How to turn media interviews into business revenues: How one client quickly generated $30K in new business
My mouth almost hit the floor last week when I talked to one of my favorite clients.
So since she teamed up with me, I’ve taught her my signature strategies for leveraging the media, cultivating an irresistible message and building a powerful brand. I’ve also featured her on my show and helped her book interviews on a couple of other media outlets.
Well anyway, she tells me last week that as a result of her last 4 interviews, 2 of which I helped her get, she’s secured approximately $30,000 in business.
Yes. You read right…30K.
“Are you serious?” I asked.
”Deadly serious,” she said.
Now I’m good at teaching people media but she took it to a whole new level!
”All I did was followed your blueprint,” she said.
She also told me she carries around a binder I gave her which includes my signature 5-step media, marketing & publicity blueprint.
So there are 3 basic things she said she does in every interview:
1.) Develop an action-driven, step-by-step media message to guide the interview. The media love experts who can give practical, step-by-step advice to their audience…especially this time of year.
2.) Share a personal “trial to triumph” story. This helps your audience connect with you. I help my clients identify exactly what that story is. This strategy works like a charm.
3.) Always give the audience an “easy” call to action. Give them a website, an easy toll-free number or instant access to you via email, twitter or whatever so that they can step into your “world” and from there a beautiful relationship can be built.
Now obviously everyone’s results will be different (needless to say, hers were outstanding) and I NEVER promote a cookie-cutter approach or make any specific monetary guarantees about results because every business is unique.
However, what I know for sure is that 99% of people miss opportunities in media interviews and they leave money and valuable relationships on the table because they miss these simple steps.
That’s why I LOVE my new Publicity Profit Secrets program. It’s allowing me to teach people how to capitalize on EVERY media opportunity!
Nevertheless, I was still shocked at this woman’s results based on such easy steps…
“That’s all you do?” I asked again.
“Yes,” she replied. “That’s how you told me to do it!”
Nice. I love that…and what she paid me was a mere fraction of what she received in return!
That’s the power of “purpose-driven” publicity!
