Are you looking to take your sales and marketing career to the next level?

Are you a professional looking to make use of your extra time to learn something new in sales and marketing?

Sales and marketing podcasts are great (i.e. engaging, fun, fatigue-free) way to consume knowledge whether you are a beginner or a leader in the industry. 

But most podcast lists on the web are full of popular junk. 

Let’s just reflect on that statement

These are podcasts by popular celebrities of their respective industries with only a select few sales/marketing focused episodes in the entire month. 

Podcasts are meant to share bite-sized content and insights in a quickly digestible format. Some of the most popular podcasts defeat the purpose of their creation with long, movie-like episodes. 

But hey podcast lovers, we are here to your rescue!

In this article, we will share a list of the top 10 podcasts suitable for sales and marketing professionals of all levels – whether they are a beginner, pro, or an industry leader. These podcasts are packed with useful and actionable content and are a breeze to listen to. 

Why so many people love to listen to podcasts (and why you should try them too!)

Once you start listening to podcasts, it’s hard to stop.

Why?

Probably because:

  • They are portable (not to mention FREE!)
  • They don’t consume all your attention; you can listen to podcasts while doing something else.
  • They are great for education
  • Many podcast hosts are experts who deliver great insights – you get industry secrets straight from the horse’s mouth! (Although, I have never heard of a podcast with an actual horse as a host!)
  • They are a great way to discover new personalities and experts in your industry.

Here are some of the best Digital Marketing and Content Marketing podcasts

To grow your marketing career, it’s important to network with like-minded professionals.

According to musicoomph podcast statistics, podcast listeners:

  • are 68% more likely to have a postgraduate degree
  • are 45% more likely to have a net household income of a quarter of a million dollars ($250,000), making almost half of them to be high net-worth individuals

If you want to make connections with these individuals and exchange knowledge and opportunities with them, start by joining a community of regular podcast listeners in your profession. 

But which marketing podcasts are worth your time?

Here are a few to consider.

1. Marketing School

This podcast brings us digital marketing knowledge and growth marketing insights in bite-sized pieces. 

There are two things that I love about this podcast:

  • Their tips are extremely focused and immediately actionable. Both Neil and Eric never waiver from the topic of the episode.
  • All episodes are full of knowledge, and there is no “irrelevant” junk in them

Just look at their latest episodes (as of writing this article):

The podcast listeners give it rave reviews.

In short, if you are anywhere in the Digital Marketing ecosystem – regardless of your role or your level of experience – you have to listen to this podcast regularly.

On the business side of their use cases, podcasts are a potent content marketing tool to:

Sales podcasts can cover a wide variety of topics because Sales itself is an overarching category. 

For e-commerce stores, B2C Sales podcasts would be relevant whereas salespeople selling to businesses and enterprises would be interested in B2B Sales podcasts.

This is a well-balanced sales and marketing podcast that interviews thought leaders and influencers from diverse backgrounds.

Too often, salespeople and sales managers get stuck on specific issues such as:

This podcast is generally focused on sports marketing, entrepreneurship, and personal development. Rob has a regular segment on his show that he intuitively calls “Wake & Bacon”. 

Wake & Bacon is a category of small 5-10 minute episodes designed to give you energy and motivation in the morning. Although, I would personally argue that this segment would appeal to salespeople and managers at any time of the day – whether they want to start the day with enthusiasm or end their long day with positive reassurance.
