Podcasts about why podcasting

In this episode of Nonprofit Architect, Travis talks with Wes and Debora from The Multipurpose Room Podcast about using podcasting to promote your non-profit. Podcasting is the best way to get your message heard by today's audience.  Wes and Debora talk about finding topics that matter to your audience, using social media, the length of your podcast and so much more. If you are already a podcaster, Wes, and Debora give some tips on how to improve your podcast.  To find these tips listen to today's episode.     Conversation Highlights:  {02:37} Behind the scenes with the Multipurpose room podcast. {03:55} Choosing topics that matter to your audience.  {06:21} Why Podcasting is the most convenient way for your audience to receive your message.  {08:16} Picking a time length for your podcast episode. {14:09} Being part of the podcast community. {15:32} Give your guest and listener the most engaging way to hear the clip or full. {17:11} How to get your audience to rate and review the show. {20:11} Using social media, Tick-tock, Instagram, reels, etc... {25:45} Why you need a great summary at the end of your episode. It is a WOW factor. {32:19} Pulling value points from the conversation. Making sure your guest looks good and is comfortable. {35:32} The pre-call is essential.  {39:04} How to find the right guests. {46:17} Getting ads for your podcast.  $18.00 per 1000 downloads on a 15-second intro spot or 25.  {52:26} The importance of staying committed.   Remarkable quotes:  Whether it is social or direct outreach, podcasting made a lot of sense. The great thing about a podcast is you can also fast forward to the part you're interested in.  No matter what your style, your preferred length is, there is an audience that you are going to be able to reach based on their needs and what they are looking for. I went through 60 audiobooks, in 2019. Just commuting back and forth to work and listening.  Preparation is critical. People undervalue preparation sometimes, but when you are bringing on a guest, I always like to tell the guest what we are trying to get out of the episode. What is your kind of call to action at the end of your episodes? One of the most creative things I have seen for an intro was pulling clips from a few episodes talking about the host or what that looks like and then splicing those together.  Try and stay connected with our audience and do things that matter to them at those given times.     Resources:  djones@k12clothing.com www.k12clothing.com www.facebook.com/k12clothing www.instagram.com/k12clothing podcast: themultipurposeroom.school    Bio: Wes and Debora   Wes Wesley is a PTA dad, entrepreneur, Air Force Veteran, host of the Multipurpose Room podcast, and owner of a K-12 Clothing, a school apparel supply company.

Dustin Plantholt’s “Life’s Tough—YOU can be TOUGHER!” podcast this week features Josh Nielsen, founder of Zencaster — a web-based tool that helps podcasters easily record their guests, getting the same high-quality audio as in studio.  In a recent interview with Dustin, Josh Nielson explains how it all started for him, chasing his story back to his very first job and detailing the beginnings of his groundbreaking podcasting platform. Recognizing that podcasters faced significant challenges recording their shows and collecting the audio from remote guests, Josh decided to employ some of the skills he’d been learning on previous projects to build something that would solve this problem. No longer do podcast hosts have to cross their fingers, hoping the internet connection doesn't fail them! Josh designed Zencastr with first class options and an arsenal of professional tools, allowing podcast producers to quickly and painlessly record their guests. Why Podcasting? Josh says that podcasting is a great way to connect with people who might otherwise be difficult to get 10 minutes with. By providing value to an entire audience though a podcast interview, everyone wins. “It’s a lot easier to say - ‘come be on my podcast my audience will really benefit from you’ than saying - ‘can I please have some of your time’. And the audience just love to be a fly on the wall for those conversations as well.” Josh says. Josh dropped out of college with one semester left, took a job at a startup and learned more working there for 3 months than he did in his entire University program. He quickly caught the entrepreneur bug and moved to Boulder, CO spending a summer working as a developer for Techstars.  To learn more about Josh Nielsen and Zencastr visit www.zencastr.com and join us for new episodes of Life’s Tough: You Can Be Tougher! here on the “Life’s Tough” channel! Dustin Plantholt is founder and CEO of Life’s Tough. Surviving a traumatic childhood and now raising a family of his own, he is dedicated to helping others find their voice through sharing their story. Dustin says “Together, we are sparking a movement and changing the world, one heart at a time. It’s life … life is tough … but YOU can be TOUGHER!”

I'm gonna give you three podcast marketing techniques. Now, let me be clear. I'm not talking about directly marketing your podcast to get more listeners. Yes, that's really important.

This week's show has a bit of a different format as it's just me! I discuss why podcasting is such a great opportunity for practically any type of business, how you can easily start one if you're interested, and what my experience has been like so far. Hope you like it! Topics discussed include: Why Podcasting is a Great Marketing Opportunity for Many Businesses: Podcasts are a terrific way to connect with your audience and build trust. No matter what industry you're in. People tend to listen to podcasts for a long time, so if you can attract some loyal listeners, after a while it will be like they practically know you. Imagine how easy it is to sell a product or service to them after that? Plus it's super easy to start one. And while podcasting is very popular right now, there is actually way less competition in this space than in other marketing channels. The Content Model Behind the Podcast: Consistently creating new content to promote a business can feel like a huge chore for many entrepreneurs and marketing teams. But it's necessary for being able to drive new business growth online. A podcast helps you solve this problem because each episode can become several other different pieces of content. Plus it covers your bases by ending up in audio, video, and written formats. Networking Benefits: This is one of the biggest benefits of podcasting that is not obvious to people from the outside. Basically, a podcast is the ultimate networking tool and by setting up a show it gives you a platform to connect with thought leaders in your industry. It helps you build relationships that wouldn't have happened otherwise which can lead to new business opportunities. My Experience Starting a Podcast So Far and How It Compares to What I Thought: From a technical standpoint, setting up and producing a podcast isn't that difficult. That might surprise some people. It's definitely been a fun experience so far, and I talk about the unexpected benefits brought about by it. Do you or someone you know need a website for their business?

Because of My Podcast: Free Tickets 2:00 Brad from the Cinema Guys ( www.wearethecinemaguys.com ) explains how he was approached by a small local Cinema Chain who listens to his podcast. Brad worked a deal that enables him to get tickets to movies. Brad (being the cool guy he is) is using them as a give away for his audience. He has also worked to do a screening of Brad's all-time favorite horror movie, "John Carpenter's The Thing." They get to introduce the movie and then do a Q&A afterward. Earn Money Referring People to the School of Podcasting 7:20 As a podcaster, people may approach you about how you started your show. You may be thinking of creating an online course, or an ebook. Instead of spending all that time and resources, you can signup to be a School of Podcasting affiliate and earn a commission when they subscribe and also for every month when they stay subscribed. For more information go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/affiliates Why Knowing Your Why Matters 8:00 It keeps you focused. You are no longer distracted by things that don't help you achieve your goal. If you know why you're doing something, you can see the results clearer. This enables you to spot the small victories that then motivate you to keep going. It is then the motivation that enables you to try again. When another small victory comes along, you get another dose of motivation, and a pinch of this thing called confidence. How My "Why" Gave Me Super Powers I had been wanting to lose weight, and over the last year, I have been going up and down. I would get down to maybe 218 lbs, and then go up to 221 or 222. I wanted to get up and go to the gym in the morning. I knew to drink lots of water, and get plenty of sleep. I knew what to do. However, when I listed my priorities I wrote down things like rewriting my book More Podcast Money, I needed to update some tutorials at the School of Podcasting, and take a class on SEO. Nowhere in there is anything about my health. That's when I realized why I wasn't losing weight. It simply was not a priority. I got a call from letting me know that I was being inducted into the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame. The minute I hung up the phone, I said out loud, "Well somebody's getting up early tomorrow." While it is somewhat weird, as I normally try not to care what people think of me, I knew there would be lots of pictures. I even hired a photographer to take pictures during my presentation. Suddenly,  like a light switch, I had willpower. I had focus. I had a purpose. No longer did I need to watch TV. I realized that most of the taped TV shows I use to watch rarely delivered any real value. I could take that time and use it at the gym, or walk around, or cook healthy food, and THAT would deliver value to my goal of losing weight. When You Know Your Why You Can Make it Through the How “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” -Friedrich Nietzsche The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you discover why you were born.– Mark Twain Apple Podcasts hits 550,000 Podcasts I listened to my first episode, and in it, I mention in April of 2005, there were maybe "4000" podcasts. This article says in 2005 there were 3000 podcats, now there are 550,000 and according to this TechCrunch article, there have been Fifty billion episodes have been streamed/downloaded since launch. The new numbers include 18.5 million individual episodes representing 155 countries, in more than 100 languages. So in 2005 when I was explaining to people how cool podcasting was, and how awesome it was that you could "teel the software to watch this site" (better known today as a subscription) and that you didn't ' need a Mac, and you didn't need an iPod to listen. IT WAS PAINFUL as many people just didn't get it (it took a while for me to get it). But I knew the potential power of podcasting, and I had quit listening to radio, and I wanted people to experience the same joy I had found. It didn't seem hard because if I helped ONE person understand and start listening to podcasts, and I had ONE more person to talk about Dawn and Drew with, it was worth my time and effort. When you know you're why the "work" doesn't seem like work. It just seems like something you do. When I first started playing the guitar it was BRUTALLY PAINFUL, but I knew I wanted to play. I wanted to be like my brother (who played) and so the pain wasn't so bad. I knew it was temporary, and I could make it through the how. My "Whys" I get to help people (my background is in training. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education specializing in Technical Education from the University of Akron) It's creative (my hobbies are music, writing, photography, poetry). It's geeky (I get to play with software to build websites, track downloads, and more) I get to leave a very small fingerprint on the planet. Neither of my marriages produced any children. The word "Legacy" seems a bit much, but you get my point. I am meeting and creating great friends. It's helping me to pay off my student loans If I lost my job today, I would have a cushion of money coming to tie me over (and in reality, I would probably be able to the School of Podcasting Ful time) I'm not sure what I would do with my free time if I didn't. Your Why's Might Be: Share your knowledge Get your message out out Promote a business Stay connected to friends and family Be seen as an expert Open the door to possibilities Find like-minded people Inner office company communication Educate Entertain Getting the Motivation To Start I just listened to a great episode of the You Wanna Do What? Podcast by Monica Rivera where she interviewed Jeff Haden about motivation. It was a really good interview and had some great insights into motivation. Including: You only need enough motivation to start. If you set small achievable goals, those "little wins" give you the motivation to try again and keep moving. So some examples of small achievable goals my be Buying your equipment Plugging everything in and making your first recording Getting your artwork Publishing your first episode Syndicating to Apple, Stitcher, etc Getting 10 downloads for an episode Getting 50 downloads an episode When accomplishing these little milestones, it feeds your motivation to keep going. 25:10  Brenda from My Tech Toolbelt explain how her kids are grown, and while she is thankful for her job, it can be kind of boring, and she is podcasting because she enjoys learning. Yes, there is a lot to learn but as she put it, "It's fun. It's exciting, and I've already got two press passes (to be continued)"  27:37 Jim Collison from The Average Guy Network (and my Co-host for Ask the Podcast Coach) is a lot like me. We both love being around people, we both love helping people. We both like to talk and to influence people to help them do things.    The #1 Killer of Motivation and Why Podcasting is Like Golf 30;03 There is a reason that employees at companies are strongly urged not to share their income amount with other employees. If two people share that information, one person is leaving that meeting upset. So when people share how many downloads they get in a Facebook group, and their numbers are three times as many as you, ignore it and instead of focusing on their numbers, focus on your audience and how you can serve them. If two golfers shared their scores, someone is going to think, "WHAT?! How is that person better than me? Well, there are a number of factors: Better equipment More experience Better coaching Better attitude More athletic More time to practice So if you came to me and said, "I can't believe they are better than me! And I answered: Your sound quality is very distracting You have half as many episodes They have a completely different niche They have more time to promote their show They have a budget to market your show and you don't They have no children and you have five They went to the School of Podcasting and you watched outdated YouTube Videos Wouldn't you be able to see why someone might be getting more downloads than you (and keep in mind, there are more ways to measure podcast success than downloads). So unless you want to detail your podcast DON'T COMPARE YOUR SHOW TO OTHER PODCASTS. Heli PR77D Microphone Shootout   35:02 The Heil PR77D is basically a Heil PR40 with a bass roll-off switch, and something that will look very cool in any videos. It comes in black and purple and retails for $249 where the Heil PR40 is $308. You will hear these with my mic preamp the DBX 286 $199 off during the shootout. In today's shootout, I compare it to an Electrovoice RE320 $299   Audio Technica AT2005 $79, Audio Technica BP40 $349, Blue Yeti $129 The Heil PR77D has that traditional warm Heil Sound. When I switched it voice mode (which cuts out frequencies below 120Hz) it seems a little too clear for my voice). It comes with a nice black velvet bag to keep it in. It's a very sturdy microphone, and I love the retro look. Of the microphones above, the only one I steer people away from is the Blue Yeti unless you PROMISE to read the manual, buy an over-priced pop filter, and use it on a boom arm. I personally use the Electrovoice RE320, but I liked the warmth of all the Heil Microphones and I need to play with it a little more to see how the proximity effect is (if it has more bass when you get close to it). The rear rejection seemed about as good as the other microphones.

More than ever, now is the time to take a serious look at what a podcast sponsorship can do for your brand.From niche to big business, podcasting made huge strides in 2017:• Ad spend is expected to hit $534 million in 20202• 93% of brands have increased their podcast advertising spend from 2016 to 20173• Huge investments are being made in the medium • Break out shows have led to Hollywood TV adaptations and spin-offs• Increased number of festivals and live events are building even more excitementaround the industry• Apple releases its new consumption metrics for publishers in beta to meet thegrowing demand for better data on all sides - just the beginning and not very impactful yet!What type of audiences are you going to reach?As attention spans become more fragmented, there is one place where brands can still reach an unduplicated audience that’s increasingly unreachable by traditional media - podcasts. Half ofU.S. households, as studied by Nielsen, are currently home to fans of at least one podcast. In addition to the steady growth in awareness and listening over the past few years, listeners arebecoming more diverse. In just 12 months, non-white listeners have grown 20%, up to 36% in 2017.A better ad experience:• 83% agree the host is authentic and natural in delivering the ads• 78% don’t mind the ads because they know sponsors support the podcast.• Over half (57%) of the podcast ads tested outperformed video pre-roll in driving purchaseintent liftThey’re paying attention:• 55% pay more attention to ads on podcasts vs. ads on other mediums6• Two-thirds of listeners 18-49 have acted on ads they heard in a podcast either byresearching a product or service or by actually purchasing something they first heard aboutin an episode7• 74% of our pod listeners are likely to purchase a product from their favorite host8So who’s listening:• Millennials heart podcasts: about 4 in 10 listeners (44%) are 18-34• They’re technologically active: 81% of podcast subscribers listen on mobile devices and 48%follow brands on social media• They have disposable income: 75% make $75K or more, over 30% make $100K or more• Pod fans are an ambitious bunch: nearly 60% have college or grad-level education, 75% areemployed9• And speaking of work: Podcast listening peaks during the work week, and prevails duringwork hours over music10The audience you’re going to reach simply comes down to the content you buy. Want veganurban moms or farmers in the Midwest? There’s a podcast targeting those audiences. Thecombination of targetability and the receptivity to advertising is what makes podcasts work. Podcast Advertising TERMS you need to knowPre-roll: An ad at the opening of the podcast. It can be a full length host read (30-60 seconds), apre-recorded (traditional audio) ad or a shorter “this show is brought to you by”. There can bemultiple pre-rolls in 1 episode.Mid-roll: These segments occur periodically throughout the episode. Typically, these rangefrom :30-:60 seconds, but can be any length.Post-roll: A brief ad at the end of the content, during which the host can urge listeners onceagain to check out the company or simply remind them of the sponsorship.Offer Code/Promo Code/Offer Code: Most podcast ads offer listeners a unique promo code and/or dedicated website to visit, which allows sponsors to track how many conversions they're getting.Podcatcher/Podcasts App: Or podcast client is a program or app used to download podcasts. Apple Podcasts reigns supreme, but others include Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, and Pocket Casts.Download/Progressive Download Plays: The current standard unit of audience measurement. Most podcasts are sold based on total average downloads per episode. A download counts each time there’s a request for a file (i.e. the episode). The general formula for calculating total downloads looks atbandwidth consumption per file, session length of a download, and similar factors. Somevendors may allow buys based on impressions, which are calculated based on downloads.TTSL: Total Time Spent Listening - what Apple added recently tooListen, Plays: Not sure podcasting industry has got firm and clear on how plays, listens are counted. We are getting close. IAB is making progress on this. Progressive Downloads can be counted as plays and listens too.Abandonment Rate (the percentage of people that leave the podcast before 2 minutes has expired Host (the tech kind): Referring to a content hosting platform such as Megaphone, Libsyn,Soundcloud, or PodBean where creators can upload their content feed for distribution andconsumption. While irrelevant to the listener, the hosting platform can make a difference to anadvertiser in regards to what technology is available for campaign execution - see “Set yourcampaign parameters” for more.Baked In/Live Reads/Host Reads: “Baked in” reads are native host-read ads recorded into the content and live in the show in perpetuity. Good for branding campaigns and for tapping into the power of thepersonality.Dynamic insertion (DI): Pre-recorded reads (host/announcer read OR canned audio from theadvertiser) are seamlessly integrated into natural breaks within the content. Ads are insertedon-demand allowing for audience targeting, full impression tracking, and the ability to swapcreative at any time.Dynamically-served impression: Standard unit of measurement for DI ads. Impressions canbe tracked for all ad units (pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll).CPM - Paid Per thousand Listens on total audienceCPA - Fixed payment per conversion transaction - Not paid for audience and affiliate programsRSS feed: Host Server generated XML document URL that contains text metadata, image and episode list that includes link URL’s to .mp3 files and episode level text title and descriptions.Webplayer/Widget Player: Transportable programming code that can be cut & pasted to be placed in your website to enable an audio player experience on an external show website or blog. Listener Comment from last Weeks show:IleaneThanks so much for covering this topic Rob and Jay. The fact that we can disable the RSS here on Spreaker is huge. I imported one of my Anchor feeds here and recommending others on Anchor to do the same. Now I can use that gorgeous Spreaker player with a custom image and layout when I want to embed an episode on a blog post. Cheers!Gail NoblesIHeart radio appears to be joining with podcasting, but radio is mainly music, and podcasting is more within itself. Online there is change.Radio and Podcasting is starting to look like one together to me. People just want them to stay different. Radio is able to bring us the best hit music where podcasting cannot.What's going to happen when podcasting starts looking like video and TV? What change will that bring? There is always change. Online, you don't have to worry about AM and FM do you? Computers and technology has brought constant change.You mentioned Tunein. I did have a problem trying to submit different categories of my shows to Tunein. There was something not right with the feed. I didn't know how to solve it.It might be best if Spreaker submit our shows where they think they are needed automatically somehow.Spreaker Links:http://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comEmail: rob at spreaker.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com

Iceland has many more museums per person than the UK and the US. The country is also in the middle of a massive tourism boom: there are several times more tourists than residents. Hannah Hethmon, an American museum professional and Fulbright Fellow living in Reykjavík, was interested in this abundance of museums and the nature of museum tourism in Iceland.Her Fulbright project is the podcast Museums in Strange Places, which explores these and other Icelandic museum topics. In each episode, Hannah brings listeners through a different museum through the stories of the people who work there. In this episode, Hannah talks about what the tourist boom means for Icelandic museums, what makes museums on this island unique, and what is next for her podcast.For new listeners, Hannah recommends starting with episode 3: A Writer’s Home.Guest:Hannah HethmonTopics Discussed: 00:00: Intro00:15: Hannah Hethmon & Museums in Strange Places03:25: Tourist Boom in Iceland05:40: Icelandic Museums Serving Locals and Tourists08:40: Why Podcasting?10:05: Giving the Project its Boundaries11:30: Where Should People Start with Museums in Strange Places?

Stephen is the CEO of Predictive ROI and the host of the Onward Nation podcast. He is the author of two bestselling books, speaker, trainer, and his digital marketing insights have been featured in SUCCESS, Entrepreneur, The Washington Post, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and other media. Good Morning Onward Nation…I’m Stephen Woessner. And welcome to Episode 322 — where 5-days a week — I interview one of today’s top business owners so we can learn their “recipe for success” — how they built and scaled their business. In fact…have you downloaded our 12 SUCCESS Strategies eBook? It’s a distillation of the best business building advice we have collected from our incredible guests. You can get yours at OnwardNation.com/12download. So for today’s solocast — we are going to continue the momentum we have built over the last two weeks by sharing lessons I learned during my interview — as a guest — on the Business Rescue Road Map podcast. Now, if the name Business Rescue Road Map sounds familiar — you may recall — the host of the brilliant show is Stacy Tuschl — a three-time guest on Onward Nation. Stacy was our guest for Episodes 6, 174, and 287 of Onward Nation. And during each of our interviews — Stacy shared deeper and deeper insights. For example, in Episode 6 — she taught us great lessons about how to prepare for growth — and transparently — connected it back to story when one of her companies grew so fast — it outpaced her and her team’s ability to adapt to the rapid changes. But, they prioritized and successfully rebalanced the ship. In Episode 174 — I asked Stacy to take us deep into platform building — and she generously did. We dug into what Stacy describes as her “three steps to platform building” and how her business strategy is focused on all three — each and every day. Intrigued — I had to learn more — especially with how Stacy’s three steps were baked into the strategy behind her amazing podcast. I wanted to find out how podcasting became a key component to her business strategy. So we had a “Why Podcasting” discussion in Episode 287 — and let me say, Onward Nation — it is rare that a business owner will say — “Oh sure…you want to know the innermost workings of my business — for me to take you deep behind the green curtain so you can learn all my secrets? Absolutely, walk right this way.” But that is what Stacy did in all three episodes — and that is what all of our Onward Nation guests do — each and every day. Pure awesomeness from our guests. If you haven’t listened to — studied — and applied all of the pure awesomeness Stacy Tuschl shared with us during Episodes 6, 174, and 287 — I highly encourage you to add all three episodes to your list of vital priorities. You will be glad you did. And then shortly after Stacy was my guest on Onward Nation — she invited me to be a guest on her podcast called…Business Rescue Road Map…and wow…that was an outstanding conversation. Now she was interviewing me — interesting role reversal — and true to form — Stacy is an incredible host. She has this innate gift of being able to ask the questions she knows her listeners are hoping she will ask. She gracefully guides each guest down the exact right path to make sure her audience learns what needs to be learned during each and every episode. As I am sure you can tell, Onward Nation — I am a bit of a Stacy Tuschl fan. So, when she asked me if I would be guest on her show…I responded with the lesson Jay Baer recently shared with us during Episode 305… “Hell yes, I’ll do that! WOW!” And like Jay said…if we are not letting the “It’s a hell yes, or it’s a no” principle guide our decision making, Onward Nation — then you are saying “yes” way too often. I learned a lot from Stacy when she interviewed me, which is why — in just a moment — we are going to air the full interview as part of today’s solocast. The discussion with Stacy is that impactful. One of the lessons I shared with her audience might even surprise you — when you hear me encourage business owners to “embrace the challenge” and why enjoying those moments of struggle are key to your success — and happiness. Stacy and I also dug into: The story of why my first company failed, how I recovered from losing $100,000 when I was just 28 years old, and how those painful lessons formed the foundation what we have build here at Predictive ROI. Why it is important to be at your best when the fight is the hardest. I am a firm believer, Onward Nation, in never ever giving someone the permission — anyone — to tell me what is so — to tell me what my destiny is. I’ll explain why I am so fixated on this point during the discussion with Stacy — coupled with — how the the transformation of challenges forcing you to become somebody different on your way to accomplishing a goal, that’s what makes this entire process so rewarding — becoming more — becoming the person you always dreamt of becoming, Onward Nation. We also talk about why it is important to think thoughtfully about the things that are important — about the benefits of prayer, meditation, or just general thinking time. Stacy and I wrap up the interview with some things to consider if you happen to be thinking about or contemplating — quitting — throwing in the towel — and closing your business. To be clear, there are oftentimes some really good reasons why a business should close its doors — but it has been my experience — that business owners can be tempted to give up way, way, way too early. So Stacy and I share some thoughts and suggestions to consider — things business owners should really look at before closing their doors. Onward Nation — there’s always a way to build capital. So, I thought the best way for me to share these insights would be to air the full interview. I think you will get a lot out of the discussion. And as always…please let me know what you think. Drop me a line. Thumbs up or thumbs down. One point that I want to make sure I emphasize before we close out for today — during my conversation with Stacy — you heard us offer several recommendations for business owners to consider before closing their doors. And one particular area I have studied even more intensely since being a guest on Stacy’s show is the number of companies — more specifically — the number of business owners who struggle with generating enough leads — high quality leads flowing into their business on a steady basis…like a stream of prospects flowing right into their sales pipeline. In fact, the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs recently released a study showing that the top goal of 85 percent of today’s companies is lead gen. 85 percent, Onward Nation. Staggering. Here’s today’s reality — there is a gaping hole inside most businesses — and that hole — is the lack of qualified leads within their pipeline. It has been my experience, Onward Nation, in 20+ years of working with business owners all over the country — most do not have a sales pipeline — and the stress of how they will meet this month’s budget — or next quarter’s — can feel crushing at times. I am on a mission to help change that, which is why I shared several pipeline filling steps within Episode 298 several weeks ago. But you know what…when I relistened to the episode — I thought — “Hmmm, I can do better than that — I should have gone here and talked about that — and darn it — I missed this, this, and this. Arrgghhh.” So, I decided to create a masterclass on the 4-steps to Filling Your Sales Pipeline. You will see the full details and all we will cover — in full transparency — in very specific detail — on-screen demonstrations — it will be a very deep dive — so you can take and apply this lead gen recipe immediately inside your business. I look forward to seeing you — virtually at least — on September 21st. So with that…I want to thank you again for taking the time to be here with me today. It is an honor to have you here — thank you for tuning in — I am delighted you chose this episode to be what you listen to, study, and take with you on your morning run, or maybe Onward Nation has become part of your daily commute, or in some other way has become part of your morning routine. I want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing some of your invaluable 86,400 seconds you have in your day with me and the strategies we learn and share each day from today’s top business owners. And please continue to let me know what you think of Onward Nation…good or bad…I always want your feedback. Hit me up on Twitter or LinkedIn — or stop by our Predictive ROI Facebook page — and let us know what you think of the show — thumbs up or thumbs down. Either way — we want to know. Your feedback helps get better. And remember…you can always email me at stephen@onwardnation.com and I reply to every single message. Please let us know how you think we are doing. I look forward to hearing from you. We will be back tomorrow with an incredible encore interview with Nancy Marshall — my word, Onward Nation — you will not want to miss Nancy’s third visit to the show. We took this opportunity to dig deep into Nancy’s book — to dive into several of the exceptional PR strategies within the pages — as well as — Nancy’s business strategy behind the book and how it has become her best business card ever. So…if you have ever thought of writing a book…listen to Nancy Marshall tomorrow…because she lays out her entire strategy in precise detail. Nancy is off-the-charts amazing, Onward Nation. Don’t miss the show. Until then, onward with gusto!
