About Preston
Ernest Preston Manning, born on June 10, 1942, is a retired Canadian politician. He was the founder and the only leader of the Reform Party of Canada, a federal political party that later evolved into the Canadian Alliance and ultimately contributed to the formation of the Conservative Party of Canada. Manning represented the federal constituency of Calgary Southwest in the Canadian House of Commons from 1993 until his retirement in 2002. He served as the leader of the Official Opposition from 1997 to 2000. Manning is the son of former Social Credit Premier of Alberta Ernest Manning. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics in 1964 and gained prominence in 1987 when he and allies created the Reform Party, which was rooted in anti-establishment right-wing populism with a regionalist focus on Western Canada. The party won its first seat in 1989 and saw significant growth in the 1993 federal election, securing 52 seats. By the 1997 federal election, the party increased its representation to 60 seats and became the Official Opposition. Although Manning did not become prime minister, he played a key role in the party's rise. After losing the leadership of the Canadian Alliance in 2000 to Stockwell Day, Manning continued serving in Parliament until his retirement. He remains active in Conservative Party politics and campaigns and is recognized for founding the green conservative movement in Canada. Following his retirement, Manning established the Manning Foundation for Democratic Education and the Manning Centre for Building Democracy, organizations dedicated to strengthening Canadian democracy aligned with conservative principles.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
