Want to book amazing podcast guests that actually match your ICP? In this solo episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell shares his playbook for finding and booking ideal guests without turning the interview into a thinly veiled sales pitch. Jason starts with the elephant in the room: yes, you can invite guests who are also potential customers, but you cannot Trojan horse them. If you bring someone on the show and pitch them live, you create a bad experience for the guest, your audience, and your reputation. The rule is simple: content-first, always. Focus on a great conversation and a genuine value exchange, then let the relationship deepen naturally over time. Next, he breaks down where to find great guests. First: your immediate network. Start with executives, employees, customers, partners, and trusted connections, people who already know you and will say yes faster. Those first few episodes build credibility and social proof, which makes outreach to strangers dramatically easier. Second: your CRM. Jason recommends targeting lapsed prospects accounts you haven't engaged with in weeks or months and using the podcast as a re-engagement mechanism. If you run an ABM strategy, this is especially powerful: you can target high-fit accounts, invite the right people, and start meaningful conversations without a sales agenda. From there, Jason walks through prospecting tools. LinkedIn Sales Navigator helps with demographic and firmographic targeting, and tools like Apollo and Clay can help you build precise guest lists at scale. But the sleeper channels are Slack communities and conference speaker lists. In industry-specific Slack groups, people don't ignore direct notifications the way they do email or LinkedIn DMs. Jason notes content-first outreach can reach 60–70% response rates in the right communities. And conference speakers are already primed to share expertise, so their speaking topic becomes an easy hook to start the conversation. Once you've built your target list, Jason outlines a two-step outreach sequence. Message one is intentionally short: introduce the show, explain why you're reaching out to them, and ask if they'd like more details, no episode pitch, no long explanation. Message two comes after they've shown interest: reinforce why it's worth their time (downloads, guest lineup, maybe even payment) and share a personalised episode angle based on their experience, proving it's a real content opportunity, not random outreach. 00:00 - Introduction: Finding and booking dream guests 01:00 - The Trojan horse trap: content-first always 02:30 - Where to find guests: start with your network 04:00 - Mining your CRM for lapsed prospects 05:30 - Using LinkedIn, Apollo, and Clay for targeting 07:00 - Sleeper channels: Slack communities and speaker lists 09:00 - The two-message outreach sequence 11:30 - Message one: gauge interest only 12:30 - Message two: personalise and reinforce value 14:00 - How to get 60-70% response rates Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Check out several tools in building guest lists: HubSpot CRM Clay Apollo Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast

But the good news? There is a science to it. Let's dive into it. Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode:  Why following up with cold leads feels so awkward (and what you can do to reframe it) What to say when following up without sounding awkward or 'desperate' for the sale.

This week on The Coaching Edge, I'm digging into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of building a profitable coaching business: conversations. Not funnels. Not fancy sales pages. Not complicated campaigns. Conversations. Real ones. The kind that create connection… and then, eventually, clients. If you're someone who has always felt a little allergic to anything that resembles “traditional sales” — the pushy, aggressive, talk-AT-people kind of sales — this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Because the truth is, you don't need to be good at selling to grow your coaching business. You just need to get good at starting conversations. Inside this episode, I break down: Why conversations are the foundation of my sales model — and why this approach works beautifully for coaches who want selling to feel natural, relational, and grounded in integrity. How connection (not conversion) is what actually leads to clients — and why focusing on the wrong thing in that first conversation can shut things down before they ever start. The mindset shift every coach needs: your only job is to start the conversation. Not sell. Not strategize. Just connect. The dozens of places conversations can begin: past clients, new followers, people who downloaded your freebie, collaborators, referral sources, your own newsletter list, DM check-ins, and so many more. Why I actively “gamify” conversations in my own business and teach the same thing inside the BBB — and why having structure around this is one of the most profitable habits you can build as a coach. The reality that most conversation starters will go ignored… and why that's perfectly fine. It only takes 1 in 5 to create meaningful connection that eventually leads somewhere. If you're ready to make sales feel like being a human again — and to build your 2026 business around practices that actually feel aligned — this episode will give you a whole new way of thinking about selling.

If the idea of selling your coaching makes you uncomfortable, this episode is for you.Many thoughtful, heart-centered coaches associate selling with pressure, manipulation, or convincing people to say yes.

If you're showing up consistently in your business but still not seeing the traction you deserve, this episode is for you. Today, Lori walks you through two critical stages of your client journey: Engage and Invite  -  the bridge between curiosity and commitment. You'll discover why engagement isn't about likes or views, but about readiness, connection, and trust. Lori shares how to shift from simply creating content to actually guiding your audience toward a next step  -  without feeling pushy or "salesy." She also breaks down the four business stages  -  Figure It Out, Work It Out, Rock It Out, and Boss It Out  -  and how engagement looks different at each level. You'll learn why clarity beats persuasion, and how a clear invitation can turn effort into real momentum. Lessons Learned Engagement is a filter, not a goal. Clarity beats persuasion every time. Each business stage engages differently. Invitation is leadership, not selling. Momentum requires direction - trust needs somewhere to go.   Book your Profitable Path Blueprint Call at TalkWithLori.com  

Outreach is one of the most powerful ways to grow an executive coaching business and also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, I wanted to revisit one of the most popular and practical conversations from the podcast this year, focusing on a topic that consistently comes up for coaches working with corporate clients: outreach. More specifically, I explore what I call the outreach myth, the fear of being perceived as salesy, pushy or misaligned with your values. I unpack why this fear is so common among coaches, how it shows up and practical ways to approach outreach differently. If outreach feels heavy, awkward or out of alignment for you, this episode will help you rethink how you approach it and move forward with more confidence and clarity.

When you start a podcast from your passion, it's not uncommon to hit a stage where monetization becomes essential. You can be consistent with your podcast, deliver real value, and still need an aligned strategy to see an ROI. The issue isn't your content… it's the structure of how you leverage your brand. In episode 470 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I'm coaching Angela Ross, host of SoCal Voices, on how to turn her podcast into a true visibility + revenue engine—without turning it into a "sales pitch" or forcing ads that don't fit her brand. We unpack why selling can feel sticky (especially when you care deeply about your audience), and I walk Angela through a cleaner, more powerful monetization path: building an ecosystem around the podcast, creating aligned partner packages (not "sponsors"), and using her existing platforms more strategically—so growth and revenue become a natural byproduct of the value she's already delivering. If you want podcast monetization strategies that feel aligned and actually move the needle—this episode gives you a clear roadmap.   Key Takeaways: [02:46] Why becoming Un-Ignorable is the foundation of monetization—and how my 7-step framework supports that. [08:11] The real reason monetization stalls (even when your message is strong): no clear revenue structure behind the show. [09:43] Why "sponsors" can feel out of alignment—and the reframe that makes it easy: build aligned partners who share your values. [11:08] The mindset shift that unlocks premium monetization: your podcast can serve people and generate revenue without compromise. [13:49] Stop thinking "podcast" and start building an ecosystem—multiple touchpoints, deeper community, and clearer pathways to get paid. [17:50] How to make partner packages irresistible by focusing on outcomes you can help them create (PR angles, visibility, community access). [18:51] The strategic move that increases conversions: early-bird / founding partner offers that reward action and create momentum. [19:57] Why a LinkedIn newsletter becomes a simple, high-authority channel for visibility and monetization—without more content pressure. [24:46] The "focus expands" rule: how choosing one priority platform (IG) and optimizing your format/content creates measurable growth. [28:58] Why guesting on other podcasts is one of the fastest authority and partner-building moves you can make.   Connect With Angela:  Follow Angela on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/socalvoices/  Connect with Angela on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/socalvoices  Listen To Angela's SoCal Voices Podcast - https://www.socalvoices.com/    Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  FREE GUIDE & SCORECARD: Feel like the best-kept secret?

In this episode, I'm tackling one of the biggest fears holding therapists back from building sustainable online practices: the terror of being "too salesy."If you've ever frozen at the end of a webinar, mumbled through your offer, or avoided pitching your program altogether because you're worried about pressuring people who've already been through so much — this episode is for you.Here's the truth: Your fear of being salesy isn't actually about sales. It's about identity, worth, and deeply ingrained beliefs about what it means to be a "good" therapist. And until you unpack those beliefs and make some critical identity shifts, no amount of perfect pitch scripts or marketing tactics will make you feel comfortable making offers.So today, we're going deep. We're talking about the mistaken beliefs sabotaging your ability to serve, the five identity shifts that transform selling from a threat into an act of service, and the practical framework for making offers that feel aligned, authentic, and effective.Whether you're a therapist launching your first online program, a coach struggling to convert webinar attendees, or a clinician who knows you need to make offers but feels gross every time you try — this conversation will meet you right where you are.Here's what we cover in this episode:The mistaken beliefs keeping you stuck — including why you think making an offer equals manipulation (spoiler: it doesn't), why you're waiting for people to chase you down instead of leading them forward, and why you think talking about your program "takes away" from the value you're giving.The four identity shifts that change everything — from Healer to Guide, Helper to Advocate, Clinician to Creator, Transactional to Transformational, and Rule-Follower to Ethical Innovator. These aren't just mindset tweaks — they're fundamental rewirings of how you see yourself and your role.What you're not seeing when you don't make offers — the real consequence of staying silent about your programs, and how your fear of being pushy is actually denying people the agency to choose their own path forward.The reframe that makes pitching feel like service — including the coaching questions that reveal whether you have a sales problem or a conviction problem, and why treating your webinar attendees differently than you'd treat your best friend is costing you (and them) transformation.The 5-step framework for making offers that convert — from getting clear on your conviction first, to setting up the pitch at the beginning, using consent at offer time, making it about them (not you), and trusting them to decide for themselves.Resources & Links Mentioned:

Let me guess. You've got client wins sitting in your camera roll, testimonials saved in a folder somewhere, and screenshots of DMs that made you tear up a little… but you haven't shared any of them because you don't want to seem "braggy."That mindset is costing you clients!Social proof isn't just a nice-to-have. It's literally how the human brain shortcuts decision-making. Your dream clients are out there right now, scrolling around and silently asking, "Does this really work?" And if your content doesn't answer that with proof, they'll find someone else who does.In this episode, I'm breaking down why hiding your wins is doing your audience a disservice, how to share proof without feeling gross about it, and exactly what types of social proof you should be rotating into your content mix.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:→ Why social proof is how humans make decisions→ The difference between bragging and serving, and how to make your client the hero→ Why "small" wins are still proof→ 6 types of social proof you can start using today: testimonials, before/after story arcs, data, behind-the-scenes process, client snapshots, and more→ How to weave proof into your content without feeling salesy or performative—Follow me on Instagram at @pane.marketingSubscribe to my newsletter The Content Pour-Over for your brand's boost of content clarity every Wednesday!

How To Own the Room, Build Trust, and Convert—With Just One Signature Story Whether you're hosting a webinar, guesting on a podcast, or stepping onto a live stage, your ability to sell starts with mastering the art of connection. In this episode, I sit down with Colin Boyd, international speaker and business mentor, for a high-impact conversation about how to sell from any stage without feeling pushy or performative. Colin reveals why traditional teaching-heavy presentations often miss the mark, what most entrepreneurs get wrong when telling their story, and how to turn every speaking engagement into a client-converting opportunity. We also talk about managing imposter syndrome, the underestimated power of storytelling, and how to align your message for maximum impact. If the thought of selling makes you hesitate or you constantly second-guess yourself before showing up online, this episode offers practical tools you'll want to revisit again and again. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ A “Conversion Story” Can Skyrocket Sales – Your story should serve your audience, not spotlight you. Colin shares how to craft a powerful story that builds trust and naturally leads to your offer. 2️⃣ Too Much Teaching Can Overwhelm Your Audience – Delivering value doesn't mean giving everything away. Learn the real reason audiences often don't convert—and how to avoid it with clarity-driven content. 3️⃣ Selling Is an Extension of Service – When your message, offer, and audience are aligned, selling becomes seamless.
