This past Tuesday morning I attended Philly Business Connect’s Connections Over Coffee meetup.?I hadn’t been able to make the last few and this one made me realize I need to start making more. Along with some laid back and energized conversations, Charley Timmins of Personal Marketing Associates LLC, gave a killer talk on how to "Stop Selling and Start Serving".?As an expert on personal branding for professional service providers and selling, he discussed how it’s all about trust and what allows people to trust others. Your positioning statement is critical.?If you and what you’re selling doesn’t resonate when you initially meet people, you’re usually done.?How to best position yourself starts with answers to these questions: ?? Whom do you serve? ?? What do you do? ?? Why do you do it? ?? To what end? ?? What role do you play in making this happen? Some other pearls of wisdom included: ?? Decisions are made in the heart and justified in the mind ?? People don’t like being sold, but they do love to buy ?? Win hearts, shape minds, influence outcomes Another valuable event put on by Anna Ehlenberger with Ryan Harbinson ?? ??’s support! And shout out to Denise Linn and M&T Bank for hosting.
