“Having done thousands of interviews over the years, I’m still baffled at how some of my favorite showbiz pros and newsmakers are so unprepared when it come to talking to the media, “ says Murphy. “So to help them out, I decided to write the quintessential ‘insider’s guide to giving a killer interview’ so that established stars and soon-to-be stars (on and off the Red Carpet) would have the same successful media tools that celebrities use.”

If anyone knows what sells in the media - and how to tell it to sell it when creating savvy messages about business, products, services and careers -- it’s Gayl Murphy.

When “Interview Tactics!” was first published, The Orange County Register wrote she was “sleeping with the enemy” by coaching newbies - transforming them into Media Stars. Murphy has been called in by some of the most prominent companies in world. Among her consulting clients are Parsons Engineering, Geffen Records, The Walt Disney Company, Sony Pictures, The X-Prize Foundation, Nettwerk Management, NBC Television, The Nederland Company, Warner Brothers Records and The Buck Institute for Age Research, in addition to a plethora of authors, experts, online gurus, lifestyle gurus, rock stars and creative entrepreneurs.

“When it comes to telling the world about who you are and what you do, your business, product or service can’t speak for you. No one can, “Murphy says. “If you can’t tell your own story, who can? And who will?” You’ve got to pitch it to promote it, so you can tell it to sell it! “Having a concise message and business pitch, regardless of what media you’re using - means taking your cues from what’s already successful.”

And that’s where Gayl Murphy comes in.
