Before you even pitch yourself as a guest to be interviewed, know what your objectives are.
Do you want listeners to buy your book? Buy a service you’re offering? Subscribe to your newsletter? Attend an event?

- Prepare your main message with that objective in mind.
- Prepare three key points to deliver that main message.
