Chapter 4 : Let People Know Who You Are-Distinguish Yourself

Synopsis

Promoting services or products or one’s self is pretty much the same thing. The only difference is in the style and type of promotion used. In order to be able to separate one’s self from the rest and stand out favorably there are certain ideas or tip that can be followed.

It is not something to be taken lightly if individual want to get ahead in their careers or life in general. Relying on the merits of self promotion in order to distinguish one’s self from the rest is sometimes the only thing that stands between failure and success.

Here are some of the tips to follow:

  • The ability to identify and add value to portray one’s self as an advantageous choice over others is important. This form of branding will ensure the potential client stays interested enough to enquire of the added value mentioned.
  • Making a presentation form the added value angle with total confidence is another attractive feature to practice. The confidence shown will not only act as a plus point but will also impress the potential client. However coming on too strong could have the exact opposite negative results, as the confidence element maybe misconstrued as arrogance.
  • Being able to “read” a situation or people and adjust the approach line accordingly is also advised. One sales pitch does not work for all circumstances. In being intuitive one is able to change game plans easily, quickly, and easily.
  • Target the right people. Don’t waste people’s time with irrelevant information if the matter does not concern them. Doing this is unnecessary and also shows the ill informed state of the individual.
  • Keep things short and simple, yet impactful. Being long winded with purposeful use of technically termed language can be very boring and annoying if it is not suitable conversation material for the listener.
