Your personal brand plays a huge part in your success. It is attached to your name and often times your name will show up before you do. (That is if you are putting it out there for people to know more about you) This is the best time to connect and build collaborations both online and offline. Working on your success and making an impact can be done on your own but it costs more and takes longer. We are definitely stronger together.
Understand that in any business word of mouth marketing is still one of the key ways to build your reputation and revenue. Listening to what your ideal customer needs and wants will always put you in a position to succeed. It will also take authenticity! People can always spot a taker and a giver. In the end, givers will always receive more and come out ahead of the pack. In this episode, Kearn shares her experience as the butts in seats Queen!
Kearn dropped nuggets about what it means to show up with a brand that wants to succeed!
~ Show up looking like you are ready to succeed
~ Don't just sit and wait for things to happen
~ Take your experience and flip it on its head (What can you use from each experience?)
~ Build a brand network
Through key conversations, you are able to be seen and heard. Yes, that even includes turning on your camera during a zoom call. Make the most of every encounter and treat social media as a networking meetup.
Here are the five tips Kearn shared to help you get a yes for that next speaking opportunity.
1. Always have a bio (short, mini and regular)
2. Have a high-resolution headshot
3. Speaker One Sheet is valuable
4. Have a website
5. Videos are great for your brand
Oh, and Kearn discussed other key things that she personally looks for when going through the hundreds of speaker applications that she receives for the Power Up Summit and the Success Women's Conference. Always remember that what you bring to the event shout be valuable even before you step on the stage. Promoting, sharing in your community and other small gestures will prove that you are a commodity to the event and event host. Being invited is just part of the equation...you become an ambassador for the event.
Meet Kearn Crockett Cherry
One thing I discovered while building my health care business for 22 years: Success must be taken! I've found my purpose in empowering women and coaching others on how to build relationships, connections, and sponsorships. My most recent successes included co-authoring "Women Inspiring Nations" and "Unboxed: 25 Women Share How To Break Free & Soar." Two of the achievements I'm most proud of is launching my own TV show, "Unwrinkled Heart" and co-founding the Success Women's Conference (www.successconference.info), one of the Top 10 conferences for professional women in the U.S. Follow me on the Success podcast and learn more about my story — I hope it will inspire you to take your own success!
