Referral-Partner Episodes
How One 30-Minute Podcast Interview Builds an Agent's Referral Network
What happens before, during and after one podcast interview, the three rings of contacts it reaches, and what a year of weekly interviews can add up to.

Interviewing lenders, inspectors and local businesses to build a referral network.
A referral-partner episode is a podcast interview with someone who serves the same clients you do, such as a mortgage lender, home inspector, stager, contractor or local business owner. The episode gives your guest useful exposure, gives your listeners practical local information, and gives the two of you a reason to work together afterward. For real estate agents, it is one of the most direct ways a podcast turns into business, because each guest is a potential source of referrals. The guides in this section explain how to choose and invite partners, which questions draw out useful answers, how to handle lender and settlement-service relationships with RESPA in mind, and how to follow up so the relationship continues after the recording. Start with the complete guide to referral-partner episodes, then use the question lists to prepare your next interview, and check co-marketing plans with your broker.
