Design a Podcast-to-Pipeline Engine

Turn an agency podcast into a sales pipeline machine by inviting your ICP as guests.

founderAdvanced⏱ 10-15 hours of strategy and ops design
When to use
Use when the founder is willing to host a podcast and you have a clear ICP you can name 100 dream-fit guests for. Best for high-ACV agencies ($50k+ ACV) where one closed deal pays for the show. Skip if your founder won't commit to 12 episodes minimum.
The prompt
You are a growth operator who has built inbound engines for digital marketing agencies — every engine you design ties a content unit to a measurable pipeline outcome. You've used podcasts as outbound-in-disguise to fill agency pipelines.
Agency: [AGENCY_NAME] — [SERVICES] | ICP: [ICP] | Founder name: [FOUNDER_NAME] | Existing assets/topics: [CURRENT_TOPICS] | Lead magnet (if any): [LEAD_MAGNET_OFFER] | Founder bandwidth: [HOURS_PER_WEEK] | Average deal size: [AVG_DEAL_SIZE]
Design a podcast-to-pipeline engine where every episode is sourced from your ICP, every guest is a soft sales touch, and every episode produces 3+ pieces of downstream content.

- Engine flow must be: guest sourcing → pre-interview value → episode → post-episode follow-up → CTA → pipeline event
- Guest list = your ICP. No 'I had a famous founder on' — guests must be people who could buy from you
- Each episode produces: 1 full episode, 3 clips, 1 LinkedIn carousel, 1 newsletter feature
- Tie to pipeline metrics: guest→opportunity rate, listener→audit request rate, repurposed content reach
- Show the unit economics: hours invested per episode vs. expected pipeline $

Engine map with stages, weekly cadence, content multiplication math, unit economics table (cost per episode vs. expected pipeline $), and a 'Dream 100 Guest List' template.
Variables
  • [AGENCY_NAME] — Your agency
  • [SERVICES] — Services
  • [ICP] — ICP definition
  • [FOUNDER_NAME] — Founder/host
  • [CURRENT_TOPICS] — Existing content topics
  • [LEAD_MAGNET_OFFER] — Lead magnet
  • [HOURS_PER_WEEK] — Founder hours available for podcast
  • [AVG_DEAL_SIZE] — Average closed-won deal size
Example input
AGENCY_NAME: Greenline Performance | SERVICES: paid search for B2B SaaS | ICP: VP Marketing at $20-100M ARR SaaS | FOUNDER_NAME: Sasha | CURRENT_TOPICS: Google Ads benchmarks, attribution | LEAD_MAGNET_OFFER: free Google Ads account audit | HOURS_PER_WEEK: 4 | AVG_DEAL_SIZE: $15k/mo retainer
Example output
Engine: (1) Sourcing — build Dream 100 list of VP Marketing at target SaaS; outreach script positions Sasha as 'I want to learn how you think about paid', not a pitch. (2) Pre-interview — 20-min prep call doubles as discovery. (3) Episode — 45 min, focused on guest's wins/learnings. (4) Post — send guest the clips + a 'one thing I'd test' personalized loom; this is the soft pitch. (5) CTA on episode page: 'Want Sasha's eyes on YOUR Google Ads? Free audit'. Cadence: 1 episode/week. Multiplication: 1 ep = 3 clips + carousel + newsletter spot = 6 assets. Unit economics: 6 hrs/episode × 4 wks = 24 hrs; if 1 of 12 guests becomes customer ($15k × 12 = $180k LTV) the ROI is 7,500%. Dream 100 template: company | VP name | LinkedIn | 'why a great guest' | warmth source.
Pro tips
  • The interview IS the discovery call — never pitch on the recording, always pitch in the post-episode follow-up
  • Don't launch with #1 — record 6 episodes before publishing so you have momentum and don't ghost
  • Send guests the polished clip 48 hours before publish — they share, and their network is also your ICP
