PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:

00:01 Hey there, Scott MacKenzie again, and while we're talking about why you need to bring podcasting and this platform into your business, right? Either you bring in podcasting as a part of your sales marketing and branding strategy or find somebody else to do it, but be consistent with it. Bring it in. It is a powerful platform for you, your companies, your employees, or your partners, your customers, everybody. It is a win win solution. You bring out the human element. This is a, I want to say number five in a series that we're just going to keep on going until somebody says, yes, this is important, but I'll lay it all out. And once again, I have all of the information. If you say, yes, I better do it, but I need equipment. I need to understand the digital components, all of that stuff. It's all out on industrial talk.com okay.

00:53 The last episode that we did, not even, I believe it was yesterday, we talked about the sales funnel and we're talking about leveraging the, the podcast platform as part of that sales funnel. Now we have to build, build the content, and we started out with building and bringing in the content that is specific to your internal resources, the people, the part of your company, the ones that are passionate about what you are doing as a company, bringing out that human element, and so we highlighted that. Now we're going to go into, if you're out there on video, we're going to go into the partners. Now, this is where it gets really pretty interesting. So what you've done is you've said, okay, Hey, let's start this podcast. Let's start finding a, there are, these are the people that we are going to interview internally. They're all positive.

01:42 They're going to forward it to their people and they're going to say, Hey, this is great. I was on this podcast. We talked about this. This was a fun time. All wonderful human related focus on you, your company, your individuals. It's a wonderful win-win all around. Now this is when we start talking about the sales process, right? So you go to your partners. If you have partners, do you have customers? You have customers and we'll talk about that as well as prospects, but let's say we have partners, partners that a rep, your services rep, your solutions, whatever it might be, deploy your systems, whatever it might be. You have them. So you approach them and you say, Hey partner, I know that you've been doing a great job and and we really value your relationship. We would like to get you on our podcast. And I would say and we want and we want to talk about what you're doing that is making you a success.

02:43 And we want to educate the listeners of our podcast on why you as a partner are benefiting from being our partners, right? And and really just once again bring out that human element. But in that conversation you're going to say, okay, why are you so great, wonderful here, let me show you me. Let me show you how to take this now marketing asset that we created for you and then figure out how to get it in front of the right people so that you partner are a success. Now, this is where it gets real interesting. If your partner in the podcast speaks glowingly of their relationship with you and your solution, you have an asset now that says, Hey, we were talking to our partners here and this is just their interview on our podcast. They were great and I think you prospect would, would benefit from this conversation.

03:40 Now the partner's going to say, Hey, that was a great time. That's wonderful. Now I'm going to, I'm going to send it to my prospects, my customers, my internal people of why, Hey, this was a great time. It's all win, win all around, and it's under the guise of doing a podcast. You get it. Everything in this whole exchange is, is positive. It reflects that human element into who you are and what you're all about and and adjust. It creates a tremendous amount of Goodwill. But here's the best part. Now what's going to happen is that you, your company is baked in to that particular podcast, right? And so that partner's going to say, Hey, did a podcast for this company. This is great stuff. Now all of a sudden you're increasing your footprint and your influence and also all of a sudden everybody says, Hey, I know I can trust that company.

04:41 They're great people. I saw that human element in their particular podcast and you know what else I got? I got a lot of information out of it. That's what this is all about. It is just a great opportunity to sit around the, you know, the proverbial coffee table, it's podcast platform and be able to have this conversation and say, Hey, great, thank you for being on the podcast partner. Let me show you how you can promote it and you know what else? If you have customers that you would like to get on the podcast, let us know because we would love to be able to hear what they have to say about your services. And it's just everybody's just a happy go lucky type of a solution here. That is what happens. And then it begins to compound. They send it out to their friends, their families, their customers and end and your baked in.

05:35 And then you say, Hey, that's great. And then you send it out and then, and it just keeps on. Compounding keeps on growing. It keeps on evolving and it's all positive. That's it. That is when you start to build your content from this particular platform, this podcast platform. So you, you take your internal people, you interview them, they're fantastic, they've got great insights, wisdom, they know everything about what you do and they're passionate. Then you extend this platform to your partners and then the partners are psych Bao. I love working with you and I love working with your system and I will love your services and, and we have helped many people because you guys were so great and then you see how it works. It just keeps on going and it just keeps compounding. And so at the base, at the fundamental base of any type of sales is that know, like, and trust.

06:32 You're already 70% complete with your sales process. 70 ish. I don't have any real data to back it up. But however, it's a lot because all of a sudden they know you and they like you and they see your face and now all of a sudden you're, you're slicing and dices and you're making all this great content that helps people succeed. That's what you're in the business of doing. So once again, you bring them on your hammer, on the PO. Uh, the partners bring out their human side. You got internal people. The next one that we're going to be doing is customers. You have customers that use your services. You have customers that believe in you and what you are providing. So in the next episode we're going to talk about customers and you can see how it begins to come, uh, compound. It keeps growing and you keep pushing and you keep on booting out your message. So thank you very much. That's partners. We're going to be talking about customers next, be bold. Be brave. Dare greatly change the world. That's what you're all about. Thank you very much for joining. And we'll be back with customers. You're listening to the industrial talk podcast network.

Why You Need To Podcast – My Why and Find Your Why!

Scott MacKenzie — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:00:00 +0000

In this week's Industrial Talk Podcast we are starting a new series about Why You Need To Podcast! It is truly not a matter of debate. You need to include Podcasting as a vital platform for improving Sales, Marketing, Branding and humanizing your digital content. In this episode we begin with my “Why”. Why I started industrial podcasting and the positive impact it has had on my business. You can do this, you have to do this to increase opportunities and sales for ongoing future success. Find your podcast “Why” in this episode of the Industrial Talk Podcast.

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:

00:02 Scott MacKenzie, and you're saying to yourself, Hey Scott, where is the intro to the industrial talk podcast? Well, this is a series and it's actually on the topic of why you need to do podcasting. Either you bring it in house and you figure out how to do it, or you find somebody to do it for you. But either way, you need to figure out how to begin bringing podcasting the powerful platform that it is into your sales and marketing and branding strategies, not just for 2020 but on into the future. It's, it's, it's just a medium that will be around for a long time. And if you're not in the game, somebody is going to be in the game and they're going to take advantage of it and, and, and, and you're going to be left out in the cold. So I've had a number of people I've done over, geez, 500 plus podcasts of just great professionals and many have asked me why I'm doing podcasts.

00:56 You know, man, he want to know my story of wow, I got into podcasting and, and if you are a listener of the industrial talk podcast, you'll know my story. But if you're not, and if this is the first time you've heard this, uh, I'm going to tell you this story. These are going to be videos. They're going to be 10 minutes or less and they're going to come on out all the time. And we're just trying to make sure that you are successful in your efforts in 2020 to leverage the power of podcasting and how, um, how I approach it and how you can approach it. And I'm here to help any way shape I can. So once again, 10 minutes or less, these are going to be videos. And, and today I'm going to be talking about why, why I got started and, and, and how it has evolved.

01:41 So what happened is I spent a lot of money, spent them on a lot of money, on the traditional stuff. I was doing digital stuff, but I was also doing some um, print and the typical at that time, typical, um, advertising. And you know what? I got for it after spending a lot of money, nothing. And I had a serious lesson that I learned that it is, uh, the, the death rate that exists within the Tricia traditional print is rapid. It gets out there, it dies and there's no way of being able to bring in or see what happens or if the message is resonating, there is a ton of problems. So I was coming back from a client and I said, and I was listening to a podcast and I said, doc, got it. I can do that. I just needed, I just wanted to change the conversation.

02:31 I had no plans of anything beyond that. I just wanted to be able to change the plan, approach a client and say, Hey, would you be willing to get on the podcast and talk about positive things and help the listeners be better at what they're doing? It was truly an other focus platform to be able to provide valuable content, tactical, valuable content for you, the listener. And it was, and during that I just said, I'm getting to know these guys and they make decisions and it's a real win win for everybody all around. And it opened up opportunities for sales, marketing, and branding and, and, uh, just, just multiple opportunities. And I said, boy, this is, this is a pretty powerful platform. This is, this is exciting stuff. And, and as a, as you fast forward, as you go forward in time, I realized that we in the industry need to begin to bring this powerful platform into our portfolio of marketing, sales, branding solutions.

03:38 And it's not that difficult. And in this, in this series, you'll see how I, you know, you slice it and dice it and create content and why and how the opportunities are missing. Just know that, that there's a best interest here and I want you to be successful. And, and, and for me to just sit back and just say, okay, I do podcasting and that's, that's just not me. And I want it. I want to share with you why. Okay, so if you are looking at this on a video, because it is out there, I'm gonna shift to a slide. And on that slide you'll see, and I'll try to be as communicative, the communicated as I possibly can, but I would, I highly recommend that you go out to industrial talk.com and find this series and you'll see the platform. And then of course I'm going to have the links in it.

04:27 You're not going to be left out alone here. But what you'll see is you'll see a slide. And I said, okay, what is my why? Why do I want to do this? And I and I went through this process. And you need to do the same thing. It's this is an industrial platform. You have to think about a platform that you can create that is in it. It creates a bond between you, your customers, your partners, your, your even your prospects. So it's simple. If I'm talking to you and you're on the podcast, we're creating a bond, right? It's, it's, it's spectacular. And I and I, I did not realize that when I went down this road. So it's, it's a really a great bond creating situation. It is a really valuable, this podcast, once it's produced, it's a valuable sales, marketing, branding asset. It's an asset and look at it as an asset and you can take that content, slice dice and do everything you possibly can with that particular product, that asset, it is all about the other.

05:35 It helps others, right? It is truly a helpful, beneficial marketing sales solution. It is also, you know, everybody saw, it talks about [inaudible], how do I create content? How do I, and you sit down and you adapt your computer and you start plugging away at trying to create, it's hard. Here is a platform that I can communicate, create content, slice it up, transcribe it, get it out there. I could create blogs, I can do everything from this individual podcast and I'm just, this is why I do this. It's about attention. It's about marketing, it's about sales. But more importantly branding, but very Mo, more importantly, is about the value it brings to your customers, your partners. And your prospects, they like it. It's important people like doing them. It also gains in that conversation. In this back and forth, it gains market intelligence. You truly hear from your prospects, from your customers, from internal extra, it doesn't really matter what are some of the market challenges, what are the behaviors that are taking place in the market and it also creates a platform for digital compounding.

06:59 Okay, here's an example one, I do a podcast and I do a podcast for X, okay? And then I will promote that podcast. They will promote that podcast and if they have customers that are on that poker podcast, they will also promote and then that customer can promote it to their prospects. See, it has a compounding effect and you leverage, you leverage as much as you possibly can out of that one single podcast, but it doesn't stop there. And I, and I'm just telling you, I just realized this. Now I get to squeeze as much content and repurpose not just from a video. I could create snippets. I can do all of this stuff from this particular podcast that highlights the individual that highlights the value you're bringing and you know what? It helps people, it helps people to do their job better. Everybody, and I mean everybody wins and that's why you need to, no matter what.

08:06 It could be me, it could be others, it could be internal, it could be external, I don't care, but you need to really thoroughly that the necessity to bring in podcasting into your portfolio of your sales marketing, branding, and we're going to go into great detail on why that is important because we're just going to continue to just sort of granularity, but right now you need to do it and I just highly recommend this will be out there on industrial talk.com you need to look at it today, figure it out, contact me. I don't care. I will help you in any way, shape or form. You just need to do it. Thank you very much for joining the industrial talk abroad podcast people. Be brave. Dare greatly change the world. That's what we're all about. Look forward to talking to you. Where do you know what we're going to talk about next time? We're going to be talking about the old way, the old way of communicating. So thank you very much. Look forward to seeing you on the next series of why you need to podcast.
