In this week's Industrial Talk Podcast we are continuing our series about Why You Need To Podcast! Again a podcast strategy is vital to improving your Sales and Marketing opportunities and to humanizes your Brand in 2020.

In this Industrial Talk Podcast episode, we talk about the easy way to Create Meaningful Content from just one podcast. As well as how to re-purpose past blogs, reports and webinars by bringing in the power of humanizing through your podcast platform. Be Bold, Be Brave, Dare Greatly and Change the World!

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:(00:00):

All right. Welcome to the industrial talk podcast. Oh, glad that you are here. We continue our while. You need a podcast series. We had talked about the why and why it humanizes content and the the benefits associated with the podcast. In prior episodes we talked about the marketing and, and that target market. Oh, who can be on it, why it's important, win-win strategy, compounding of that content, all of the positives associated with a platform like this. And now we're going to venture into the actual content creation of, of this platform and how it can just multiply. But I just want to make sure that we reiterate one thing and that is there's a numbness out there. There's, once again, and I referenced it into in a prior podcast, and there's a numbness. There is a content numbness. I take my stock photo, I slap my, my logo on it.

(00:57):

It's a person carrying a computer and we've, you know, we're all important and we talk about whatever blog it might be or whatever report it might be, but it becomes very numbing. And so when you think that you're posting any, I think that [inaudible] and you're doing it, but, but you think people are gonna look at it. Uh, probably 99 times out of a hundred, they're not going to look at just because it's the same. There's this just, you know, Lake of sameness out there of content. And so your goal and what we gotta try to accomplish here is how do we get attention in a world of numbness, right? And one of the challenges that we're going to be addressing throughout this particular, uh, series in content creation is that boredom. Uh, this is how it happens each and every day or whatever it might be.

(01:50):

Uh, I got a report, I got to find a graphic. So I find a graphic, I slap my logo on it, I post it to my digital platforms and I don't track it. I don't do anything. I've, you know, in essence, I've, I've created the content and I just posted it. That is boredom. That doesn't achieve what you want to achieve out of people reading and consuming that content. And that is you being a thought leader. Your company, uh, is, uh, designed for solving problems. So that's what we're talking about here. How do we get past that boredom to the platform, the podcast platform? Once again, you get into it or you find somebody to do it. Either way it's in house or, or you, you figure it out because it, it does a great job and it, and it really pushes off that boredom.

(02:43):

So, uh, we're going to go into it and I, I classify, uh, the content into sort of three categories. You've got the macro and if you're out there on the old video, you're going to see it. You're going to say, Oh, okay, there's the macro content. There is the micro content, which is smaller of course. And then there's the ultra micro content. And that is your engagement. You can't be out there thinking that, okay, I posted my podcast or I posted my content and I posted whatever it might be and not, and think that people are going to be engaging because you have to be engaging yourself. Okay? So we start, if you're out there on the video, we start with a simple one. And the simple one is the, uh, macro content creation, right? And that means from my perspective, as I look at the creation of content, I look at the macro as a podcast top of the heap, right?

(03:47):

It is designed to be able to generate all that great information, a blog which you put a lot of time, energy and...

In this week's Industrial Talk Podcast we are continuing our series about Why You Need To Podcast! Again a podcast strategy is vital to improving your Sales and Marketing opportunities and to humanizes your Brand in 2020.

Now let's create Raving Ambassadors with your Podcast Platform. These are individuals and companies that love your product, service and/or solution. They deserve a "series" about them and what they do to solve problems. Powerful content, focused on them, they love you for it and will speak in glowing terms about you and your company. You want to close a deal, have your Prospect talk to your Ambassador. Give you the "Swag" to really close the deal. Learn more in this episode of How to Create Raving Ambassadors. Be Bold, Be Brave, Dare Greatly and Change the World!

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:00:00 Hi there Scott, MacKenzie, again, thank you very much for joining the industrial talk podcast. We are continuing our series on why you need a podcast, which is very important. It's gotta be a part of your platform, your digital marketing, your, your sales funnel development, uh, your branding. And, and I've harped on that. Either you do it internally or you find somebody to do it, but either or [inaudible] you gotta make it happen because it's a powerful tool, powerful platform. And, and, uh, it's uh, designed for success. And that's what we're all about. Now. We've gone through the sales funnel, you know, just sort of lay out of your target market. We've got internal, we've got your partners, we got your customers and we've got you even your targeted prospects. Within that, we highlight the heroes, the philanthropy. That's what you can do on a podcast platform and get it out there over and over again.

00:56 Now the last one, which is just sort of a result of that effort, is you create raving ambassadors. Those are the individuals that are going to sit there and go, wow, these are wonderful. I really enjoy. They just aren't just raving and vast. You, you have created the know, like and trust throughout your process, which is vital to any sales cycle, but now you're going to be creating those raving ambassadors, those individuals, those companies that that believe and know you will deliver on your promise. You solve problems. You listen to them and create solutions that make them a success. They are your raving ambassadors. You can't get to the embassador level if you're not caring and feeding and and making them feel special and be able to provide solutions for them so that once again, the platform, the podcast platform is just so uniquely designed to be able to do that.

02:03 Once again, you find them, you can see how they get engaged, they're there, you know who they are and you, you could say, Hey, let's get you on a podcast again. Let's create a series. Let's talk a little bit about what you do and and the solutions you provide and the content that is all designed specifically for for what you deliver. Now, let's highlight that once again, a win win strategy and then all of a sudden the best recommendation comes from those individuals who just love your service or whatever you know, product, whatever it might be. That's why the podcast in this platform is a powerful platform for you and your sales. Okay, now we're going to wrap it up. I'm going to go into the content again, we're going to start talking a little bit about the content, the micro content and define whatever it micro is based off of this content generating machine called the podcast platform.

03:10 And then the ultra micro content don't get, you know, wrapped up with that. There's a, there's a logic in that. Now those are the categories that, that uh, I have selected. If you have another category that's all good and dandy and that's fine, but you get it there. We're going to break it down into three segments and why this, the...

In this week's Industrial Talk Podcast we are continuing our series about Why You Need To Podcast! Again a podcast strategy is vital to improving your Sales and Marketing opportunities and to humanizes your Brand in 2020.

Nothing is more humanizing than highlighting Heroes or Philanthropy on your podcast. Your content needs to always be about the Other and needs to touch the heart. Nothing is more moving than talking to someone that has overcome adversity and persevered against great odds. This content has a lasting impression on your listener and motivate and moves people to action. In this episode we discuss how to leverage this powerful content. Be Bold, Be Brave, Dare Greatly and Change the World!

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:00:00 Hey, greetings industrial talk podcast listeners. This is a continuation in our series of why you need to do podcasting. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of podcasting, but I think that you have to recognize that one, it's a great, a great opportunity for a sales funnel too. It's a great way to market your company and three, it's a wonderful way to brand, but more importantly it brings out that human side that that a human element, you humanize your content, which then differentiates your content from all the other content that's out there that people are numb to. So what we're going to be talking about in this particular episode, we've already talked about getting your internal, your partners, your customers, and then of course targeting your, your prospects using this platform. All the how to is out there on the industrial talk podcast. And now we're going to venture into the reality of being able to have this podcast to highlight.

00:56 This is when it becomes really human to highlight the heroes and the highlight, the philanthropy and, and the good that companies are doing, the good that people are doing and being able to communicate that message and to be able to communicate that, that vision of what they are they're trying to do to change the world. And that's what this is all about. So when we start talking about the hero, let's say you have a company and you get a story about somebody that's done something spectacular, all right? Something that's really sort of self sacrificing. You have a platform to be able to bring them on and to inspire people. You inspire through the stories of others. That's what podcast he can do. And because you have it, you're able to sort of lock and load and make them happen and, and, and turn that around and get that content out there to inspire more people.

01:51 So now you take that hero component and now you talk about maybe, maybe, maybe your prospects have heroes and you have that conversation, Hey, do you have anybody that has inspired you because they just sort of give of themselves and expecting nothing in return? And then you'd say, Hey, he's prospect. Is it possible to get that person on the podcast? And of course you're going to say yes because it's, it's a story that has to be told. That same approach happens with your customers. That same approach happens with your partners. And so now you can see how this is a content generating machine of course. But more importantly, now you're talking about the heart. Now you're talking about the soul. Now you're talking about truly inspiring type of stories that bring greater attention of course to your company, but also what, what really means to be alive.

02:48 And that's one, one element of why this is so important. Do it for the heroes. It's always a great conversation. It always just keeps on going. And what about your, what do you like to do? I like to give to st Jude. I like to be able to be able to provide that because I think they do great, great work. And of course they do. And there are many companies that [inaudible], um, organizations out there that do the...
