Define the guest angle and qualification rules
30-45 min
30-45 min
Start with the expertise you can credibly offer, not a generic request to be interviewed. In Google Sheets, write one primary audience, three topics you can teach from direct experience, two proof points for each topic, and the business outcome listeners should leave with. Add disqualifiers such as shows that only accept paid placements, audiences outside your market, or formats that do not fit your spokesperson. Use Claude to turn this into a one-page qualification rubric that the person building the list can apply consistently.
A guest-positioning brief and qualification rubric for evaluating podcast opportunities.
One sharp topic with real proof is more pitchable than a menu of everything your company knows.
Build a podcast guest qualification rubric from the information below.
Spokesperson expertise:
{{spokesperson_expertise}}
Target audience:
{{target_audience}}
Topics we can teach:
{{topic_options}}
Proof points and examples:
{{proof_points}}
Business objective:
{{business_objective}}
Hard disqualifiers:
{{disqualifiers}}
Return:
1. One recommended guest angle
2. Three supporting episode topics
3. The listener outcome for each topic
4. Must-have show criteria
5. Nice-to-have criteria
6. Disqualifiers
7. A 100-point scoring rubric with weights
8. Evidence the researcher must capture before approving a show
Do not invent credentials, audience fit, or proof. Mark any missing input as NEEDS REVIEW. A human owner will approve the angle and scoring weights before research begins.
