I had an excellent chat with @sachitgupta last week on overcoming self-limiting beliefs. I have been actively combatting podfading ever since I launched @digiintroshow. It turns out that I already had the answer within me. A little self-belief goes a long way.

"Hands down, Sachit has been phenomenal at managing our sponsorship of Mixergy. We've sponsored quite a few podcasts, and working with Sachit has both been one of the easiest experiences and also one of our top performers.
"Hands down, Sachit has been phenomenal at managing our sponsorship of Mixergy. We've sponsored quite a few podcasts, and working with Sachit has both been one of the easiest experiences and also one of our top performers. Typically we work directly with podcasts, but often engagement from their side drops soon after the agreement. With Sachit he worked to help us refine our offer to increase conversions, and would always be available to check in throughout the term. Thanks to the wonderful team at Mixergy, and Sachitโ€™s work, weโ€™ve found conversion rates have been consistently about 45% higher than other podcast sponsorships! If youโ€™re a podcaster or influencer looking to take things to the next level (or even a company that wants to improve ROI from your current sponsorships) find a way to work with him. You wonโ€™t regret it.โ€

โ€œSachit and I worked together on sponsorships for one of his clients. Typically, I prefer to work with a podcaster directly as it allows for some of the best sponsorship.
โ€œSachit and I worked together on sponsorships for one of his clients. Typically, I prefer to work with a podcaster directly as it allows for some of the best sponsorship. So far, Iโ€™ve never really had a solid relationship with a network. However, Sachit has been a great pleasure to work with when it came to HostGatorโ€™s sponsorship of Mixergy. He made sure that our needs as well Andrewโ€™s were met and was laser focused on ROI to make the partnership a win-win for everyone. Now Mixergy is one of our top performing podcasters and we couldnโ€™t be happier. Thank you Sachit!โ€
