Focus groups aren’t luck; they’re auditions you can prep for.

This episode shows how researchers choose steady, precise voices under pressure and why clarity beats charm. You’ll learn to treat your panel profile like a tiny niche CV, keep a screening sheet so your answers stay consistent, reply fast, show up early and track the panels that actually fit your lane. Do less, better, and your hit rate climbs without burning you out.

Write three niches you naturally fit and update your profiles tonight; what would make you the easy yes this week?
