The Interview Process

About the Interview Process

  1. Pre-Interview:We schedule a 30 min Pre-Interview to learn more about your business to determine which topics to focus on in the actual interview.
  2. Interview:We schedule a 30-45 min Interview but allow 60 min time slot any technical challenges. At the end of the interview, please let me know if there is anything you wish you didn’t say and I’ll edit it out. I want this to be a “win” for you and our audience.
  3. Post Interview Promotion:I will promote our interview on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn (general and 5 specific groups) and promote and re-cap in 2 monthly newsletters sent out to Best Mom Products Subscriber base. I ask that you promote via social media and add my logo w/ a link the interview on my site on your press/buzz page (good for SEO).

Tips for Technical Set-up

Skype Set-Up:

  • Add Rachel.cohen.olsen to your Skype contacts
  • Volume: Adjust to 60%. Louder usually creates static/echo.
  •  If you are using a PC, I recommend you use/borrow a high definition webcam. MAC’s come w/ one. Choose a well lit room and someplace quiet.
  • Turn off any fans (eats up bandwidth)
  • If you are using a PC, plug an Ethernet cord into a land line for a better connection. MAC’s are okay w/out.
  • Do a video/audio test: Go into “Call” on top bar of screen and click on Audio Settings and then Video Settings. Adjust volume to 75% (blue ball). For video, make sure webcam is directly looking into your eyes or a little higher up. Use books under computer, if needed.
