Being a guest on someone else’s podcast or online show is a valuable visibility strategy. First, you are in front of a new audience and second, you are borrowing credibility and influence from that host.

But most importantly, in my 22 years of marketing expert-based businesses, sharing your message in front of a new audience is the best way to attract ideal clients.

As hot as this strategy is, less than 30% of the experts being featured on podcasts are experiencing a good ROI from their effort. Since I’ve successfully monetized being a guest expert over and over for the last 10 years, I’ve discovered that many coaches, consultants and service providers actually miss some key factors during the interview!

On episode 324 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I’ll share what it takes to deliver a podcast interview that can attract a steady stream of ideal clients and new opportunities.

Join us in the Amplify Your Authority Facebook Group to unpack all 7 of the steps in my 7 Step Plan to Get Booked, Get Leads and Get 5 Figure Clients by Leveraging Other People's Audiences.

Takeaways

  • [3:57] The problem with so many people in an industry clamoring over the same client attraction strategy.
  • [6:05] What the most common problem is when an entrepreneur’s podcast guesting strategy isn’t delivering a good ROI.
  • [13:44] The importance of picking the right audiences, podcasts and shows to share your message to.
  • [15:57] How to use intentional credibility boosting stories that act like a magnet to potential clients.
  • [17:38] My “breadcrumbs to binge” technique that creates a prospect nurturing effect.
  • [19:50] Why its critical to have a compelling invitation from each interview (and what to do once that new connection claims it.)
  • [22:25] Update on Amplify Your Success Podcast listeners doubling in the last three months.

     [18:12] The secret sauce that keeps members coming back year after year to your mastermind.

     [20:01] How to know when someone is a perfect fit for your mastermind group.

About the Guest

Chris spends most of his time raising his five kids, exploring world communities, and trying his hand at adventures like shark diving, ice climbing, running ultra marathons, and riding electric skateboards:)

In his spare time, he works with entrepreneurial and business experts, speakers, coaches, and leaders helping them market, monetize, and lead their own high-ticket mastermind (or group coaching) programs.

As the world continues to shift, many experts are trying to build high-ticket groups for additional income, lead generation, or impact. Chris teaches experts how to generate leads, close high-ticket deals, and build strong, transformational groups. He has his own digital agency, leads two masterminds of his own, and has learned many of these lessons the hard way, so sharing his journey and offering strategies is why he is here.

Entrepreneurs often need to generate fast cash to grow and sustain their business. And often, a new prospect needs to build trust in a service provider before they feel confident making bigger investments.

Easy yes offers are designed to be low-risk, low-commitment opportunities for customers to try a product or service. By making it easy for customers to say yes, entrepreneurs can quickly generate revenue and build a solid customer base.

Plus, easy yes offers can help to reduce customer objections and overcome any hesitations about trying a new product or service.

On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 322, Katrina Sawa joins me to show how to create and position these offers so that they lead to additional revenue (and happy clients!)
