- Many people recognize the birth of personal branding to be when an article was first published by Tom Peters in FastCompany Magazine (“A Brand Called You”)He stated: Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.”This presentation is meant to:Help you define your personal brandEducate you on managing your imageEncourage you to leverage & maximize 3 personal branding areas: LinkedIn, a Personal Website and Networking
- Jerry’s one client, a pro footballplayer named Rod Tidwell (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) Rod decides to become a free agentbut discovers he’s having a really hard time getting the contract he wants. Jerry keeps telling him it’s a branding issue: the way Rod perceives himself doesn’t alignwith the way others in the business perceive him. And the value Rod feels he brings to thegame doesn’t match up with what others see.Jerry tells Rod that his attitude is hurting him and that people think theonly thing he cares about is money.So, essentially, Jerry tells him to fix his brand. He needs to be more authentic andshow more of who he really is in order to be competitive.
- People will always have an opinion about you, no matter what you do. It’s important to uncover your brand in order to comfortably communicate to out to the world. Ultimately, you want to come up with something your “known” for that clearly demonstrates value.Some additional questions you can ask yourself to help you get there…What problem do you love to solve at work?What’s your process or methodology for doing it?What analogy can you use from everyday life to help someone understand better what you do?What proof do you have that what you say is true?What do you want to do next with this valuable skill?
- Now… Think of three emotional words that best describe you and write them down. Think about your business cards, profile images, and professional headlines. Those three words should inform all of those elements and everything that you do moving forward. Every sentence you write or introduction of yourself that you make. The benefit of this approach is that you will always be seen consistently & remembered for who you are.Steve Jobs -“innovative,” “polished,” and “underdog power.”Paris Hilton - “conceited,” “spoiled,” and “lost at sea.”
- Your profile is not completeLinkedIn periodically changes how it measures profile completenessCheck your completeness peridically – it does affect how you rank in searches & other LinkedIn experiencesYou hardly appear in searchesYou have tools that LinkedIn provides that trend how often you are appearing in searchesCheck the content of your profile if you are not appearing that oftenPeople won’t accept your invitationsIf you are sending out a lot of invitations & not receiving many acceptances then pause and re-evaluate your strategyIt’s important that people don’t look at you as an “invitation spammer”People don’t reach out to youIf you are active, it is only natural for people to reach out to you after awhileIf no one wants to connect with you, ask yourself these questionsAre you courteous and professional in all your interactions? Do you limit your updates and interactions to professional (rather than personal) ones?Do you promote others in your network (for example, retweeting others’ blog posts) instead of limiting yourself to self-promotion? Have you joined one or two targeted open networking groups to help build your LinkedIn network quickly? Is the text of your headline and summary compelling so that people would want you in their networks?People are confused about what you offerIf people seem confused about what you do and what you offer, then take a look at your profileMake sure to clearly state your focus and focus on what you offer versus what you want
- Your NameKeep this clear and conciseDon’t add acronyms and credentials to it2. Professional HeadlineUse Keywords & Compelling WordsTry to Work in A Value Proposition if Possible3. PictureHave a professional quality photoTry to have a plain, uncluttered backgroundMake sure that you are smiling in the photo4. ConnectionMake it your goal to reach over 500 connectionThis is social proof and extends your networkMany ppl view 500+ as unofficial super connector statusThe author Keith Ferrazzi uses the term in his book Never Eat Alone, here’s his definition:“Super Connectors are people who maintain contact with thousands of people in many different worlds and know them well enough to give them a call. Restauranteurs, headhunters, lobbyists, fundraisers, public relations people, politicians, and journalists are the best super-connectors because it’s their job to know EVERYONE.”5. Add Relevant Contact Information6. Twitter / Web sitesIt’s important to add your handle so that people can follow you on twitter alsoYour allowed a listing of 3 websites. Do not use generic names for your sites. Always change the words to describe what you offer. Consider multiple links to the same site in some instances7. Customize your profile URLSelect a vanity URL that is your name. If someone already has it, use a middle initial or designation
- 8. Status Updates Update often (some say you should do it daily) to show up in the news feed of your connections and appear active on Linked In9/10/11. Summary Use keywordsWrite in first personInclude things like: Who you are, Who should connect with you & How You Can Help ThemAlways end with a call to action directing people what to do next
- 12/13. Videos / MultimediaYou can add these to the summary section and below each experience sectionA video can really set a profile apart. It can be a welcome video, video talking about what you have to offer, or a testamonial14. Skills & Expertise Click on the “More” tab on the LinkedIn Navigation Bar then click on “Skills” Add a list of your skills & keep keywords in mind that you think people will be searching for.. Make sure that anything that you add you will want to be known / endorsed for
- 15. Projects Section Can highlight particular projects of interest Draw attention to free reportsor downloads Showcase products that you are promoting16/17. Experience Use keywords in the title and description Only use years (do not feel like you have to list months)For every position include the following: • What your company does • What you do in the company • Who your customers are • What services you offer
- 18. Recommendations Ask people that you know for a recommendation Customize the message when you make the request Keep in mind that one of the best ways to get a recommendation is to give them19. Volunteer Experience & Causes List things that you are actually involved with or passionate about20. Honors & AwardsIf you have received a particular honor & awards talk about them It provides you with added credibility and reinforces that you are an achiever
- LinkedIn describes its Groups this way: they “provide a placefor professionals in the same industry or with similar intereststo share content, find answers, post and view jobs, makebusiness contacts, and establish themselves as industryexperts.”This areais still fairly under utilized by people on LinkedIn By actively participating in a Group, it will show that you are serious about your career and that you can write / interact on a professional level. Your authored group posts can be made visible on your profile so anyone looking at your profile is aware of your professional knowledge. Participating in group is an easy way to broaden your network – connecting & messaging people who are not in your connections. SUPER-COOL TIP: To message a non-connection in oneof your groups, do this: go to the group, find the personyou want to message, hover over their picture, click on“send message” on the middle of the bottom of the popupbox.
