Many people have asked me this question:
"Why are podcasts are MUST have for my business"
Many that I've spoken with believe that it's a "Good to have" for business. I can see their perspective. This episide of Inside (Ed)ition sheds some light on how podcasts work in B2C and B2B settings.
Shownotes:
-
Most believe that podcasts need channel monetization and influencers to work. That's the B2C model.
-
Let's explore what the B2B model is focused on, and how it supports sales and marketing.
-
Finding the right direction for B2B podcasts
-
Leveraging on a podcast producer as the intersection between sales, marketing and content creator for your business.

We invited Steve back onto the podcast to share more insights, tips and practices for those in leadership positions. Whether you're an experience leader, or new to the role, here are the key learnings from this podcast:
-
Know your values - they are your guide.
-
Your people are everything, so Get to know your people and get to know them on THEIR TERMS!
-
Build Trust and don't assume that they trust you - earn it where and when you can. Ask them, what it takes to earn their trust, even if it seems weird.
-
As much as you want accountability from your team, you must demonstrate that accountability first.
-
Leaders need motivation just as much as the staff do, so by being engaged and in it, you're motivating your leaders.
