Podcast Call to Action: Why The “Freebie First” Strategy Is Sabotaging Your Conversion Rates [Ep 5]

Imagine your dream client finds your podcast. They listen to three, five, even ten episodes — they’re hooked. They’re all in on you, your story, your unique methodology and they’re already halfway to pulling out their credit card to work with you. But instead of a clear invitation to take that next step, you tell them to download your freebie. Wait. What? Pump the brakes!

In this episode, I’m sharing why this “freebie first” approach is quietly killing your listener-to-client conversions — and what to do instead if you want to start signing clients directly from your show.

Tune in to learn:

✨ Why sending people to download your freebie slows down conversions

✨ What really happens when people binge your show — and why your call to action matters more than you think

✨ How to build an evergreen podcast funnel that brings in warm leads and sales without relying on emails or endless launch cycles
