A face for radio

Lehmo repeated himself SIX TIMES in 12 minutes. Here’s why that was great. Lehmo and Sam Lane had me and Tony as guests on their show Summer Grandstand on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). We were there to talk about our new film Ange & The Boss. Expertly guided, we shared the funny and interesting stories in (and about) our film, AND immediately sold lots of tickets to an eventual sellout premiere at the Astor! We left the segment with all the warm fuzzies. In this Fink Tank Col and I chat about what made it a great experience. Lehmo and Sam did these three things, in this order: 1. Elevate others (us!) 2. Build audience rapport 3. Repeat important details Because they’d done such a great job of getting the best out of us, Lehmo repeating the session details SIX TIMES felt like a favour to the audience, not a distraction or intrusion. And it worked. We sold heaps of tickets! We left knowing we’d been in the company of true experts, even though they did nothing to talk themselves up. Their mastery did all the heavy lifting. — If you’d like to see our film Ange & The Boss, there’s a couple of opportunities left this year.
