Podcast listeners -> customers in less time. | Listen to "The Podmaster" for free tips and insights | Podcasting 'OG' (since '01) | One of Rephonic's "6 Must-Follow podcast coaches" (stalk featured section).

You'll already be a guaranteed top 5 percent podcaster just by working with my company, Podknows Podcasting.
Did you know, 92% of new podcasts fail before they’ve even started?
Ours don’t. We don’t leave success to chance. We make it happen.

Podcasts don’t fail because people aren’t trying. They fail because they’re missing strategy.

That’s where Podknows Podcasting is different.

We don’t hand over a checklist of tips and leave you to figure it out for yourself.
We don't just get you to send your audio to us, chop it up, and then return it to you saying "here ya go mate."

We take charge.
We create strategic, results-driven podcasts that grow audiences, attract sponsors, and position you as a trusted authority in your space.

Audio quality is a given.
What matters is the outcome: brand growth, stronger relationships, and measurable return on investment.

Here are just a few examples:

A B2B client in the outdoor industry grew their audience one hundredfold and secured thirty thousand dollars in sponsorship within twelve months (The Rock Fight)

A mental health brand reached the top five percent of podcasts in just a month, landed speaking engagements, and built her entire offering around the podcast (Different, Not Broken)

A travel business used their podcast to secure luxury bookings and national television appearances

Who we work with includes brands and founders who want their podcast to be a strategic asset, podcasters ready to grow their impact, influence, and income, and businesses that want expert help avoiding being one of the 92 percent who fail.

We begin with a detailed audience blueprint, build a custom strategy, and produce weekly content designed for growth and easy repurposing across email, social media and even books!

We are a small team of expert creatives, but I personally lead every project.
I direct your strategy, guide your recordings, polish your production, and run the campaigns that turn listeners into leads.

Why trust me?
I’ve been podcasting since 2001, long before it became a trend.
I also bring more than two decades of radio experience and award-winning audience expertise.
My clients have landed major sponsorships, multiplied their audiences, and been featured on national television.

I don’t just help you launch a podcast.
I make it work for you.
Let’s talk.

Institute of Ethical Selling

The Institute of Ethical Selling (IES) was founded on the belief that trust, transparency, and integrity should be at the heart of every sales interaction. 

It is dedicated to transforming the sales profession by providing education, resources, and certification for individuals and organizations committed to ethical practices.

The mission is to create a global movement that elevates the standards of sales, ensuring that both buyers and sellers thrive in a relationship built on trust.

Why Ethical Selling Matters...

- Ethical selling is the foundation of lasting success in today’s business landscape.

- Unethical practices may lead to short-term gains but often result in customer distrust, legal risks, and damage to your brand.

- Ethical selling enhances your credibility and builds stronger client relationships. By prioritising honesty and transparency, you reduce stress, improve job satisfaction, and position yourself as a trusted advisor.

Ethical practices not only benefit your clients but also boost your long-term success and career growth.

Hybrid Selling

Are you ready for the next evolution of sales?

Selling is changing, and sales professionals need to keep in touch with the latest trends to stay relevant and further their careers.

Hybrid Selling does not just cover the clever use of tools and technology: it defines the way salespeople can adapt to a future that needs a multi-faceted approach to drive success.

The book 'Hybrid Selling - How salespeople can use a complete approach to drive opportunities in the new world of sales' acts as a guide in this area

It covers

- What are the essentials of selling as a foundation for winning business
- How virtual selling techniques and innovative tools can give you an edge
- How to manage sales opportunities based on delivering outcomes
- Why salespeople must embrace the skill of leading customers
- What value really is and how to create it with – and for – customers
- The key elements needed to expand meaningful business relationships

Selling Through Partnering Skills

‘Selling Through Partnering Skills’ looks at the evolving world of sales and sets out what people need to do to refine their approach. It explores how they can take it to the next level through understanding partnering intelligence (PQ) and using the innovative VALUE Framework.

Classic, Consultative, Value Based and Enterprise selling are all considered using existing and more modern thinking, together with advice on practical application of the most relevant techniques.

Put simply, it helps individuals and businesses improve how they sell in the modern sales environment so they will achieve better results.

Konsälidön

We are at a crossroads.

Ideas and models which defined the consulting industry are no longer as effective and viable as they were in the past. Clients expect more from their advisors as they require that much more to survive in today’s market.

Konsälidön is the tipping point ushering in the new era in consulting. We have built a first-of-its-kind digital platform to connect organizations with consulting teams more efficiently than in the traditional consulting partnership model. 

Our platform enables us to operate an agile, decentralized and distributed global consulting firm with very low overheads – which means that our clients see work with senior experts for faster more impactful results.

This, we believe, is the future of consulting.

Sales is changing... are you?

MEET FRED ► Over the last 25 years I have travelled round the world 14 times visiting 37 countries and working with over 10,000 salespeople

YOUR CHALLENGES ► Salespeople involved in complex B2B sales often struggle with these issues:

• ‘Busy Busy Busy’ 
– this is being ineffective. It results in wasted opportunities, is tiring and stressful and means the focus is on the wrong activities to deliver results

• ‘Olde Worlde’ 
– this is being old fashioned. It is when salespeople are too self-centred rather than customer focused, too technical in their approach or use bad techniques better suited to a bygone era of selling

• ‘Muddled Mindset’
 – this is being misaligned. It can happen at organisation, management and individual level and means that the confusion leads to frustration and wasted effort

SOLUTIONS ► Salespeople can use a ‘partnering mindset’ to develop more a modern and collaborative approach to working with customers. #CollaborativeSelling

This helps by:
 
• Countering ‘Busy Busy Busy’ by becoming more effective. 
- Prepare to make the most of opportunities
- Plan to balance work and reduce stress
- Process to focus on the right activity

• Countering ‘Olde Worlde’ by getting up to date. 
- Flip attention to the world of the customer
- Follow an approach that identifies issues rather than forces a solution
- Focus on things that actually work rather than old school tricks

• Countering ‘Muddled Mindset’ by creating better alignment. 
- Clarity within the organisation
- Coaching by management 
- Confirmation for individuals they are doing things right

WHY ME ► Using my experience to understand what's needed to be successful in sales today I wrote my first book 'Selling Through Partnering Skills’ 

Yet selling continues to change at pace, and sales professionals need to keep in touch with the latest trends to stay relevant I wrote my second book ‘Hybrid Selling’

Recognising what customers are really looking for is the reason behind book three ‘Ethical Selling’

We talk about these things on the podcast I host – ‘Sales Today’ 

LET’S TALK ► Ring the bell 🔔 on my profile to get notified about my posts. DM me or book straight into my diary for a chat here: https://calendly.com/fredcopestake 

OUTSIDE OF WORK ► Sport especially rugby (which I used to referee), travel to Spanish speaking countries, food and drink. We have three cats Oscar, Luna and Caspar

MY GOAL ► It's all about 'good people doing good things in a good way'
