Introducing the Interview-Based Content System

Benefits of the Interview-Based Content System

Connect with and build relationships with key people from your target audience, while also producing content that builds your brand

Consistently create content that resonates with your target audience 100% of the time… so you don’t have to waste time or money on publishing content that doesn’t produce real results

Overview of Forward Launch’s 6-Step Interview-Based Content System

Forward Launch's 6-Step Interview-Based Content System. The 6 steps are: Identify, Invite, Interview, Build, Publish, and Repurpose.

Step 1: Identify

Figure out who your ideal customers are

Identify which potential customers would be highly beneficial for your company to target

Examples: target accounts (for ABM strategy), large enterprise deals, stuck deals, new target audience segments your company is expanding to, markets in which you want to build brand recognition and authority

Step 2: Invite

Invite ideal customers to participate in your content 

  • Easier to get target audience to say yes 
  • You’re not asking for something; you’re offering something valuable. 
  • MUCH easier to get referrals than by asking your network to help you book sales calls

Step 3: Interview

Interview target customers in a recorded format (e.g. webinar, video-cast, podcast) 

  • Provides value to the guest
  • Demonstrates credibility and authority by associating with experts in your space 
  • Provides long-term brand building – Audience will get glimpses into your company’s philosophy because the interviewer will give their perspective

Step 4: Build

Build a relationship with your guests

  • Because they participated in the interview, you know  more about their company specifically, and you have an opening to build a relationship with them. 
  • Sometimes that can lead to them immediately getting into your sales cycle. 
  • If an interview guest becomes a customer. It immediately shows stakeholders in your company that you got a return on investment from this marketing channel

Step 5: Publish

Publish the interview content 

  • Your team doesn’t have to come up with content themselves anymore
  • No wasted time creating content that doesn’t resonate with target audience
  • Because the content came from the exact type of person you want to sell to, it will resonate with others like them

Step 6: Repurpose

Repurpose the interview content into multiple formats

  • Get a wider reach and more traffic
    • Publish video to YouTube, Vimeo
    • Publish audio as a podcast
    • Turn transcripts into blog posts
    • Send each new episode out as an email newsletter
  • Use unique insights from guests to produce content that outperforms the competition
  • Use the interviews to figure out the language your ideal customers use, and create better, high-converting website or email copy
  • Content creation is faster and easier; writers don’t need a deep understanding of your customers’ industry or level of professional knowledge
