SHOW SUMMARY

Like all things worth doing, running a successful podcast that delivers value to your listeners while simultaneously generating revenue for your business doesn’t happen overnight. 

In this episode of the Salescast Podcast, our host Edward Purmalis continues his conversation with George Leith, Chief Customer Officer of Vendasta and the host of the Conquer Local podcast about the intricacies of the podcast as a medium, and how to get executive buy-in if you're running a podcast as a marketing tool for a company.

QUOTES

George's advice for podcasters that need to up their game: "Making sure that you're able to come up with strong metrics to prove ROI, training the team properly on what we're going to need to be able to deliver a great episode, and then taking that personal responsibility that George needs to up his game. Start listening to other great interviewers. Start watching other great interviewers." 

George on what he learned after building out a podcast from the ground up: "The one thing I like to tell people when they ask what have you learned most about building out a podcast, it's stick with it. You're not going to get instant gratification. You're not going to walk in one day after three episodes and have listeners in 50 different countries, 20,000 uniques — it just doesn't happen. It takes time. And the consistency is where the magic happens."
