Interview Connections

Hosted by Interview Connections

The founder of the world's first podcast booking agency interviews her own clients to showcase the ROI of getting booked on podcasts.

The brief

This channel is not a conventional podcast but a direct marketing asset for the Interview Connections agency. The episodes are recordings of live-streamed 'masterclasses' and client panels. The entire format is designed to function as a sales presentation, using interviews with successful clients as case studies and social proof for the agency's services.

Unlike nearly all interview-based shows, this one transparently serves a single commercial purpose: lead generation. Its distinctiveness lies in exclusively booking its own successful clients and structuring every conversation as a testimonial to prove the value of its service.

What you'll be asked on this show

AI-extracted from recent episodes · help us verify
How Interview Connections interviews

Rhodes's style is that of a masterclass facilitator proving a thesis. She opens by establishing a guest's 'before' state, often asking where their business was when they first signed up. Her questions are designed to guide guests through a narrative of success, surfacing specific metrics like ROI, client numbers, and revenue. She doesn't probe or push back; instead, she provides a platform for testimonials, using each client's story as a case study to reinforce her agency's value proposition to the viewing audience.

The format is a panel discussion or masterclass, not a one-on-one interview. Host Jessica Rhodes acts as a facilitator, guiding her clients through their success stories to build a case for her agency. The show is heavily branded, with frequent, direct calls-to-action to book a sales call with her company.
