A lot of business start out as a podcast guest before they start hosting their own show. It’s a great strategy for a few reasons:
- You get a chance to practice your on-air presence
- You get exposure to new audiences
- You get to connect with the hosts of the shows you guest on, who can become amazing partners down the road.
- You can test out different offers and opt-ins on different audiences to see how they perform.
That’s really just scratching the surface, but as a “getting started in audio marketing” strategy, it can’t be beat.
If you do, and it starts to work, then you’re probably going to want your own podcast at some point… or your audience will start demanding it.
That’s what happened to my guest today.
Nikki Rausch is the CEO of Sales Maven, a three-time Author, host of the Sales Maven Podcast, and has over 25 years of selling experience, helping entrepreneurs and small business owners sell successfully and authentically. Not only that, she is extremely generous with her time and her knowledge.
Nikki is podcasting to incredible effect, using multiple episode formats for specific different goals and in today’s episode, you’ll get to hear all of them.

My book, Podcasting for Business is coming out this September — learn more about it here.
Podcasting for Business
Next week I’ve got a very special episode for you. You may already know that I’m publishing a book this year! It’s called Podcasting for Business, and by the time next week’s episode drops, it’s going to be available for pre-order.
And anyone who pre-orders is going to get a totally free ticket to the All Virtual and All Recorded Podcasting for Business Conference, happening this November 13th-15.
To celebrate, I’ll be doing a reading of one of my favorite chapters, which I won’t spoil now with a preview. I’ll also be sharing the details of how you can pre-order the book and get your free ticket to PFBCon.
