Market Yourself In Massive Ways
We're in an economy where there's a lot of noise and everyone has something to say. Its a real challenge to get heard, especially if you've got a great message. We all want to be heard, but at the same time we want to make an impact. Here are 3 effective ways to cut through the noise, and get results:
1. Have Consistent Messaging
Most people fail to have a consistent message across their online profiles. Infact in most cases you'll see outdated content, unfinished profiles, and stuff that's absolutely irrelevant. Why would you want to dilute your message? Anyone can now search your name on Google, and the search results will now determine whether they want to work with you or not. In order to be more effective with your career, you need to have more impact online. If you keep your brand consistent, that alone will allow repetition to make your messaging impactful.
2. Always Follow Up
If you're reaching out to people, make sure you follow up. In this digital age, people need to follow up more than ever! It takes more persistence to win these days, which is why you've got to be more aggressive (not rude) with your approach. Create a habit to reach out to people that haven't yet returned your calls or emails. Get used to this. You'll stay busy, and you'll get better results.
3. Plan Strategically & Tactically
You've got to think ahead. There's no such thing as a "one trick pony", you've got to think both in the short and long run. Which means week by week, and month by month, you must know what you're doing. You've got to be calculated and methodical. When its time to execute, you must absolutely deliver! Which means you must be tactical as well. You've got to know what are the most effective and best approaches out there. The right tactics, with the right timing will give you a killer competitive advantage.
