Master Your Market - Chris Ashmore
Don’t underestimate the power of authenticity and the impact of personal branding on building trust and connection with clients.
Personal branding is crucial for information professionals and those who sell intellectual property.
Andrew Ford is a personal brand expert who discusses the importance of personal branding and how it differs from business branding. He explains that there are three brands in any business: personal brand, business brand, and product brands.
Andrew shares with me his insights on creating a personal brand website, leveraging social media, and the importance of quality content over quantity.
Creating a Powerful Pitch - Business Essentials Podcast
Andrew Ford, Founder of Social Star, has turned the elevator pitch on its head with his own pitch structure which aims to be more conversational. The standard elevator pitch, he insists, is one-directional and lacks true engagement. With practice, your pitch shouldn’t feel like selling; instead, it should feel like you’re providing answers to someone’s questions. The challenge Andrew sets out to solve is getting them to ask you questions.
