Would you love to know the perfect email campaign to book the very best top podcast guests to appear on your podcast?

Even if you don’t have a podcast, it can sometimes be tough knowing how to do cold email outreach to an expert in your field.

There’s a careful balance you need to find between bombarding people with email after email and annoying them, and just not sending enough of the right emails to get on their radar. You need to work out how to send the best emails that will grab people’s attention enough to make them want to work with you.

Well, we’ve made it nice and easy for you in this episode where we’re chatting with James Carbary of Sweet Fish Media and finding out how he manages to book top guests for podcasts time and time again.

James shares the exact emails he sends, his strategy for finding the decision makers, and his best performing subject line.
