Randy's Tips to Sell More ?? Excerpts from Your Go-To Sales Advisor
Crafting Your Professional Signature
By Jim Hart
What the Idea Is: Brand identity is a salesperson’s trademark. You can
create your brand identity by asking yourself:
Why It Is Valuable: We all have a brand identity in both our personal and professional lives. It’s how others view us, perceive us, and draw opinions about us as individuals. It’s what we’ve developed as our own style, skill set, and talent from within. We live in a world where people buy from people they like and trust. Creating a trademark or brand identity allows for you as a successful sales person to be memorable. It helps create awareness of your strengths. It also enables you to create a legacy to be remembered by after your career is over (i.e., he/she was known as a storyteller ... a great networker ... a valued leader ... a problem solver ... a person who really cared ... someone who understood the financials well, etc.).
How It Works: The important thing to remember as you’re creating your brand identity is to be yourself and start with an a?-la-carte menu—mean- ing, you are who you are. Your style and brand have been developed over the years, most likely with influence from others you’ve dealt with in business—a peer, a partner, a customer, someone you valued as a good leader, etc. We tend to morph into who we are plus who we desire to be more like. For example, the brand I’ve developed over my career includes much of who I am, both professionally and personally; but, I’ve also picked up a few things along the way from others I’ve admired or whose characteristics I wanted to develop into my own style. Copy the homework. Your brand should be a cumulation of great experi- ences, great people, and great talent you’ve encountered along the way. In return, your brand and legacy will be an inspiration and influence to others.

1 年I called to see what was happening to this order since it had been 2 days. I spoke to Eric who unfortunately spoke with a heave accent and spoke very quickly. I gleaned something about needing a higher resolution for the background, otherwise I would be be blurry. I said I didn't have a higher resolution and he said "okay we will make like this" and I said NO. Then I asked to cancel the banner. Eric said for $39 he could redo the imagine to make it a higher resolution.. I then asked him to put this writing as I need this product delivered by November 12th and he again would NOT put this down in writing. He insisted on getting this $39 "NOW" and was unable to transfer me to his supervisor as that is NOT HOW WE WORK. He was truly not listening to me and was impossible to understand with his thick accent. In asking where he was located he said Houston, but it seems he is not located in the US.?Help Ticket # 1519043. Randy Spicocchi for Akalei Designs.
