The Critical Follow-up: After a radio talk show, the follow-up is a critical part of getting invited back, or at least learning why you don’t to help you in the future. So do the following:

After the show, send a hand-written thank-you note to the talk show host and to any assistants who were instrumental getting you booked. These go a long way toward helping hosts remember you.

In your note, you might even suggest a follow-up show on a different topic. Remind the host of your ability to fill in on short notice for other guests who have to cancel.

If the host doesn’t book you for another show immediately, don’t hesitate to call again in four to six months.

Remember your media contacts at the holidays. Do not send them a gift. But do send a holiday greeting that keeps your name in front of them.
