How to Build a Profitable Podcast with Travis Chappell
11/12/20 • 32 min
Travis Chappell grew up in a strictly religious bubble, and ended up getting a degree in ministry. He realized that wasn’t his path, but because his degree wasn’t from an accredited institution, he didn’t have much to fall back on, so he got into door-to-door sales, but because he wasn’t a part of the corporate world, he couldn’t do much with that sales experience and nobody would hire him. That’s when he discovered the world of podcasting.
So why podcasting?
- Podcasting allowed for the freedom and networking Travis desired. Much of what podcasting is revolves around networking and relationship building.
- Podcasting is a valuable tool and asset to have in your repertoire, but the prescription and the reasoning behind it varies depending on each person’s individual situation.
- Podcasting is by far the least saturated of all social platforms. According to Travis, there are half a billion blogs, 31 million YouTube channels, a million books that come out every year, a billion people on instagram, 1.7 billion people facebook, nearly a billion people on LinkedIn, and nearly a billion on TikTok. There are only 1 million podcasts.
Things to keep in mind when you launch your podcast:
- Find your niche first. Too many people start too broad.
- Know there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy for growth.
- Know that you won’t see gratification instantly, but your future self will thank you for the work you’re putting in today. Delayed gratification is an important aspect of podcasting.
- Be honest, genuine, and transparent.

MASTERCLASS: How to Master and Double Your Sales
Hello Heart Centered Entrepreneurs! Let’s talk about sales: why they are crucial to your business and how to be great at it! In this episode, we’re going to dive deep into two things: what you should be doing before a sales call, and what you should be doing on a sales call.
Sales calls are the way to do it! If you’re going to charge more than $500 for something, you’re going to want to get on a call with someone to sell to them. For something less than $500, you could always get on a short call, or you can just close it via messenger or email.
Here’s what you should focus on BEFORE your call:
- Lead quality: you have to have quality control when it comes to your leads. Quality is more important than anything.
- Nurturing: your leads need to be nurtured so that they are HOT leads, warmed and spiced up BEFORE you ask them to get on a call with you.
- Transparency: Don’t disguise your call as a discovery call or a strategy call. Be transparent with your intentions.
Here’s what you should do ON your call:
- Flow: having a script is a good place to start, but you need to know how a call flows. Preface the call with their pain points and problems, then ask what their goals are, and then let them know how you can be the bridge between their pain points and their goals
- Sell to serve! Don’t sell just to make money, sell because you want to serve people.
- Have a flexible plan: Have 2-3 options for people to be able to comfortably pay. If someone can’t pay upfront, have a payment plan option.
What NOT to do on a sales call:
- DON’T follow a script
- DON’T be a pushy, aggressive, car salesman

Heart Centered Sales with Kate Perkovic
I used to HATE this topic, because I was never sure if I was able to do it right. My guest this week is Kate Perkovic, a business coach specializing in heart-centered sales. After dabbling in health coaching, she realized it wasn’t really for her, so she pivoted to business coaching. This social worker-turned-sales coach now goes by the name of the Sales Sweetheart and coaches others in the closing of high-ticket sales.
When it comes to sales, telling people they HAVE to decide in the moment, the guilt tactics (“if you do this, you won’t succeed”), the pressure... that is NOT the way to go!
Kate has been able to bring elements of social work into sales and truly transform the process into one that is about service, and about the transformation of the client and their needs over yours.
In this episode, we’re going to dive deep into how to approach your sales from a heart-centered perspective, how to find balance in your business, and figuring out how to find the right price point for you so that you can serve to the best of your ability.
