Engaging Marketeer

In this edition of the Engaging Marketeer, I am speaking a man who was awarded the title of Britain's Sales Trainer of the Year, one of the biggest selling geniuses around, Andy Bounds. Among his many accomplishments, Andy has written three extremely successful books on selling, which at one point were only kept off top spot by Harry Potter.

Andy’s helpful, accessible and relatable tips on selling have even transformed our proposal process here at Engage Web. I’m talking to Andy about techniques of selling, building rapport and closing sales. If you’re trying to improve the methods and results of your sales team, this is the podcast for you.

This week on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm speaking to entrepreneur, businessperson, influencer marketing guru and wine-making extraordinaire, Katherine Jones. As director of both the We Are SM influencer marketing agency and the ThinK Wine Group, Katherine has clearly demonstrated that she can excel in more than one industry.

Kath and I are discussing the nature of running businesses in these two distinctive, fairly unrelated industries. While on the one hand, Katherine is excelling in the still relatively recent field of influencer social media marketing, her ThinK Wine Group is also challenging the outdated conventions and practices within the wine industry.

To contact Katherine regarding her businesses, she advises finding her on LinkedIn or emailing her to her respective email addresses.

About Katherine Jones

Born in raised in Liverpool, Katherine not only had a natural talent for business, she also possessed a keen desire to travel. When she had the opportunity to work for the Marriott hotel chain in Louisville, Kentucky, she snapped at the opportunity. She says this experience helped her to become much more confident, which she has carried through to her successful business career.

Today, Kath is the head of two prospering, yet entirely distinctive, businesses, using her experiences in business to forge her own lane across different industries.

In this installment of the Engaging Marketeer podcast, I want to talk about something that can be extremely useful for businesses, particularly agencies, as a way of becoming stronger and much more valuable.

Known as a skills matrix, this method of detailing and managing your employees' various capabilities can be particularly practical when dealing with things such as absences, holiday requests and requests for pay rises, ensuring that your business is never missing out on team members that can do some of the most important tasks within your business.

Please feel free to get in touch with me if you use this method or are looking to begin doing so, maybe as a result of seeing this podcast. As always, remember to subscribe and stay tuned to the Engaging Marketeer, with new episodes arriving every week on YouTube, as well as a variety of podcast platforms.

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I must talk, yet again, about how companies are using social media to promote their business. Unfortunately, I seem to have the exact same conversations with people about how NOT to use social media, but it seems as though nobody learns from their mistakes.

When used properly, Facebook groups can be a valuable tool for your business. However, if you simply use these groups in the same lazy, unimaginative ways as everybody else, you will not drive any business through Facebook groups. Many people have tried to dispute this but, as I explain in this episode, it is a fact. Thankfully, I can show you how you can actually use Facebook groups to your advantage.

For more constructive and educational marketing discussions, as well as a range of fantastic interviews with special guests, make sure you are subscribed to the Engaging Marketeer podcast on YouTube, as well as any other podcast platform you use.

This week on the Engaging Marketeer podcast, I'm speaking to comedian, entertainer, pantomime actor and much more, Phil Reid. Phil has been in the stand-up comedy and entertainment industry for well over a decade and has always been interested in making people laugh, whether it be his classmates, audiences full of people or just his dad!

In this episode, Phil and I discuss his initial upbringing in comedy, what made him want to pursue the difficult vocation of stand-up, his appreciation of other comedians and the shape of his career today given his versatility as a cruise ship performer and pantomime actor.

Phil performs in venues all over country, so if you're interested in stand-up, you may be lucky enough to see him live near you soon enough.

In this edition of the Engaging Marketeer, I'm diving into a new Facebook feature that has been introduced within Facebook groups.

When used effectively, this feature can have major benefits if you're trying to market your business on Facebook. In contrast, this feature could come back to bite you in the form of lost followers, leads, sales and even customers if it is misused.

Today, I give you a rundown of everything I have learned about this new feature since I have discovered it, and how I think the feature can be used sensibly as a exceptionally useful tool for marketing your business. Unfortunately, there is a chance that the feature may not exist in Facebook groups for too long if it is overused or misused, so now is the time to find out how it may benefit you.

Be sure to subscribe to the Engaging Marketeer podcast on whichever platforms you use to listen to podcasts. Stay up to date with the latest key industry developments that your business can use to its advantage, as well as the number of interviews we have upcoming with a variety of special guests.

In this installment of The Engaging Marketeer, I talk with motivational speaker and best-selling author Paul McGee a.k.a The SUMO guy. Paul has been speaking in public for well over two decades, guiding his audiences with his ethos of 'Shut up and move on', which he has developed into a self-development philosophy that has helped countless people. The success of SUMO has been compounded by Paul's success as an author, publishing a total of 13 books, with his original SUMO book becoming a Sunday Times bestseller.

Paul and I discuss the origins of SUMO and how SUMO has helped him recover from setbacks in his own life. We talk about Paul's involvement with Premier League football teams such as Manchester City, revealing some of the similarities and differences in the ways that elite athletes adapt and respond to change as compared to the general public.

Paul has spent much of his professional life inspiring and helping others, although massive success was not simply handed to him on a plate, as he reveals in this episode.

About Paul McGee

Paul McGee is a hugely successful public speaker, business coach and training expert. However, before he was the SUMO guy, Paul was forced to live by the mantra of 'Shut up and move on' well before it helped him become a motivational icon. Plagued by myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome) in his early adult life, Paul had no choice but to become a self-employed motivational trainer. Despite an early lack of success, Paul's determination helped him to become a massively successful figure in motivational speaking and self-development.

Paul still takes his SUMO principles to businesses and institutions all over the country and beyond, and he can now be found on a variety of social media platforms, where he shares brand new video content.

It's time for a bit of a rant on today's episode of the Engaging Marketeer. Unfortunately, I've received word of some ridiculous behaviour within the digital marketing industry, involving supposedly 'stolen' websites and some frankly laughable legal action. I feel compelled to address the sheer audacity of the news I've caught wind of, and while I probably could have gone further into rant mode because of how strongly I feel about this issue, I just had to get some of this off my chest.

If you've been on the end of some of the genuinely odd behaviour similar to what is referred to in this podcast, do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me a message, I would be more than happy to help.
