Client Success Stories

What Our Clients Are Saying

Real results from real authors and business leaders who turned their expertise into lasting authority with Rise25.

“

"With Rise25's help, it's been pretty seamless. Both John and Jeremy and the whole team at Rise25 always lead with value first. They're always doing above and beyond what it takes to connect you to people that might be good to do business with. Rise25 handles all the backend, all the editing, all the uploading. I literally just have to get on a mic with a guest and do an interview, upload it to a Google Drive folder, and Rise25 takes care of the rest. Anybody that's looking to do a podcast or if I think they're a good candidate to start a podcast, I tell them you have to hire Rise25 to do it."

— Kellianne Fedio “

"Working with Rise25 is worth every penny and more … and I know it will continue to pay off for a long time to come. Not just in monetary ways, but through the relationships that have been built."

— Adrienne Richardson “

"What a neat, unique way to connect with people that isn't a hard sale—it's not scary, confrontational, or awkward. I reached out to a handful of people before we even launched the podcast, and three of the first four responded right away saying, 'Call me in the morning, we need to talk.' That kind of return before launch is incredible. Having just barely engaged with Rise25, I can already say I'm closer to doing deals—and we don't even have a podcast name yet."

— Austin Clark “

"It's a wonderful business development tool for getting referrals and for getting signed customers. It puts you in a different position. You are coming to them, offering to help promote their product or mission, as opposed to you trying to sell them. You learn so much from the interview itself. You can't get that from a sales call."

— G. Steve Cleere “

"Once I really understood Rise25's strategy, I was bought in—and I've just been following it ever since. I've already signed my second coaching client strictly through the podcast, and we've only been on the air for about two months. What I really appreciate about Rise25 is how incredibly responsive they are—all I do is push record, send it over, and they make it all work."

— Dov Pollack “

"I got three referrals and one client before I even launched my podcast—one of them paid me $5,000 right away, so Rise25 basically paid for itself for 10 years before I even recorded an episode. Most people think podcast income comes from getting listeners or subscribers, but it's the opposite—it's about the relationships and connections. ROI before recording sounds crazy, but it's absolutely possible—and I've experienced it firsthand."

— Luis Scott About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about our audiobook production services.

What does your audiobook production service include? ▾ We aim to be your easy button for audiobook production. Our full-service offering covers everything from script review and audio formatting, to recording sessions, professional editing and mastering, platform submission, and multi-platform distribution. We handle every technical and logistical detail so you don't have to. How long does production take? ▾ Our typical timeline is 5–6 weeks from kickoff to distribution. This covers script review, recording, editing, mastering, quality assurance, and submission to all major platforms. Timeline can vary depending on the length of the manuscript and whether you choose author narration or professional voice talent. Can I narrate my own book? ▾ Absolutely — and in many cases, we recommend it. Hearing a business book in the author's own voice creates a uniquely personal connection with listeners. Our team will coach you through the recording process, provide technical support, and ensure your delivery is confident and professional. If you'd prefer professional voice talent, we handle casting, direction, and management of the entire narration process. What platforms do you distribute to? ▾ We distribute to all major audiobook platforms, including Audible (via ACX), Apple Books, Spotify, Google Play, Libro.fm, and others. We handle all submission requirements, metadata, chapter markers, and cover art specifications for each platform. How much does it cost? ▾ Pricing depends on the length of your manuscript, your narration approach, and the scope of add-on services you choose. We do a deep dive to understand your goals and build a package that fits your needs — we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. Contact us for a custom quote. Can you repurpose my audiobook into other content? ▾ Yes — and this is one of our strongest capabilities. We can transform your audiobook chapters into podcast episodes, social media audiograms, blog posts, email content, and YouTube videos. Many of our clients find that the repurposed content generates as much business value as the audiobook itself. Do I need a finished manuscript to get started? ▾ You should have a substantially complete manuscript before we begin production. However, our team can review it with you and advise on any structural or formatting adjustments needed to optimize it for the listening experience before we move into recording. How do you measure ROI from an audiobook? ▾ We track outcomes including new client inquiries, speaking opportunities, referral relationships, and direct revenue attribution from listeners and gift recipients. We also help you build an intentional strategy around how you use the audiobook — whether that's direct sales, a gifting program, a lead magnet, or a content repurposing engine — so results are measurable from the start.
