Podcasts about sells

This summer, we're replaying some of the most useful episodes from the StoryBrand Podcast — episodes that can help you clarify your message so your marketing can actually drive sales.   Most taglines don't work. They sound clever, but when customers see them, nothing happens. No interest, no sales, just crickets. That's because most taglines are vague, confusing, or forgettable. And when people have to burn mental calories trying to figure out what your business actually does, they'll just move on to the next option. If your tagline isn't clearly offering something your customer wants, it's not helping you. It's costing you. So how do you make sure your tagline actually drives results?   In this replay host Donald Miller and and former host Kyle Reed break down why most taglines fail and reveal the simple formula that makes a tagline work. You'll hear real-time critiques of famous (and not-so-famous) taglines, learn how to avoid common mistakes, and get insider tips on crafting a line that actually grows your business. If you're reworking your own tagline or helping clients with theirs, this episode will give you a practical filter for turning words into revenue.   Ready to clarify your message and grow your business?   Attend StoryBrand Your Business LIVE to learn how to explain what you do in a way customers instantly understand: https://storybrand.com/live/?utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=sbyourbusiness&utm_term=sbpod&utm_content=SB_workshop    Visit StoryBrand.com for business training, messaging tools, and resources to help you grow: https://storybrand.com/?utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=storybrand&utm_term=sbpod&utm_content=SB_home    Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/storybrand   Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/storybrand

In this episode of Published and Paid®: The Podcast, Jasmine Womack shares what it really takes to write a thought-leadership book that sells and supports a business.Note: This episode is being reuploaded from the Published and Paid podcast archives.A powerful book is not just a passion project. For coaches, consultants, speakers, and experts, a book should be created with a clear strategy, a strong framework, and a purpose beyond book sales. Jasmine explains why strong writing alone is not enough and why positioning, marketing, and monetization must be considered before the first chapter is written.This episode is for experts who want to turn their expertise, experience, and personal story into a book that establishes authority, supports speaking opportunities, strengthens coaching or consulting offers, and creates a pathway for business growth.Jasmine breaks down how to start with the end in mind, use storytelling strategically, build a signature framework, create a monetization plan, and begin creating demand before the book is released.In This Episode, The Blueprint to Writing a Thought Leadership Book That Sells: Viewers Will Learn:→ Why a book should be written with a clear business goal in mind→ How to turn expertise and experience into a profitable thought-leadership book→ Why good writing alone does not guarantee book sales or business growth→ How storytelling should support the reader's transformation→ Why a signature framework is essential for expert positioning→ How a book can support speaking, coaching, consulting, and digital product offers→ Why authors should think beyond book sales and create a monetization plan→ How to build interest and demand before the book is releasedKey Takeaways:A thought-leadership book should begin with the end in mind. Before writing, experts should know what they want the book to do for the reader and for the business.Strong writing matters, but strategy matters too. Marketing, positioning, and offer alignment can determine whether a book creates real business opportunities.Personal stories should support the transformation. The story should help teach, guide, and lead the reader toward a meaningful result.A signature framework gives the book structure. It can also become the foundation for coaching offers, consulting services, speaking topics, and digital products.Book sales are only one part of the opportunity. A strong monetization plan can help a book support visibility, authority, clients, and long-term business growth.Notable Quotes from Jasmine:“Nobody cares about your book as much as you do. They care about how it helps them.”“You're not writing a memoir. You're creating a movement.”“Your personal story should support the transformation, not take the spotlight.”“If you don't have a monetization plan, your book becomes a missed opportunity.”• Join - A 5-Day Live (Virtual) Training to Help Experts Turn Their Book Into Coaching, Speaking, Consulting, and Event Profits: → https://www.jasminewomack.com/monetize • Interested in working with us?

Vice President JD Vance says there is "very good" progress in Switzerland  with Iran negotiations. He says Iran is agreeing to allow nuclear inspectors back into the country following initial negotiations . Was he sitting at the same table as Iran's negotiators? Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says nope, there  are no "plans for IAEA inspections" of nuclear sites,  Iran maintains the Strait of Hormuz will "never return to its pre-war conditions" and that Iran will maintain control of the vital waterway. Vance painted a positive picture with a new communication line established between negotiators to prevent incidents and ensure safe commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the U.S., Iran, and Lebanon are creating a "deconfliction cell" to enforce the agreed ceasefire across all fronts. If negotiations are going so well, why is the Pentagon seeking roughly $80 billion to cover costs of the U.S. war against Iran? It's part of a massive $1.5 trillion military budget proposal. However, lawmakers are expressing skepticism about Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran and hesitation over increased Pentagon funding amid rising costs of living for Americans. On the matter of the botched renovation of the reflecting pool, journalists pushed President Trump for proof after he claimed a very long slit was made in the paint at the bottom of the reflecting pool. There's no evidence to back up those claims, but Trump seems to be laying the blame squarely on vandalism as the pool now has to be re-emptied and repaired.We put it all to David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist, from Iran to the mishaps on the national mall. Plus, entertainment reporter Lisa Joyner will join  us to talk about Hollywood,  podcasting  and  her love of animals.The Mark Thompson Show 6/23/26Today's Guests LinksLisa Joyner https://www.youtube.com/@PlusOnewithLisaandMorganProf. David Cay Johnston at RIT, Pulitzer Prize winning Author & Investigative Journalist  https://bsky.app/profile/davidcayjohnston.bsky.socialPatreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Welcome To The Real Oshow,0:00 Intro1:00 Breaking Down Rod Wave Don't Look Down Trailer3:45 Drake Sells OVO to Authentic Brands Group7:40 Strauss Zelnick Talks Biggest Risks With GTA 610:30 Hidden Business Behind Historic Sports Moments 13:00 Closing Thoughts Rod Wave is preparing for one of the biggest transitions of his career.With his seventh studio album Don't Look Down scheduled for release on August 28, 2026, Rod Wave is set to fulfill the final project on his current deal and enter a new era as an independent artist. We break down how he quietly built the infrastructure to make that possible, including launching his own touring company and taking control of his merchandise business. The results are staggering: what reportedly generated around $200,000 annually under traditional arrangements now brings in roughly $20 million per year through his independent operation.We also dive into the reported sale of 50% of Drake's OVO brand to Authentic Brands Group. While the deal has not been officially finalized, reports suggest the transaction values the stake at roughly $50 million. We explain why Authentic Brands Group has become one of the most powerful licensing companies in the world and how this move could allow Drake to scale OVO globally while becoming far more hands-off in the day-to-day business.Next, we discuss one of the most fascinating stories from the NBA Finals. Josh Hart took possession of the historic Game 4 game ball following the largest comeback in Finals history, only for the NBA to reclaim it due to league agreements surrounding historic memorabilia. That leads into a larger conversation about ownership of iconic sports moments, including the Olympic gold-medal-winning hockey jersey that was preserved rather than returned to the player who wore it. With some of these items valued in the millions, we debate whether preserving them for fans and collectors ultimately benefits the hobby more than individual ownership.Finally, we break down comments from Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick regarding GTA 6. Zelnick addressed several rumors surrounding the game, discussed the company's approach to artificial intelligence, and revealed why this is the most nervous he's ever been ahead of a launch. With unprecedented expectations and years of anticipation, GTA 6 may become the most important entertainment release of the decade.

Have you noticed that your coaching offer isn't converting the way it used to? In this episode, I break down what AI is doing to the coaching and consulting industry and why so many once-profitable offers are losing traction. I share how people are now turning to tools like ChatGPT and Claude for fast, "good enough" answers instead of paying for broad coaching support, and how that shift is creating a ripple effect across courses, events, masterminds, and consulting businesses. I also share why the coaches who are still winning are the ones solving a very specific problem. Tune in to learn how to pivot fast, niche down smarter, and build a coaching business people will still gladly pay for.   HIGHLIGHTS Why AI is replacing many coaching and consulting offers. How "good enough" advice is reducing demand for general coaching. The ripple effect causing events, masterminds, and courses to suffer. Why broad coaching offers are no longer enough to compete. What it really means to solve a micro-specific problem people will pay for. How to pivot your coaching business before the market leaves you behind.   RESOURCES Join the most supportive mastermind on the internet - the Mentor Collective Mastermind!

Last year he sold $800,000 in residential plumbing — and installed every job himself. This is his exact playbook. Payton Sword is a plumbing technician at Steve Huff Plumbing, Heating & Air in Kingsport, Tennessee — and a 4x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Last year he sold roughly $800,000 in residential plumbing. No sales/install split, no handing the job off: every technician at Steve Huff sells the work and does the work. Payton was hired at 19 — at the same shop his dad worked for back in 1996. The company put him through 15 months of ride-alongs, trainings, and schools before he ever got his own truck. Today the shop's 12 plumbing technicians train four days every month: full service-call roleplays with homeowner personalities, DISC profiles, and a "switch method" that swaps techs mid-roleplay to keep everyone sharp. In this episode, Payton walks Bob Houchin through his entire service call, start to finish — from the drive-time research to the same-day install. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $800K reveal — and why he installs every job he sells • The at-the-door credibility statement he delivers on every single call • Why he never asks permission to run the whole-house safety inspection — "it's a value creator" • Builder-grade vs. professional fixtures — and the restaurant question that sells Totos • The four-option presentation with everything on the top option • Present the top option, ask for the business — then go silent • "Is it only the money?" — his answer to "I should get another bid" • The authority close: "What were you expecting to spend today?" • Why the shop trains four days a month — and why it produces Crown Champions  Whether you run a plumbing company, manage a service team, or you're a tech chasing Crown Champion numbers — Payton's process is a masterclass in trust-first, education-driven selling. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Most authors overlook one of the most powerful marketing opportunities they already have: their local market. While everyone else fights for attention online, smart authors are building visibility, reader loyalty, and consistent book sales right in their own backyard — often with far less competition and far better results.In this episode, Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell unpack the local marketing strategies that actually move books. From wine bars hosting “books and bubbly” nights to thriller-and-whiskey pairings, cookbook tastings, boutique retail partnerships, fitness collaborations, farmers markets, seasonal festivals, and school appearances, we break down how authors can create events and partnerships that feel engaging, profitable, and easy for businesses to say yes to.We also talk about why local visibility matters far more than most authors realize. Community exposure can fuel Amazon traffic, strengthen word-of-mouth marketing, create stronger reader trust, and open doors to media, speaking opportunities, and long-term platform growth. The authors seeing the best results are often the ones creating visibility in places their competitors never think to look.You'll hear practical strategies for pitching businesses that have never stocked books before, setting up simple consignment arrangements, building collaborative events that benefit everyone involved, and turning small local wins into momentum that compounds over time.Plus, we share overlooked “micro marketing” tactics with surprisingly big payoff, including QR-code bookmarks, local networking opportunities, seasonal tie-ins, collaborative giveaways, and smart ways to move readers from in-person discovery into your long-term digital funnel.If online marketing feels crowded and exhausting, this episode will show you why local visibility may be the smartest — and most underused — book marketing strategy available to authors right now.Send us your feedback!Help shape our 2026 content by taking our 30-second listener poll!

Tom Ferry's Outliers series is back — this week with an agent who went from selling knives in college to selling 200 homes a year before his mid-twenties.   At just 25, Caleb Monroe is on track to close 200 homes this year. He started in 2020 as a community college student, and his transaction count tells the story: 12, then 52, then 85, then 120, then 135 — and a projected 200 in year five. Then he doubled his business by doing the opposite of what most growing agents do. He cut his headcount.   If you're working harder every year and watching your income flatline anyway… this episode names exactly why.   In this episode, you'll learn: The 92% Rule: Why the vast majority of your workday is administrative noise — and how Caleb guards the 8% that actually generates income. Strategic Fat-Trimming: The counterintuitive move that doubled Caleb's business by shrinking his team instead of growing it. The Compound Shift: The time-blocking change that turned Caleb's daily schedule into long-term momentum. Yacht vs. Pirate: The mental reframe that pulls the "sleazy salesperson" feeling out of lead gen — and turns you into the person clients are relieved to find. The One-to-Many Ratio: How Caleb is moving away from one-off retail deals toward bulk opportunities with developers and hedge funds. The $10,000 Bet: The audacious wager Caleb made with Tom Ferry on his own sales — and what it reveals about how outliers think.   Caleb's run wasn't luck. The structure behind it was built inside Tom Ferry coaching — including the bet that put it all on the line. Ready to stop drowning in the 92% and build a business around the 8% that matters?   Schedule a free call with a Tom Ferry consultant to learn more about coaching and see if it's right for you.

If you take roof pictures like this, they'll basically sell themselves.The problem is that many sales people don't know how to share them the best way.So they whip out their phone, scroll through dozens of photos, and tell the homeowner that the roof is absolutely destroyed and they need to buy a new roof immediately.The homeowner puts their guard up, and for good reason.Instead, you can use what Jon Broce calls the “i35” framework.i = Inspection3 = 3 Photos (in this exact order: Bad, Good, Worst)5 = 5 Questions The way Jon Broce explains this process is nothing short of brilliant.It puts the homeowner in control.They see the photos, understand them, take ownership of the condition, and choose what to do about it.Watch this new video to learn Jon Broce's “i35 Framework” and get your roof pictures selling themselves.P.S.

Most podcasters assume they need paid ads to grow. Jaryd Krause proves the opposite. After he got banned from Facebook ads and watched a business that ran on up to $20,000 a month in ad spend fall apart, he rebuilt his business on a podcast with zero ad spend, and the clients started coming to him.In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Jaryd Krause, founder of Buying Online Businesses and host of the Buying Online Businesses Podcast, shares how he advises on acquisitions up to $20 million while working five to ten hour weeks from Bali. Jaryd breaks down the content garden approach that attracts buyers instead of chasing them, the ad funnel that turns one short clip into an email list, why he rejects about 99% of guest pitches and hunts the guests he wants instead, and the simple naming move that makes a show sellable later.He also explains why he does not lean on sales calls anymore, how banking episodes ahead buys real freedom, and why building your show for others beats building it for the money.If this episode helps you rethink how a podcast can grow a business, subscribe and follow Podcasting Secrets on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly strategies on growth, monetization, and building a show that works while you live your life.Follow, Like & Subscribe Podcasting Secrets: Website: https://podcastingsecrets.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podcasting-secrets Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastingsecrets/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/poduppodcasting/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasting-secrets/id1726056241 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0edA45tyPxFRfiUmDxYSUjNathan Gwilliam: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathangwilliam/Jaryd Krause: Website: https://buyingonlinebusinesses.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarydkrause YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ3g6G2USlnq7EgnUsajTBw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buyingonlinebusinesses/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/buying-online-businesses-podcast/id1455428116 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/54NJNFU0VjO35y4heFBWmx

What if your content could do more than showcase your brand and attract a few leads?  The right content system can act like your invisible sales force – and deliver leads already convinced you are the right fit before you ever get on a call. Most experts are working harder than ever to create content, but many are feeling frustrated by declining reach, shifting algorithms, and audiences that seem more interested in entertainment than transformation. The old content model of posting more often, chasing engagement, and hoping for visibility simply isn't creating the same results it once did. In Episode 495 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I share one of the most important shifts I've observed in today's business landscape and why your content needs to evolve beyond attention-grabbing tactics. I unpack what I call a content ecosystem and how it becomes your invisible sales force by building trust, creating emotional resonance, and helping potential clients self-select before they ever reach out to work with you. You'll discover the four layers of a powerful content ecosystem, why trust has become one of the most valuable currencies in business today, and how to create content that moves people from curiosity to conviction. I also share why I've become such a fan of Substack as a platform for building deeper relationships, creating meaningful engagement, and bringing your content ecosystem together in one place. If you've been creating content consistently but feel like it's not translating into meaningful conversations, qualified leads, or clients, this episode will help you understand what may be missing and how to build a content strategy that creates momentum long before the sales conversation begins.   Key Takeaways: [03:18] How content can become an invisible sales force that builds trust before a sales conversation ever happens. [04:32] Why my best clients often arrive already convinced they want to work with me before applying. [06:27] The shift happening in content marketing and why traditional visibility strategies are losing effectiveness. [08:42] Why entertainment-driven content and transformation-driven content create very different outcomes. [11:18] The four layers every content ecosystem needs to attract and convert aligned clients. [12:05] The role of attraction content that captures attention and encourages people to go deeper. [12:59] How depth content builds trust, authority, and connection that inspires them to stick around. [13:34] What happens when you master Emotional Resonance in your content — helping people see themselves in your message and mission. [16:07] The importance of experiential content to accelerate buying decisions. [17:48] How layered content reduces sales resistance and shortens decision cycles. [18:56] Why repeated exposure builds confidence, trust, and client readiness. [19:22] The reason I believe Substack creates a powerful environment for thought leadership and relationship building. [22:25] Why community is becoming one of the most important pillars in the new paradigm of business. [23:36] The four questions every expert should ask when designing a content ecosystem that converts.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   Join me on Substack here to discover what's working now as our industry continues to evolve.

And subscribe to Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! The wind industry got a warning this week… and it came from the top. Siemens Gamesa, the world's largest maker of offshore wind turbines, says governments in Europe may be running out of time. The company's chief executive sounded the alarm Thursday. Europe is currently forty gigawatts short of its one-hundred-and-twenty gigawatt offshore target for twenty thirty. Sixteen gigawatts of projects in Germany alone are at risk of delay, tangled up in lengthy permitting and grid connection backlogs. The plants are running full today. But without new orders soon, factories could go dark for contracts starting in twenty twenty-eight. “It is not yet an existential threat,” said Siemens Gamesa chief Vinod Philip, “but it could become one.” He stopped short of predicting shutdowns. But he said the company would likely have to downsize resources if governments fail to act quickly. Europe's offshore supply chain has already committed fourteen billion euros to meet the twenty thirty targets. That is roughly sixteen billion dollars… with no guarantee the orders will follow. Meanwhile… one of the world's biggest oil companies is quietly walking away from wind. Shell is preparing to sell its offshore wind farms in a deal that could fetch more than one billion dollars. The company has hired advisers to run the process, which could launch before the year is out, with a sale expected sometime in twenty twenty-seven. Shell once dreamed of becoming the world's largest electricity producer. That vision died when its current chief executive took over in early twenty twenty-three and shifted the focus back to fossil fuels and shareholder returns. Since then, Shell has been unwinding its green power portfolio piece by piece. It sold its European onshore renewables arm. It sold Indian renewable company Sprng Energy, which it had bought just years earlier for one-point-five-five billion dollars. And it walked away from planned offshore wind farms in Scotland. When this latest sale closes, Shell will have little wind left in its portfolio. But where one door closes… another opens. Up in the northernmost corner of Maine, a region that has sat on one of the best wind resources in the country for years, a long-awaited breakthrough may finally be at hand. The Maine Public Utilities Commission is closing its latest round of bidding for wind and solar generation in Aroostook County, plus the new transmission lines needed to move that power south to the rest of New England. The target: at least twelve hundred megawatts. Enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. Maine is not going it alone this time. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont are sharing the cost of the new transmission infrastructure. The previous attempt in twenty twenty-one fell apart. Costs rose. Deals could not be finalized. Landowners fought the proposed one-hundred-forty-mile power line. This time, officials say things are different. The multi-state partnership changes the math. And northern Maine's wind resource has not gone anywhere. Dozens of energy companies have signed up to compete, from local developers to major multinationals. If everything goes to plan, the best-case scenario puts new turbines spinning in the twenty thirties. And half a world away… Egypt is making a major investment to keep pace with its own renewable ambitions. The Egyptian prime minister this week witnessed the signing of a financing agreement worth sixty billion Egyptian pounds, earmarked for the national electricity transmission network. That money will go toward upgrading the grid so it can absorb the solar and wind power Egypt plans to add in the coming years. The target: forty-five percent of national electricity from renewable sources by twenty twenty-eight. The electricity minister said modernizing the grid is a “continuous and evolving process,” and that implementation timelines are being compressed to meet that twenty twenty-eight deadline. The wind is shifting. The question is… who moves with it. And that's the state of the wind industry for the 15th of June 2026. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast tomorrow.

A Fox News regular runs a company that sells paid protesters to the highest bidder. We sat him down and asked about the bodies, the lawsuits, and the crowds he says he can manufacture for anyone willing to pay. Adam Swart is the founder of Crowds on Demand, a Beverly Hills firm that supplies actors and paid demonstrators for protests, hearings and PR stunts. He has spent the past year on Fox News, Newsmax and OANN telling conservative audiences that the protests against Donald Trump are organised, funded and fake. The catch is that manufacturing protest for money is, by his own account, the entire business. This drops the morning after Trump turned his 80th birthday into a cage fight on the White House lawn, while millions took to the streets in a fresh round of No Kings protests. So we dug into the real history of Crowds on Demand: paid actors posing as Hurricane Katrina survivors at a council hearing, a federal racketeering lawsuit settled with a published apology, a recruitment drive for people hired purely to intimidate, and an unverifiable claim that someone once offered Swart millions to fake an anti-Trump crowd. It is not a hit job. He comes with some genuinely interesting anecdotes, including work his company says it did for people who use PrEP, and the conversation finds real common ground before it asks the harder questions his usual bookers never do. Outcast World is an independent, queer, left-leaning interview show. Broadcasting that does not pull its punches. Subscribe and stick around.

Reports point to a tentative peace deal between the U.S. and Iran that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz for 30 days.
