Whether you are a large or small business owner and have been thinking about different ways to promote your business but not sure where to start? My guest Julie Fry owner of Your Expert Guest is the perfect person to help you do that. Selling her networking organization in January, and COVID shutdowns hitting she quickly realized how important it was for businesses to be able to continue to reach people either through social media, virtual events, and Podcasts, maximizing a larger audience.
A huge podcast follower herself she reached out to friends as a way of wanting to help them make connections with customers, and it quickly launched into a new business idea in April – Your Expert Guest, a full service booking agency, teaching people how to get on podcasts, that are a perfect fit for them and connecting them with the right target audience.
Starting Your Expert Guest was a perfect way to put Julie’s ‘rolodex’ brain to work, as connecting people with other people has always come naturally to her. She walks her clients through the ‘ABC’s” from what a podcast is, to what to expect being a guest on the show. I’ve been doing this show for over 2 1/2 years now and I still see guests I’ve known for years that thrive in their business, but sill get so nervous on the show! It can be overwhelming for sure, Julie reminds her clients – you are just having a conversation, and it’s okay if things don’t go perfectly.
