Podcasting for Clients | Business Podcast Strategy that Turns Listeners into Clients | Podcast Guru

Details

People love your podcast. They tell you your show is really freaking good. They come back week after week. So why isn’t all that know, like and trust turning into enquiries, clients and sales? Podcasting for Clients is the business podcast strategy show for established service-based experts and founders who want to understand why their podcast isn’t bringing in clients and what to do about it. Because having people listen to your podcast, love what they hear and come back week after week is one thing. Getting the right people to decide they want to work with you is something else entirely. So if people are listening, loving what they hear and coming back for more…why isn’t that happening? Here’s where I want you to start thinking about podcasting for business differently. Nobody goes from “I loved your episode!” to “how do I pay you?” in one leap. Long before someone enquires, applies or buys, they’re making smaller decisions about their problem, what needs to change, whether they need help — and whether you’re the person they want that help from. Your podcast influences those decisions. When your podcast isn’t growing your business, it’s easy to assume you need to grow your podcast first: get more downloads, promote it more on social media, interview more podcast guests, publish more episodes or try the trending podcast growth tactic. But a perfectly solid podcast growth strategy can still be the wrong prescription for the problem. That's why business podcast strategy starts with understanding what's not working, not automatically doing more of what you've already tried. Tune in to hear: ✧ why people binge your podcast but don’t take the next step towards working with you ✧ how to create podcast episodes that help listeners make buying decisions ✧ where Decision Gaps appear between podcast listeners and paying clients ✧ how to spot what's stopping your podcast listeners from becoming paying clients ✧ why more downloads and better podcast marketing won’t necessarily bring in more clients ✧ how to align your podcast content and strategy with your offers and business goals ✧ how to identify what's not working so your podcast can generate more of the right enquiries, clients and sales Rosemarie, podcast strategist and founder of Evergreen Podcast Strategy™, takes a diagnosis-before-prescription approach to helping established business owners turn their podcasts into a more effective and profitable part of their business. If you're ready to understand why your podcast isn’t bringing in clients and start making more intentional decisions about your podcast, you're in the right place.

Why Looking at Your Podcast Alone Won't Tell You Why It Isn't Bringing You Clients [Ep 211]

You've lost count of how many times you've gone through your podcast, trying to work out why it isn't bringing you clients. You've looked at your episode titles, rewritten your descriptions, checked your podcast analytics and changed your calls to action. But people still aren't reaching out to work with you, and you're starting to wonder what else you need to fix. In this episode, we're looking at why you can't always work out what's stopping your podcast from bringing you clients by examining the podcast itself. You'll learn why downloads, episode content and calls to action only tell you part of the story, and why the answer might sit in your offer, your positioning or what happens after someone listens. Just because the podcast is where you can see the symptom doesn't mean it's where you'll find the cause. If you're starting to wonder whether the problem is actually in your podcast or somewhere else in your business, that's what I investigate inside the Decision Gap Diagnostic. I look at your podcast alongside your business, your buyer and your offer to work out where the listener-to-client journey is breaking down. If you'd like me to investigate that for your podcast, you can find the details here. RELATED EPISODES → What Role Is Your Podcast Actually Playing in Your Business?

Before You Fix Your Podcast, Make Sure You're Solving the Right Problem [Ep 210]

Your podcast isn’t bringing in the enquiries, clients or sales you expected. So you think, "maybe I need more listeners, stronger calls to action or better promotion." But how do you know that's actually the problem? In this episode, we look at why knowing your podcast isn't generating the business results you want doesn't tell you what's causing the problem. You'll learn how to distinguish what you've actually observed from what you've assumed, and why understanding where listeners are getting stuck matters more than jumping straight to another strategy. Your podcast not converting is a symptom. It's not a diagnosis. If you've got a theory about why your podcast isn't bringing you clients, but you're not sure what evidence supports it, that's exactly what we investigate inside the Decision Gap Diagnostic. We look at your podcast alongside your business, buyers and offer to identify where the disconnect is happening and what makes sense to address next. If you're ready to stop guessing which part of your podcast needs fixing, apply for a diagnostic. >> EPISODE MENTIONS AND LINKS The Enquiry Isn't The First Decision: How Podcast Listeners Become Clients [Ep 206] WHERE TO GO FROM HERE Decision Gap Diagnostic - Find out what's stopping your podcast from bringing in clients.

How to Structure a Podcast Episode That Moves Listeners Closer to Becoming Clients [Ep 209]

For a lot of experts and founders, episode planning looks like making a list of things you don't want to forget to say. But the order you want to say things isn't necessarily the order your listener needs to hear them. In this episode, we're looking at why structuring your podcast around talking points can leave listeners to make important connections for themselves, even when the content is genuinely useful. You'll learn how to plan around what your listener needs to understand next, so your episodes help her see her problem differently, reach a conclusion or make a decision she couldn't make when she pressed play. The structure isn't just the order of your talking points. It's the order your listener needs to hear them. If your listeners enjoy your episodes, find them useful and keep coming back, but that engagement isn't translating into business results, it's worth investigating where the disconnect is happening. Inside the Decision Gap Diagnostic, I look at your podcast in the context of your business, your buyer and your offer to identify what's getting in the way, whether that's missing connections in your content or something else entirely.

Every Podcast Episode Needs One Job. Here's How to Find It | Podcast Episode Planning [Ep 208]

You want your podcast episodes to build trust, showcase your expertise, handle objections, nurture listeners and make sales. So you squeeze seventeen things into one episode without deciding what that episode actually needs to accomplish. In this episode, we're looking at why every podcast episode needs one clear job: helping your listener understand, believe or recognise something that moves her closer to a decision. You'll learn how defining that job before you plan your content gives you a filter for what belongs in the episode, what doesn't, and what might be better saved for another conversation. Clarity doesn't come from saying everything. It comes from knowing what this episode needs to accomplish. If you're not sure what decisions your podcast is helping listeners make, or where they might be getting stuck between listening and becoming ready to work with you, that's something I investigate inside the Decision Gap Diagnostic. I look at your podcast alongside your business, buyers and offer to understand where the disconnect is happening and what needs attention.

Your Next Podcast Episode Starts With a Moment, Not a Topic | Podcast Content Strategy [Ep 207]

You've been podcasting for a while, and coming up with new episode ideas is getting harder. Not because you've run out of things to say, but because every new idea sounds like something you've already recorded. In this episode, we're looking at why your next podcast episode should start with a moment in your listener's world, not a topic on your content calendar. You'll learn how the same topic can serve completely different listener needs, and why understanding what's happening before someone starts searching for answers can help you create episodes that feel more relevant to the people you want to reach. Topics describe the information people consume. Moments explain why they're looking in the first place. If this episode has made you realise you've been planning around topics rather than the situations your ideal clients are actually navigating, the next question is whether your podcast is having the conversations they need. Inside the Decision Gap Diagnostic, I investigate your podcast alongside your business, buyers and offer to understand whether your content is meeting people where they are and where the disconnect might be happening.
