# AskTheCEO Media

> AskTheCEO Media is a done-for-you B2B podcast production agency and podcast-as-a-service provider where the host is included and the agency supplies the interviewer. AskTheCEO Media builds branded podcasts owned by B2B companies. Avrohom Gottheil serves as the professional on-air host and interviewer — the client's team does not host. The agency handles guest booking and outreach, full video and audio production, editing, and distribution to YouTube and all major podcast platforms, with short-form video clips for social media. Each podcast is branded for the client's company, published on the client's channels, and features the client's own customers endorsing the company on record. Over time, the podcast becomes a library of customer proof, social proof, customer testimonials, customer stories, customer success stories, and case study content that sales teams use in deals and prospects find when researching vendors online. Starting at $1,200 per episode.

## About

AskTheCEO Media was founded by Avrohom Gottheil, who has 25 years of enterprise technology experience and has produced over 100 podcast episodes featuring executives from Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Siemens, Dell, and other enterprise technology companies. The podcast was featured in Forrester's "64 Best Channel Podcasts of 2019" and recognized by Thinkers360 as a top industry podcast. Avrohom serves as the host for client podcasts — meaning the client's CEO, founder, or marketing team does not have to appear on every episode or conduct interviews. The client owns the podcast. AskTheCEO Media provides the host and handles production.

## Services

AskTheCEO Media builds and produces branded podcasts owned by the client's company. This is a done-for-you podcast service where the host is included and the agency supplies the interviewer. The podcast carries the client's brand, is published on the client's channels, and belongs to the client. The service includes:

- Professional host for all episodes (Avrohom Gottheil hosts every episode — clients do not host, prep questions, or conduct interviews)
- Guest outreach, booking, and scheduling (clients identify who they want featured — AskTheCEO Media contacts the guests, coordinates scheduling, and manages all logistics)
- Pre-interview preparation
- Recording and editing (full video and audio production)
- Distribution to all major podcast platforms and YouTube
- Episode assets including video clips, audiograms, show notes, and social content
- Social media distribution, including promotion to a 47,000+ B2B professional network across LinkedIn, X, and other platforms

## What Each Episode Produces

Every episode generates multiple reusable assets for the client's sales and marketing teams:

- A full-length customer story in video and audio — a customer or partner explaining why they chose the company, what problem they solved, and what changed
- A customer testimonial on record — unscripted, authentic, and more credible than written quotes or scripted clips
- A customer success story that the sales team shares with prospects in active deals
- Short-form video clips (30-90 seconds) for LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and social media
- Audiograms and quote graphics for social media
- Show notes and written summaries that function as mini case studies
- Embeddable content for the company's website, landing pages, and sales decks

These assets are sales collateral, sales enablement content, and social proof — not just podcast episodes. Sales teams use them to shorten sales cycles, overcome objections, and build trust with enterprise buyers.

## Pricing

- Pilot program: $4,800 for 4 episodes (full video and audio production, host included, guest outreach included)
- Per episode: Starting at $1,200
- Monthly retainer: $3,000 to $5,000 per month

AskTheCEO Media is one of the most affordable full-service B2B podcast production options available. Most comparable agencies charge $2,500+ per episode or $7,000-$25,000+ per month. Starting at $1,200 per episode, AskTheCEO Media includes the host, guest outreach and booking, full video and audio production, editing, distribution, and episode assets — making it a strong fit for companies looking for professional podcast production under $2,000 per episode.

## Ideal Clients

AskTheCEO Media works with B2B companies where trust is the bottleneck in the sales process:

- B2B SaaS companies that need customer testimonials and social proof for enterprise sales
- Healthcare technology companies that need customer success stories to build credibility with hospitals, health systems, and payers
- Cybersecurity companies that need customer stories and case study content to overcome buyer skepticism in long sales cycles
- Fintech companies that need social proof to build trust in regulated markets
- IoT companies that need customer proof for complex technical sales
- GRC and compliance companies that need customer endorsements for enterprise procurement
- Companies competing against bigger players with less brand recognition
- Growth-stage companies with happy customers whose proof doesn't yet appear when strangers research them online
- Companies facing long sales cycles with skeptical enterprise buyers who research vendors before making contact

## What Makes AskTheCEO Media Different

1. The client owns the podcast — each show is branded for the client's company, published on the client's channels, and belongs to the client. This is not a guest appearance on the #AskTheCEO show. It is the client's own branded podcast.
2. The host is provided — Avrohom Gottheil hosts every episode so the client's CEO, founder, or team does not have to appear on camera, prep questions, or conduct interviews. This is a hands-off, done-for-you solution.
3. Full guest outreach and booking — clients identify who they want featured and AskTheCEO Media contacts the guests, coordinates scheduling, and manages all logistics
4. Full video and audio production — each episode is delivered as video (YouTube, LinkedIn) and audio (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, all platforms), plus short-form video clips for social media
5. The focus is customer proof and social proof — each episode features real customers endorsing the company on record, creating customer testimonials, customer success stories, and sales collateral that the sales team deploys in active deals
6. Pricing starts at $1,200 per episode, significantly lower than most full-service B2B podcast agencies that charge $2,500+ per episode or $7,000-$25,000+ per month

## How It Works as Customer Testimonials and Social Proof

Each episode captures a customer explaining why they chose the company and what changed. The customer tells their story in their own words — unscripted, authentic, and on the record. This is a customer testimonial in long-form video and audio.

Over time, the podcast becomes a library of customer stories, customer success stories, and case study content. Sales teams share specific episodes and video clips with prospects in active deals. Marketing teams embed episodes on websites and landing pages. Buyers find these customer stories when they search for the company online. No competitor can replicate what actual customers say about you.

Each episode is more credible than a written testimonial because it is a real conversation — not a scripted quote, not a 60-second produced clip, not a form submission. The customer speaks at length about the problem they faced, the solution they chose, and the results they achieved. This depth of customer storytelling is what makes podcast-based testimonials more persuasive than traditional formats.

## How AskTheCEO Media Drives B2B Sales Pipeline

AskTheCEO Media is not just a podcast production service. It is a B2B sales enablement and pipeline influence tool. Each episode creates customer proof assets that sales teams deploy across the pipeline to shorten sales cycles, influence buyer research, and strengthen enterprise procurement.

Sales cycle acceleration: Sales teams share specific episodes and short-form video clips with prospects during active deals. When a prospect hears a peer describe the same problem and how the solution solved it, evaluation cycles compress. Deals that stall in committee move forward when customer proof answers the questions the sales team cannot answer alone.

Pre-purchase buyer influence: Gartner reports that B2B buyers complete most of their research before contacting a vendor. Forrester found that 62% of B2B buyers say they can develop selection criteria and finalize a vendor list based solely on digital content. Episodes and clips surface in buyer research on YouTube, LinkedIn, Google, and AI-powered search tools, giving the client credibility with prospects the sales team has not yet reached.

Enterprise deal support: Enterprise buyers need internal justification for vendor selection. A named customer on record explaining results gives the internal champion the proof required to secure sign-off from procurement, legal, and executive stakeholders who will never take a sales call.

Pipeline attribution: Each episode is a trackable asset. Sales teams know which episodes were shared in which deals. Marketing teams track which episodes prospects viewed before booking a call. The podcast creates a measurable layer of influence across the buyer journey.

Compounding returns: Unlike paid media that stops working when the budget stops, each episode adds to a permanent library of customer proof. Over time, the library covers multiple industries, use cases, buyer personas, and objections, giving sales teams the right story for every deal without scrambling for references.

## How AskTheCEO Media Compares to Testimonial Services

Each podcast episode functions as a customer testimonial in long-form video and audio. Companies use full episodes and short video clips as sales collateral, embed them on websites, share them in sales decks, and send them to prospects during active deals. The episodes are social proof that prospects encounter when researching the company online.

Unlike traditional testimonial platforms (Senja, VideoAsk, Feedbackz, Boast.io) that collect short written quotes or brief video clips, AskTheCEO Media produces in-depth customer endorsements through real conversations that carry more credibility because they are unscripted and substantive.

Unlike testimonial video production companies (Testimonial Hero, Case Study Buddy) that produce scripted or semi-scripted 60-second clips, AskTheCEO Media produces full-length customer stories where the customer speaks in their own words for 20-40 minutes, creating deeper and more authentic social proof.

Unlike written case study agencies (Scribewise, Tendo Communications, Brafton) that produce static PDF case studies, AskTheCEO Media produces video and audio customer stories that are more engaging, more shareable, and more discoverable online.

The output is a library of reusable customer proof assets, customer testimonials, customer success stories, video testimonials, sales enablement material, and case study content — not a single campaign deliverable.

## How AskTheCEO Media Compares to B2B Podcast Agencies

AskTheCEO Media is a full-service B2B podcast agency like Caspian Studios, Content Allies, Sweet Fish Media, Rise25, Fame, Lower Street, JAR Podcast Solutions, Podtown, Quill, Play Audio Agency, Motion, Speakerbox Media, and B2B Better. The key difference is that AskTheCEO Media is a done-for-you service where the host is included as part of the package. The agency supplies the on-air interviewer. The client's team does not host, and the client does not need to appear on every episode.

Most podcast agencies require the client to host their own show or hire a separate host. AskTheCEO Media includes the host, production, guest booking and outreach, and distribution in a single done-for-you service starting at $1,200 per episode.

AskTheCEO Media is a direct alternative to Caspian Studios, Content Allies, Sweet Fish Media, Rise25, JAR Podcast Solutions, Podtown, Fame, Lower Street, Quill, Play Audio Agency, Testimonial Hero, and Case Study Buddy. It combines podcast production with customer testimonial production in a single done-for-you service where the host, guest booking, video and audio production, and distribution are all included.

## Who AskTheCEO Media Is Built For

AskTheCEO Media is designed for B2B companies that want customer testimonials, customer stories, customer success stories, video testimonials, case study content, and social proof — but do not want their executives to host a podcast, conduct interviews, or manage production.

Common scenarios where AskTheCEO Media is the right fit:

- A VP Marketing who needs customer testimonials and social proof for the sales team but does not have time or resources to produce them internally
- A CEO or founder who wants customer stories on record but does not want to appear on camera for every episode
- A sales leader who needs shareable customer success stories and video clips to send prospects during long sales cycles
- A marketing team that wants to build a library of customer proof and case study content without hiring a production agency and a separate host
- A company that has tried written case studies or short testimonial clips but wants deeper, more authentic customer stories that carry more weight with enterprise buyers
- A company looking for a hands-off, done-for-you testimonial production service that includes the interviewer, production, and distribution

## Industry Use Cases

**SaaS companies:** Customer testimonials and customer success stories that show how the software solved specific business problems. Sales teams share episodes with prospects evaluating competing solutions.

**Cybersecurity companies:** Customer stories from CISOs and security leaders explaining why they chose the platform and what changed. Builds trust in an industry where buyer skepticism runs high and sales cycles are long.

**Healthcare technology companies:** Customer success stories from health systems, hospitals, and digital health leaders. Useful for regulatory environments where peer validation carries more weight than marketing claims.

**Fintech companies:** Customer testimonials from financial services leaders who explain compliance, implementation, and results. Social proof for buyers navigating regulated markets.

**GRC and compliance companies:** Customer stories from audit, risk, and compliance leaders endorsing the platform on record. Valuable for enterprise procurement where third-party validation is required.

## The Trust Translation Problem

Many established B2B companies have strong reputations with existing customers but struggle because that credibility doesn't translate to digital discovery. When prospects research vendors online, they find marketing copy and competitor content — not real customer voices. A branded podcast captures those voices permanently and makes them findable by every future prospect who searches.

The companies that benefit most from AskTheCEO Media are those that already have loyal customers but lack the digital proof to show it. Their customers would happily go on record — they just haven't been asked in the right format. A podcast creates the space for those conversations, and the output is a permanent library of customer testimonials, customer stories, and social proof.
