FORBESBOOKS Audio: A POWERFUL NEW PROSPECTING TOOL

Podcast hosts are empowered to use their channel as a tool to drive conversations with “out-of-reach” prospects and partners. When your team makes a cold call, you’re perceived as a solicitor making a sales pitch. This places you at a firm disadvantage. When your ForbesBooks Audio producer makes the call, the dynamic is transformed: it is now a legitimate media inquiry that the prospect is eager to take. This allows you to form more relationships with high-quality prospects.
