attract?
What do they know?
What language do they speak?
Formal or casual?
Make a list of current customers. What
do they have in common?

Brag about your great clients
What have you helped them do?
Natural talents?
What do other people compliment me on?

23. Be consistent in
your branding. Same
pic and handle across
all networks, for example

Do they know what you’re talking about? Is it that they don’t have time and are outsourcing or they don’t have any idea and you are selling to them? — Seeming like you are an expert is one thing, don’t overwhelm them though so they don’t know what you mean
Not just native language but be careful about what jargin you use
How are they addressing your email? What are they wearing? Posture? Respond the way they are
Problems they have to solve right away
Me: I make it so your perfect customers find your business online
On social media
Or what did you already?
I'd expect people who follow me on Facebook to see a different side of me to LinkedIn etc.. For the whole to be congruent but each profile to also stand alone effectively
