Just wanted to call and say thanks.
My wife just had a phone call from a TV station saying how much they enjoyed having her client on air - it wasn’t merely the fact that they’d received dozens of phone calls long after a giveaway of the guest’s book or that the interview had gone swimmingly; they genuinely enjoyed meeting the author.
You know how good it feels meeting someone who’s vibrant, interesting, and interested. Be that person before, during, and after an interview, and you’ll shine, not only in the eyes of the audience, but of the media as well.
This phone call is also a good reminder that a follow-up call, card, or email to a host, producer, or reporter is a welcome touch and continues the connection you made.
