Four Parts of a Well Positioned Consulting or Coaching Brand (Ep47)
Today, I'm continuing my Brand You series. Last week I shared with you what a brand is and why you need one. If you missed it, definitely go back and listen.
But first, I have big news! After living in Orlando for over 30 years, I moved to Denver! Significant time change that I will tell you about later. One of the changes I had to make was with my car, as the Toyota Corolla I bought a few months ago isn’t going to work in the mountains. And everyone had one recommendation for me – a Subaru, which should arrive any day. And this whole experience is a perfect example of the power of a well-positioned brand.
The big takeaway from this episode is that you have a brand whether you do branding work or not because, ultimately, consumers position brands. So the key is to take charge of that impression by understanding how consumers position brands which is what today’s episode is all about.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- The big mistakes consultants and coaches make in branding
- How the stronger the link between a specific problem or situation and you, the stronger your brand will be
- How to frame your unique and distinct expertise
- Why you need to understand the deeper meaning, higher purpose, and intangible value you offer to clients
Our goal is to get your brand Suburu clear – meaning that the connection between you and the clients you want to help is so strong that you become the obvious no-brainer choice or recommendation.
