SB000: The Soft Launch Episode

iTunes Art WorkAttention:

This is a special blog post in preparation for the upcoming Sales Babble podcast. I’m enlisting a small set of people who I trust and admire to review this first “practice” podcast.  There are  a number of steps that must be accomplished in order to publish an episode. I’m using this post as a means of testing those steps.It would be great if you could help out!

This episode is nine minutes in length. I’m looking for advice  regarding:

  • Sound Quality
  • Relevance
  • Professionalism
  • Any thing you’d like to share that might have value

My goal is to have this podcast published in iTunes shortly, however I’m told it could take awhile before the submission is approved. When that happens,  I would appreciate it if you would subscribe to the Sales Babble podcast, in iTunes, at that time.

Most likely I will delete this posting on March 22nd if not sooner.  That is the  launch date. Which begs the question, what are  my plans for the launch?   I explain all this in the podcast,  but for your convenience, here’s a brief synopsis:

  • March 15th – Soft Launch – a few close friends will have access and provide input into my first published episode
  • March 22nd – The Public Launch  of Episode 1. This episode will define and explain the goals and plans of Sales Babble.

If you’ve not already done so, please take a moment and subscribe to Sales Babble;  both on the website and in iTunes. I’d love it if you could give me a positive review iTunes, plus retweet my promotional tweets, and  share my promotional Facebook postings.  Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

At the end of this blog post is a media player. It’s right below these words. Please click play. Do it now!

Thanks Sales Babbler!

  1. Sounds good. Very professional voice and tone. You exude confidence in what you are talking about.

  2. You might check the time zone setting in WordPress. It is currently 9:20pm 3/11/14 and the post I just made is dated 2:19am 3/12/14.

    1. Done! And this is exactly the kind of input I’m on the look-out for. Now’s the time to polish. Thank you!

  3. Hey Pat,

    Well I listened to Episode 0 and I really liked it! The sound quality sounds great to me, and I really enjoy listening to your voice. I thought your description of the podcast- purpose, ideal listeners, future content- was clear, knowledgeable and compelling. Great work- I’m in!

    I subscribed on itunes and submitted a review, so that should pop up somewhere.. I noticed a typo in the itunes description, second line: ‘… sales ared discussed.’

    I liked the personal touch, sharing that the podcast was launched on your dad’s birthday. He’d be well proud I’m sure..

    I’ve ticked the box to be notified of follow-up comments so I can check that all works for you.

    1. Layne I really appreciate your input. I’ll fix the description in iTunes. I have some new artwork to load and will be in there later today. Again thank you!

  4. Nice job Pat. Voice quality is excellent and very clear. Best of luck with this new endeavor.
