In my line of work booking podcast guests, I see a lot of mistakes being made between podcasters and their guests. The whole goal of your podcast should be to build strong relationships, but these three mistakes you’re about to read prevent that from happening!

Here are three mistakes I see happening:

1. Send a general ‘cut and paste’ pitch template to potential guests. It is so important that when you invite a guest to your podcast, they feel like the invitation is genuine and personalized. Take the time to tweak your pitch template, so the person receiving it feels like it was written just for them.
2. Make guests fill out a long form before the interview answering questions that will be asked in the interview. Ask me during the podcast if you want to know my favorite book.
3. Check their audio and recording with the guest. When you connect with the guest on Skype, you must be confident and ready to hit record. Find a friend or mentor who can do a test call with you before, so you don’t waste your guest’s time.
