Like this month on a call, my client asked me this question and here's the answer that I gave her and what she was able to do with it.'

Takeaway: • Highlighting client successes builds credibility. • Even small wins can be impactful stories. • Encourages readers to consider working with you.

'I think the key here is, is to, when you're writing this email that links to your blog or your podcast episode, to not give it all away in the email... So build curiosity... don't give them all the podcast episodes. The goal is for them to link back to it.'

And that email should link back to your podcast, your blog, or your YouTube channel content.'
