Tip 14: Respect the Advertisers

Never, ever interfere with a commercial break, or make light of an advertiser.  Also, don't try to make a point while the host is attempting to go to a commercial.  The host is trained to pace the show.

Example
Take the host's lead when he/she cuts you off or says something like, “Tell us more about that when we come back from this break.”  Ask the host how much time you will have before the interview begins, so you can pace yourself, and avoid cramming in information before commercials or at the end of the interview.

About the author: Lonny pioneered the concept of our nationally trademarked Pay Per Interview Publicity business model which allows clients to purchase publicity by the story rather than pay hourly with no guarantee of coverage. His business foresight is evident in many ways including quickly reserving portal web addresses such as publicity, media relations, and checkerboard, and advising clients to do the same. Lonny has written two books: Media Hypnosis: Unleashing the most powerful sales tool on earth, published in 2002 and Reach & Teach Product Promotion: Teaching Consumers to BUY in 2007. In his spare time, Lonny teaches marketing as an adjunct faculty member at Dakota Technical College.
