Real People, Real Business - Episode #50 w/ Christina Lenkowski - Scaling Backward Into High Ticket

Christina Lenkowski is a seasoned publicity professional who works with entrepreneurs to help them increase their visibility and build their expert status through podcast guesting.

In this episode, Christina talks about her journey as a business owner, starting in an agency where she delivered publicity services, to creating an online course, and finally pivoting to delivering high-touch one-on-one services, following the desires of her ideal clients.

Christina shares lots of valuable insight into how to make podcast guesting work for you as a marketing strategy, where to look for perfectly aligned shows that help you shine in your expertise, how to show up for a guest opportunity, and how to create a pitch that a show host can’t resist.

As a business owner, Christina has consciously disrupted the status quo, evolving her business “backwards” from passive income to high-touch, and by offering a guarantee that she is passionate about delivering.

And finally, Christina shares some important advice for business owners who are confused or overwhelmed with all of the opportunities and strategies for marketing your business.
