). Bob's story is powerful—he's lost 120 pounds over several years, a journey that radically transformed his business confidence and ability to show up for clients and colleagues. His improved fitness has scaled his professional performance while protecting him from burnout. Never separate health from work. Your job success is inextricably linked to your wellbeing—so treat your next walk or workout with the same gravity as a deal-closing call. Whether you're new to fitness or looking to level up, start with small, consistent actions and watch the professional results roll in.

Pricing isn't just a box office task. It's one of the most strategic levers arts organizations have. Yet too often, pricing is treated as an emotional, reactive decision; or worse, an afterthought. In this episode, we unpack why the sector has fallen behind inflation, why the fear of raising prices lingers, and how strategic pricing can reshape both revenue resilience and accessibility. From pandemic-era hesitancy to the misconception that lowering price drives demand, we explore why pricing belongs at the leadership table and what it looks like when data (not gut instinct) drives decisions. This is a call for leaders to move beyond set-it-and-forget-it pricing and instead adopt a discipline of monitoring, testing, and adapting. When pricing is managed strategically, organizations don't just cover costs; they build relationships and grow loyalty and sustainable income. Key takeaways you can act on: Pricing is leadership work: The most important financial lever shouldn't be left to siloed decision-making. Fear is costing you revenue: Incremental price adjustments prevent the “catch-up sting” of years of inaction. Demand drives price (not the other way around): Price changes don't create demand; they should respond to it. When seats aren't selling, the challenge is awareness and value perception, not the cost of the ticket. Accessibility and revenue can coexist: Strategic scaling allows organizations to expand affordable access while strengthening income. Dynamic pricing is about nuance: It means responding to demand in both directions: raising or lowering when data shows it matters. Stop measuring success by sellouts: Optimize per-ticket revenue and define success by patron behavior, not full houses. For more insights, past episodes, and to sign up for our newsletter, visit trgarts.com/leadingtheway  Contact Info:   Email letstalk@trgarts.com

Learn how to scale beyond seven figures using podcast-driven growth Everyone's chasing the latest marketing tricks while I've been watching smart business owners quietly use one simple strategy to close huge deals. In this episode, I sit down with Tom Hunt to share the truth about B2B podcasting that most people get wrong. We talk about how his 11th podcast guest became a $2M client before the episode even went live, why 97% of your prospects aren't ready to buy right now, and the 7-hour rule that can cut your sales time in half. This isn't about making content - it's about making money. Tom Hunt runs Fame, the B2B podcast company that helps businesses like Gong, Canva, Paddle, and Zendesk grow behind the scenes. He found this secret while working in marketing and turned it into a simple system that turns every podcast recording into a sales meeting. What I love about Tom is he doesn't just talk about making money from podcasts - he shows you exactly how to turn your show into a machine that brings in clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The real money in B2B podcasting comes from your guests becoming customers, not from building a huge audience of listeners. You can get ROI from podcasting in the short term by inviting potential customers and partners as guests on your show. 97% of your market isn't ready to buy right now, so you need a strategy to capture them when they are ready to purchase. Consumption drives conversion - prospects who consume 7+ hours of your content are much more likely to buy from you. One podcast episode can create weeks of content across social media, email, and other marketing channels. B2B podcasting is the hardest content to grow but the most valuable because you get 30-60 minutes of someone's undivided attention. Before you focus on getting more leads, fix your customer retention first because keeping clients is the foundation of growth. The best podcast positioning combines a clear niche (who you serve) with a unique edge (what makes you different from everyone else). Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Send us a textEver find yourself dreaming big about your sales goals, but those dreams feel more like a fantasy than a plan? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott tackle a crucial distinction that separates successful sales pros from those perpetually chasing rainbows: the difference between a pipeline and a pipedream.We dive into what makes a pipedream – those exciting, often unrealistic aspirations that live only in your head. While creativity and big thinking are great, a pipedream, by definition, isn't written down, isn't grounded in reality, and often leads to disappointment rather than achievement.Then, we introduce the power of the pipeline – your tangible, realistic, and written blueprint for the future of your business. Mike and Scott break down why your pipeline isn't just a list of opportunities; it's a living document that controls the future of your business. They emphasize that if you dread certain aspects of your work, you have the power to curate your pipeline to avoid those very things, ensuring you're building a future you're excited about.Discover how a truly solid, well-defined pipeline directly translates into increased confidence and greater fluidity in your sales process. When your goals are clearly articulated and genuinely achievable, you'll approach every interaction with more conviction and adaptability.Tune in as Mike and Scott share their signature blend of hard-hitting sales wisdom and engaging banter, helping you ditch the pipedreams and start building a robust, realistic, and profitable pipeline that empowers you to control your destiny in sales.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

From finding product-market fit to hiring the right sales reps and understanding the importance of pain points, this conversation provides a comprehensive guide for entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:01:17] In the early stages of a startup, you must wear multiple hats, including being a product manager and a sales professional. Understanding the ICP and gathering customer insights are crucial.[00:02:31] The early days of a startup involve learning every day, attending sales meetings, understanding objections, and identifying the value your technology brings. Effective communication with the product team is key.[00:04:05] Investor relations play a significant role. Early-stage investors look for different data points, and their feedback can be invaluable in understanding market signals.[00:06:11] The importance of prioritizing technology components based on customer pain points and the potential to generate immediate revenue.[00:07:44] Recognizing a recurring pattern in sales discussions where customers react positively to specific functionalities is a sign of repeatability and scalability.[00:09:05] Founders who want to remain deeply involved in the sales process need guidance on when to step back.
