Hi Jeanette,

Good point about deciding whether you want to be a Chevy or a Mercedes. Boiling things down to simple concepts like that is essential to creating your personal brand.

Terrific example that explains how to develop your personal brand. Another way to look at is to compare yourself to another familiar object. If you’re selling a product do you want to be the lower cost provider — are you a Chevrolet? — and make money on volume? Or the higher cost provider — a Mercedes-Benz — and sell fewer cars at a higher price? Thanks for a new way of looking at personal branding.

As usual, Shoya, great advice. So easy to do, yet it’s easy to neglect the simple things that are easy to do but will pay dividends. Thanks for the reminder!

Like your suggestions Laura.

That VAGUE mistake is unfortunately all too familiar. It’s the cousin of this one.

When people say, “Because what I do is somewhat complicated, … ” and then they babble on about something COMPLICATED. Hey buster. I prefer you explain what you do for me so I have some what of an understanding before I either listen to you or want to meet up.

What do you do isn’t a loaded question but many people’s answers are!

Excellent advice, Laura. Another tip is to keep your self-introduction short. It should be a grabber. You don’t want to give your complete history. The point is to get your listener to respond, “Tell me more.” Then you’re on your way to a potential sale.
