Summary
SO many women are feeling called to step into their bigger purpose and share their message on a stage or a podcast or in the media, and I agree...the world needs to hear your stories, so today I'm giving you three tips to help you land more speaking and interview opportunities!
Having a live event and now a podcast, I've had the chance to be on the receiving end of literally hundreds of messages at this point, from people pitching themselves to be an event speaker or podcast guest. I LOVE hearing from all of you and it's super flattering that anyone even cares about what we're doing enough to pitch themselves...I've also been able to see what works (and what definitely doesn't)
In this episode you will learn:
- That HOW you approach an event host or podcast host is everything (and what to say)
- What to be prepared with before you send your pitch
- Why follow up is critical
