Your pipeline is you
No brand carries you into the deal; your reputation does. Guesting builds the public body of work that makes buyers arrive pre-sold instead of price-shopping.
You are the product. Podcasts are how the market finds that out.
Your rate is set by your authority. Every show you guest on raises the price a client expects to pay for your thinking, and puts your framework in front of rooms you could never cold-email.
The problem isn't your expertise. It's your visibility.
Your framework deserves a stage
You have a way of solving the problem that clients pay for. Explaining it on shows plants it in the market with your name attached, and hosts hand you the stage for free.
Feast and famine
Delivery months kill marketing months. Podcast appearances keep publishing while you are heads-down, because a recorded episode works every day after it airs.
Same plan as everyone: pay when you're booked.
- $99/mo founding rate (normally $299), plus $300 per confirmed placement
- You approve every show before it is pitched
- The $300 applies only when a recording is locked on your calendar
- Prep brief before every appearance, repurposed clips after
- Month to month. Agreement accepted at checkout, nothing signed elsewhere
Asked on every call.
Which podcasts do you pitch consultants to?
Shows your buyers listen to: industry podcasts in your vertical, operator and executive shows, and niche business podcasts where your specialty is the topic. You approve the list, so it always maps to the clients you actually want.
I've done a few podcasts already. Why use BookedPod?
Because the grind is the bottleneck. Finding active shows, verifying they take guests, pitching, and following up 50 times per host is a full-time job. We run that machine; you keep the 30-minute part.
Will this actually produce leads?
Appearances compound into inbound: listeners who arrive pre-sold, hosts who refer you, invitations to speak, and AI engines citing you when someone asks for an expert in your niche. Our founder gets inbound leads from ChatGPT that trace directly back to podcast appearances.
