?At the end of your interview, there are a couple final questions you’ll often be asked:
- Do you have any final thoughts?—Be prepared to have something to say: repeat your most important takeaway in a single sentence, or raise a point that wasn’t covered and explain where the answer can be found on your website or in your book. It should include a call to action, which might include the next point.
- Where can people learn more about you or purchase your book?—Practice your reply before the interview so it sounds natural. Written notes help; it’s easy to get confused in the rush of the moment.
