Building your LeaderBrand - Personal Branding, Digital Marketing, Sales, Leadership & Entrepreneurship for Expert Business Owners & Executives. Breaking the Hamster Wheel : Doing Business Differently, with Oliver Banks
I'm excited to finally share my interview with Oliver Banks! Oliver, a retail transformation expert, shares some great insights on navigating change and transforming your business.
Here are 3 takeaways from our conversation:
💡 Personal branding is key: Your personal brand exists in the minds of your target audience, and associating with certain people can enhance it. Your brand capital is a strong marketing and referral tool, and your potential competitors will have to neutralise it in their pitches.
💡 Start before you're ready: Don't wait for the perfect plan before taking action. Launching something like a podcast or YouTube channel generally receives positive feedback, and managing expectations is key. Weak growth at the beginning is normal, and there's a process in podcast growth that people don't understand.
💡 Content is SO important: Content generation offers more room for error than other types of ventures, and it can be a mix of inbound and outbound sales tactics. Referrals are important, but content can also help maintain relationships with past clients or contacts.
