Are You Capitalizing on the Unique You?
When you finally get called in for that special interview, how are you going to distinguish the unique you from the other 200 job applicants? How you enter the building, office and interview setting sets the stage. How you deliver will either end your run or bring back a command performance. So it is very important to review who you are in terms of hopes, dreams and desires – and then translate that into profiling the most desired job and career. This is the key to finding happiness in the employed world.
The same holds true for building a business. If you feel half-hearted about the business you are in, chances are you will not be successful. So it is important to know what excites you, where your talent lies and how you may capitalize on this as your next endeavor. In order to succeed at anything, there are several elements involved:
– Belief you will be successful
– Determination to succeed
– Perseverance on your plan of action
– Get the required help on an as needed basis
As you succeed on your path, think about the next exciting project you may undertake as a career stepping stone or new service for your business. As you keep adding to your repertoire of past endeavors and the additions complement what went before, you will continue to uniquely build your brand. This is your marketing communication messaging of who you are, the leader in you and how prospects and clients may come to depend upon you. In other words, building of your brand is also your business development.
My experience was to learn as much as I could about corporate sales, interview multiple times to improve my career, and later write to tell what happened so that others may learn from my experiences. In turn, this catapulted my sales coaching and sales training programs and encouraged me to teach others how to write books and so my brand continues to grow.
Prior to your next interview or appointment with a prospect – review who you are and with whom you wish to work. When you find the right prospects, work to build the relationships. You will soon attract the job offer or your very next clients – making for a very Smooth Sale!
