If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Where in my episode should I put my call to action?” — this one’s for you. Because even if your CTA is perfectly worded, it won’t drive action if it’s in the wrong spot or the listener payoff isn’t clear.

And if your audience isn’t taking the next step, you’re not just missing out on listener engagement—it’s a hidden leak in your lead flow, costing you potential clients and revenue you don’t even realize you’re losing.

In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly where to place your calls to action, how to track if they’re working, and what to do with that data once you have it. Plus, I give you a super simple CTA framework you can swipe and start using in your next episode.

So if you're tired of giving CTAs that feel awkward (and you’re ready to say yours like a human and finally know if it’s doing what you want it to do) hit play and let’s dive in.

1:00 – The Worst Place to Put Your CTA (and Why It Turns Cold Listeners Off)

2:40 – The Only “Rule” for CTA Placement That Actually Matters

3:22 – Where Your CTA Actually Belongs (Hint: It’s Not Pre-roll, Mid-roll, or Post-roll)

6:52 – Why Saying Your CTA Like a Human Gets More Clicks (and Builds Trust)

9:08 – The 3 Parts Every Strong CTA Should Include

13:03 – How to Test, Track, and Tweak Your CTAs for Better Results
