Key Points

How to get a personal brand: 

  • It’s easier to build a personal brand than a company brand. It’s easier to use long-term strategies. The goal is for someone to install what you talk about and see positive results. 
  • With a personal brand, you can do powerful things that companies aren’t incentivized to do. 
  • You only need 10 true fans 
  • How to have the best content in the world is a strategy you have been successful with personally and a subject niche enough that you can have the best content available. Find your niche. Figure out what topic you can write the best content in the world about. 
  • A niche interest can actually appeal to several thousand people. 

How to leverage your personal brand: 

  • You have the person with the brand simply invite people. They simply need to notify their networks, and they will boost responses. 
  • It works on any list. Isolate the decision makers, and have the person with the brand in your space introduce the prospect to an SDR. 
  • Reach out to potential opportunity leads, and get a crazy response rate!
