Description

I’ve mentioned in previous episodes the general mistakes that people can make when pitching themselves for visibility opportunities. So this time, I’m going to dig a little deeper and share what a real-life bad pitch can look like!

Please note that it is NOT my intention to mock the work of other people. Each of the mistakes I cover here is incredibly common - and in some cases, I’ve made them myself. 

All I want to do is give you the confidence to get out there and start pitching yourself.

Topics covered include:

• How your pitch and all communications should reinforce your brand values. If you’re not careful, a poorly thought out pitch can not only get denied but can actually reflect poorly on your brand. 
• How a little last-minute tweaking could have turned these pitches from non-starters into successes
• The importance of doing the legwork and ‘bridging the gap’ to help you avoid pitching a guest or topic that’s irrelevant to your targeted podcast audience.
• Why tailoring your talk topics for each podcast you approach is the key to success.
• When is the right time to follow-up?
• Ditch the presumptuous and arrogant language. Give the host an out. 
• If you’re using a template, make sure you personalize it carefully!
