Following up after you pitch the media is critical to your success on getting free publicity and interviews! This morning I was checking my messages to find an interview request from Matthew. The pitch was perfect and I thought my listeners would love it…but when he left his phone number, it broke up (…he called on a cell phone). Even though I am interested in having Mathew on the radio, he’ll think I an not interested because I can’t get back to him.

I think the perfect way to pitch is leave a message saying you’ll follow up with an email.

If you want more info on how you can connect with media, email me, I’m more than happy to help.
Thanks

This bear was in our cherry tree at 10:30am feasting to his hearts content! Stayed for an hour and growled when we tried to scare him off. What do you think…Is it a young Grizzly?

Until the on air light comes on and the interview starts, we never really know how an interview is going to go. Often times a publicist creates a media release that is way better than the guest can deliver. Every once in awhile we hit a jackpot interview. It happened to us with Scot Ferrell. He knew how to play along with the Wayne and Jayne morning show.

PS and yes, we did get phone calls after the interview aired with listeners wanting to know where they could buy Scot's book.
