7 Podcasts every rep should listen to level up the game

This minutes read

It can be quite daunting for a new sales rep to keep up with the industry standards and also have time to learn more about selling. There's alot more that goes into being a killer sales pro than just being a people-person, and a persuasion expert. The top performing salespeople spend an incredible amount of time expertly juggling, learning new techniques, and reviewing their fundamentals.

In fact, according to this Harvard Business Review research paper, top performers spend twice as much time in training as they do in actual selling!

This means they spend considerable time learning new things before doing actual work. So, if you're already spending too much time catching up with new trends and mastering your craft, you might not want to spend even more of your precious time reading blogs or watching videos.

And since written or visual communication might not always offer you as much value as expected, here's a list of some of the best sales podcasts that will help you balance the new and the basics!

1. SELL OR DIE 

When I heard that Jeffrey Gitomer had teamed up with Jennifer Gitomer to release a podcast, I knew I had to check it out. As someone who's read The Little Red Book of Selling, 15 other of Jeffrey's best-selling books and listened to countless interviews with him, I was curious if this new medium would be able to capture the same spirit that Jeffrey's books and speaking engagements have.

And yes, it has!

2. SALES GRAVY PODCAST

Each episode of this podcast is centered on a specific topic, ranging from sales best practices to personal branding. It's hosted by Jeb Blount, an author, salesman, and motivational speaker. He gives practical advice that can be put into practice. The length of each episode varies from small of 5 to 10 minutes to lengthy ones. The important thing is that no matter how busy your day is, you can always listen to them.

3. Selling Made Simple And Salesman Podcast

4. Sales Enablement 

Andy Paul, the founder of The Sales House, is the host of the podcast Accelerate!
