Listen "How to Turn Your Podcast Into a Powerful Sales Tool —Meghan Dougherty | Ep 41"
Episode Synopsis
I got to sit down with Megan Dougherty, podcast strategist and author, for an honest conversation about what really makes a business podcast valuable. We dug into why downloads aren’t the magic number, how the real power of podcasting is all about building relationships (both with guests and listeners), and the surprising ways a podcast can make your sales process smoother—even if your audience is only a couple hundred people. Megan also shared some growing pains from her early days, why having clarity around your business goals for the show is crucial, and practical tips for not wasting time or money as you build your podcast. My hope is that you walk away with permission to define your own podcasting success and a reminder that trust and real connection matter so much more than chasing vanity metrics. Let’s keep showing up, experimenting, and building our own version of success!Take Your Business Podcast to the Next Level with Megan DaughertyReady to turn your podcast into a powerful, profitable asset for your business?
