How to Create an Intro and Outro for your Interviews

To create a high-quality interview, you need a big, branded intro and outro. These are the things you say at the very beginning, and very end of your interview. 

Having your intro and outro written and organized before your interview will ensure you come across as professional and prepared. It also helps set the right tone for the interview, and wrap things up smoothly. 

Here are the points we recommend including:

Your Intro/Introduction To Your Interview: 

  • Who you are.
  • Who your interviewee is and what they do, again including their name, position, and business name.
  • Finally, add in something great about your interviewee, whether that's an achievement they've had in business or something that sets them apart.

Here are a few simple scripts you can follow:
