RAVE REVIEWS
“Having been on TV before as a TV guest, had my own guest appearance on reality shows, and given tons of interviews over the years, as an author, I still learned a lot from Bart’s book, HOW TO PREPARE, PITCH & BECOME A TV GUEST. He confirmed what I know works and doesn’t work and he opened my eyes to areas that I never would have thought before. I know Bart and his work and training in many areas of business and marketing is beyond anyone I know. Anyone who reads this book is definitely in store for some serious TV guest appearance training.” -- Hasani Pettiford, Author/TV Reality Show, Contributor, Atlanta, GA
“I’ve known Bart for more than 20 years, and I remember when he first started developing his ideas around helping people become better prepared, more confident and more media-ready. Over the years, I’ve watched him help and train so many people with their books, websites, marketing, messaging and more. Bart cares deeply about helping people get their message out, and he gives his all no matter who he’s working with.
Having interviewed people myself for more than 30 years, I can tell you that Bart’s interview tactics are right on target. He understands what guests need to do before, during and after an interview, and he explains it in a way that is practical, easy to understand and extremely useful. His advice on preparation, positioning, media readiness, confidence and follow-up should be required reading for anyone who wants to become a stronger guest on TV, radio, podcasts, YouTube or any media platform. Bart knows how to help people get heard, get seen and show up prepared. I highly recommend his book to anyone serious about becoming a better interview guest.” -- Gayl Murphy, Hollywood Correspondent, Hollywood, CA
“When Bart asked me to read his new book, HOW TO PREPARE, PITCH & BECOME A TV GUEST, I had no idea what I was in store for. I’d been working in the TV industry for big named companies for going on 20 years. As I read every page, I said to myself, ‘Bart, how do you know all this?’ Seriously, he said everything I’d tell a potential client, but with more detail and tips that even I would never think of or even suggest. For example, having a TV guest conduct a website + sales/selling system + merchant account audit to be sure they were prepared to handle any potential bandwidth limitations or a spike in sales activity from a single TV exposure so their website or merchant account company didn’t shut down their account for false flag activity! WHO would know to tell them that? My friends in the business wouldn’t. As I kept reading, Bart covered what most TV industry professionals might know, but with one big difference, they don’t know the first thing about how to write a book, let alone write one as FAST as Bart wrote this book … in ONE WEEK! So, all I can say is, ‘Congratulations, Bart! Great job, and thank you, for writing what we all want to tell potential TV guests, but you did it so succinctly inside this book.’ What a primer for anyone wanting to be on TV and how to best prepare for a successful TV guest appearance. If you plan on being a TV guest or you’ve been one already, keep this book by your side and review it often. There are tons of great ideas in it for you to help improve your TV guest performance, hands down!” -- Jamie B., TV Client Relations &
Industry Analyst, Burbank, CA
AUTHOR MESSAGE
This is a great book if you want to become a pro at giving stronger, sharper and more memorable media interviews for your book, product, service, business, brand, message or cause. I compiled some of my best articles and practical advice on preparing for, giving and maximizing media interviews so you can show up with more confidence, clarity and purpose.
Inside, you’ll find tactics to help you think through your message, prepare your talking points, answer questions more effectively, sound more polished and make the most of every interview opportunity before, during and after it happens. Whether you’re being interviewed on TV, radio, podcasts, YouTube, livestreams, blogs or other media platforms, the goal is the same: show up prepared and make your interview count.
I’m sure there are interview consultants and media trainers who would charge at least $250 or more to consult with you and train you to give better media interviews. Well, I believe what you need to know is inside this book. In that sense, I’d say this book delivers at least $250 worth of media consulting and coaching value.
In advance, I hope this book helps you give that killer media interview, communicate your message more clearly and turn every interview into a bigger opportunity for you, your book, your business and your future.
