Creating And Marketing A Guest First Experience

Jodi is one of my go-to marketing experts for the podcast... As usual, she has over-delivered with how much she gives of her knowledge. (Said during a recent podcast episode.)

I heard people talking about a presentation this morning and how fun it was - I knew had to be yours.

After I had you on the virtual summit last year I knew I wanted you back for the live event.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your email marketing series.You've inspired me to start doing more of this with my property. (from Vacation Rental Formula Podcast)

Every time I hear you are going to be on a podcast, I put it in my calendar. I've learned so much from you for free I want to give you a free stay at my property in return.

Since the first time I heard Jodi speak, I follow everything she says and watch every video she posts... I always learn something new from her. She is a true expert."

The presentation Jodi gave at the Women's Conference was worth the price of my ticket. I learned more actionable advice from her in that one hour that I could actually use the next day.

This program is one of the best learning opportunities I've had in this industry - Jodi is gifted in the way she presents her information and the amount of heart she has for her students. She goes above and beyond.

I heard you on Heather Bayer's podcast this morning and had to reach out. First of all, it was great and second of all, can I hire you? (she did)

I can't wait to have you back on my podcast - your authenticity is a breath of fresh air. Plus, you are just so damn smart.

Jodi has been on my podcast twice and is always a great guest. She's well prepared, is a wealth of knowledge and promotes the hell out of it.
