LinkedIn wird von vielen Unternehmen noch immer als digitale Visitenkarte oder Plattform für Selbstdarstellung gesehen. Dabei steckt gerade im B2B deutlich mehr Potenzial darin. In dieser Episode spreche ich ausführlich mit Steffen Wetzel darüber, warum LinkedIn heute zu den wirkungsvollsten Vertriebskanälen gehört und weshalb viele Unternehmen diese Chance noch immer nicht konsequent nutzen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum moderner Vertrieb längst nicht mehr nur auf Messen oder am Telefon stattfindet und wie Unternehmen sich durch kontinuierliche Sichtbarkeit einen echten Wettbewerbsvorteil aufbauen können. Steffen erklärt, weshalb LinkedIn viel mehr als ein soziales Netzwerk ist und warum der Aufbau eines eigenen Netzwerks aus potenziellen Kunden langfristig einer der wertvollsten Vermögenswerte eines Unternehmens werden kann. Natürlich geht es auch um Videokommunikation. Wir werfen einen Blick darauf, warum Video heute Vertrauen schafft, Mitarbeiter zu Markenbotschaftern macht und Verkaufsprozesse deutlich effizienter gestalten kann. Ich erzähle außerdem aus eigenen Projekten, wie Videobotschaften im Vertrieb Rückfragen reduzieren, Entscheidungsprozesse beschleunigen und sogar Abschlussquoten verbessern können. Ein weiteres Highlight dieser Folge ist die Diskussion über Glaubenssätze im Vertrieb, den richtigen Umgang mit Webinaren, den Wandel des Kaufverhaltens und die Frage, warum Unternehmen endlich beginnen sollten, ihre Experten sichtbar zu machen. Außerdem sprechen wir über Generationenwechsel, moderne Kommunikation und warum viele Marketingmaßnahmen heute deutlich effizienter umgesetzt werden können als noch vor wenigen Jahren. Diese Episode liefert jede Menge konkrete Impulse für Geschäftsführer, Vertriebsleiter, Marketingverantwortliche und alle Unternehmen, die ihre Kundenkommunikation modernisieren und unabhängiger von klassischen Vertriebswegen werden möchten. ✅ In dieser Folge erfährst Du, warum LinkedIn weit mehr als ein soziales Netzwerk ist. ✅ Du hörst, weshalb Sichtbarkeit heute zu den wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren im B2B-Vertrieb gehört. ✅ Du lernst, wie Video den Vertrieb effizienter macht und Vertrauen aufbaut. ✅ Du erfährst, warum Mitarbeiter zu starken Markenbotschaftern werden können. ✅ Du hörst, weshalb Unternehmen ihre Kommunikation an das veränderte Kaufverhalten anpassen sollten.

#940 Liz and I are going head-to-head today and comparing our very different audience growth approaches! As you know, I'm all about posting daily. Especially since I've seen huge success creating Shorts for YouTube. After all, two million subscribers with just fifteen minutes of work per day is pretty good!

Her targeted growth is based on finding the right collaborators for strategies like lead magnet swaps, virtual speaking, and podcast guesting. She values her email list way more than any follower count! And the truth is, both of these approaches could work. That's why you should join us for this session to uncover and choose the growth tactic that resonates the most with you! So how do you build consistency to post every day? Alternatively, how do you network across to build your audience brick-by-brick? Tune in to find out!

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Martin Philipp, Co CEO von Evalanche, über die Zukunft von Marketing, Vertrieb und künstlicher Intelligenz. Dabei geht es aber nicht nur um Technologien, sondern vor allem um die Menschen dahinter. Martin erzählt offen von seinem außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg, warum Disziplin und Fokus für ihn entscheidend waren und weshalb persönliche Weiterentwicklung oft dort beginnt, wo wir unsere Komfortzone verlassen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum KI Marketing und Vertrieb grundlegend verändert und weshalb Unternehmen gerade jetzt ihre Positionierung überdenken sollten. Gleichzeitig werfen wir einen Blick auf die Grenzen der Technologie. Denn je mehr Inhalte automatisiert entstehen, desto wichtiger werden echte Begegnungen, Vertrauen und authentische Kommunikation. Ein zentrales Thema dieser Folge ist die Rolle von Video. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Video heute einer der effizientesten Wege ist, Sichtbarkeit aufzubauen und Inhalte über verschiedene Kanäle hinweg mehrfach zu nutzen. Gleichzeitig diskutieren wir, warum echte Menschen vor der Kamera auch in Zukunft unverzichtbar bleiben und weshalb gerade Persönlichkeit zum entscheidenden Wettbewerbsvorteil wird. Außerdem sprechen wir über den Einfluss von Social Media, die zunehmende Reizüberflutung und die Herausforderung, in einer immer schnelleren digitalen Welt den eigenen Fokus zu behalten. Martin erklärt, warum Unternehmen trotz aller KI Möglichkeiten zuerst ihre Strategie, ihre Positionierung und ihre Zielgruppe verstehen müssen, bevor sie über Tools nachdenken. Zum Abschluss werfen wir einen Blick auf den Mittelstand. Viele Unternehmen mussten bisher nie aktiv um Kunden werben. Heute verändern sich Märkte, Informationsverhalten und Kaufentscheidungen rasant. Genau deshalb wird professionelle Kommunikation mit Video, Content und einer klaren Strategie immer wichtiger. ✅ In dieser Folge erfährst Du, warum KI echte Beziehungen nicht ersetzen kann. ✅ Du hörst, weshalb Vertrauen und Persönlichkeit im Marketing wichtiger werden. ✅ Du lernst, wie Video zum zentralen Baustein moderner Kommunikation wird. ✅ Du erfährst, warum Strategie immer vor Technologie kommen sollte. ✅ Du hörst, wie Unternehmen Marketing und Vertrieb zukunftssicher aufstellen können.

In dieser Episode nehme ich Dich mit nach Südfrankreich. Die Folge entsteht dieses Mal direkt aus meinem Urlaub und ist gleichzeitig ein kleiner Meilenstein. Mein Podcast hat die Marke von 20.000 Downloads überschritten. Vielen Dank an alle, die regelmäßig zuhören und den Podcast weiterempfehlen. Inhaltlich geht es heute um eine Frage, die mir in den vergangenen Wochen immer wieder gestellt wurde: Wie können Unternehmen Videokommunikation sofort und ohne große Hürden im Arbeitsalltag einsetzen? Viele denken bei Video noch immer ausschließlich an Imagefilme oder Recruitingvideos. Dabei steckt das größte Potenzial oft in den täglichen Kommunikationsprozessen. Genau dort, wo Informationen schneller ankommen, Missverständnisse vermieden werden und Teams effizienter zusammenarbeiten. Ich stelle Dir fünf konkrete Einsatzmöglichkeiten vor, die Du sofort ausprobieren kannst. Du erfährst, warum Videobotschaften im Vertrieb Abschlussquoten verbessern und Rückfragen reduzieren können. Außerdem zeige ich Dir, wie häufige Kundenfragen als kurze Videos den Vertrieb entlasten und Interessenten besser vorbereiten. Ein weiteres Highlight dieser Folge ist das Thema Wissenskonservierung. Ich erkläre, wie Unternehmen das Know-how ihrer Mitarbeiter dauerhaft sichern können und warum kurze Videoeinheiten beim Onboarding oder bei Softwareeinführungen enorme Vorteile bieten. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, wie Videobotschaften interne E-Mails ersetzen können und weshalb kurze Expertenvideos auf LinkedIn dabei helfen, Vertrauen aufzubauen und sichtbar zu werden. Zum Abschluss gebe ich Dir praktische Empfehlungen für den Einstieg. Du erfährst, welche Technik wirklich notwendig ist, warum ein Smartphone oft völlig ausreicht und weshalb guter Ton wichtiger ist als perfekte Bilder. Außerdem spreche ich offen darüber, warum die größte Hürde meist nicht die Technik ist, sondern unsere eigene Unsicherheit vor der Kamera. Mit einfachen Übungen und kleinen Schritten gelingt der Einstieg deutlich leichter, als viele vermuten. Wenn Du Videokommunikation nicht länger als Projekt, sondern als Kommunikationswerkzeug für den Unternehmensalltag verstehst, eröffnen sich zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Marketing, Vertrieb, interne Kommunikation und Wissensmanagement. Genau dazu soll Dich diese Folge motivieren. ✅ In dieser Folge erfährst Du, wie Videobotschaften den Vertriebsprozess beschleunigen und Abschlussquoten verbessern können. ✅ Du hörst, wie kurze Antwortvideos typische Kundenfragen übernehmen und den Vertrieb entlasten. ✅ Du lernst, wie Unternehmen Wissen ihrer Mitarbeiter dauerhaft mit Video sichern können. ✅ Du erfährst, warum Videobotschaften interne E-Mails oft sinnvoll ersetzen. ✅ Du hörst, welche einfache Technik für den erfolgreichen Einstieg völlig ausreicht. ✅ Du lernst, warum der wichtigste Schritt nicht bessere Technik, sondern der Mut zum Anfangen ist.

If you've ever wished you could flip a switch and instantly generate more leads, this episode is for you. Guy Bauer explains why "getting leads" is the wrong goal, and why leads are actually the byproduct of a disciplined, long-term marketing system. Using Umault's own experience, he shares why it took more than a year to generate the agency's first inbound lead, introduces David C. Baker's water pump analogy for building marketing momentum, and explains why consistency beats quick fixes every time. Then, Guy delivers on the promise with two practical ways to generate leads faster: targeting the 5% of buyers who are already in-market through bottom-of-funnel marketing, and creating one bold, opinionated video that earns attention and fills your pipeline. If you're tired of "get leads fast" marketing promises and want a more realistic framework for building demand, this episode is for you.

#928 Why are creators suddenly challenging massive corporations? There's a big shift happening, and none of the old-school gatekeepers can stop it. Here's the best part, though. It's all powered by superfans! Join me for today's episode because, as you'll learn, the sky's the limit on what you can build if you focus on serving your core following. One example I look at today is YouTuber Markiplier's feature film, Iron Lung. Independently produced and distributed without traditional Hollywood involvement, the movie earned over $50 million at the box office! If you're not inspired yet, you will be once you learn that it was Markplier's superfans who made this huge success possible. They rallied together, contacted their local theaters, and pushed for Iron Lung to be shown. So listen in on this session because I'll share the blueprint you can apply to start small and build up your creator empire!
