The Art of The Ask

How To Ask For Something with No Track Record, Portfolio or Massive Social Following


Listen Later

This episode is a full on MASTERCLASS on how ask for something and position yourself when you have nothing to show for it. I'm talking no shiny analytics, no experience, no previous work... how on EARTH do you shoot your shot when it feels like you have nothing to offer?!


I break it down in the most Virgo-Moon detail possible, including:

  • how I landed podcast sponsors, brand deals and massive discounts on travel with an ugly AF Instagram, no email list, unimpressive analytics and no past sponsors
  • how to act like you're already hired
  • leading with vision and potential, not your lack of experience
  • how to show your transferable skills
  • creating proofs of concept - like a mockup design, sample copy, or outline steps to solve a problem
  • put yourself in the receivers' shows and position from there
  • research obsessively and speak their language



If you've felt insecure about pitching yourself from lack of experience, this episode is going to boost your confidence into outerspace.


And P.S. you'll learn all of this inside Pitch Perfect! We start October 13th - 3 spots left.
