Your Brand IS Your Business.
Marketing is the easy part. It is easy to say anything you want in your external marketing messages to entice prospects to work with you. And sure, that might work for a while, but it’s clearly NOT sustainable. What is not so easy is to create a sense of complete distinction and engagement when they arrive at your ‘door’ with a specific expectation, without doing the internal development on what your brand actually represents + promises. Let alone, doing this over and over again CONSISTENTLY through every customer touch point and via every employee you hire.
But you already have a brand. The question is,
“Are you + your employees aware of & in control of it?”
That is why the step-by-step Brand DNA process was created. Truly successful brands don’t get established through external marketing messages, it starts internally within the hearts and minds of the leaders, employees, and culture of your business. We just have to discover it, define it, and become it.
70% of your customers’ perception of your brand is based on
the EXPERIENCE they have of the people representing your brand.
These statements ring true for my best clients, do they for you?
You started your business to make a difference. You believe you offer something unique, better, more powerful, more impactful, and you are driven to showcase it.
You believe your employees are your greatest assets. They bring life to it, expand it, make it more interesting, and leverage your vision. It is important to you that each employee is fully on board with the brand promise and is inspired to represent it within their work. You dig the hum of teamwork, support, and an ‘I got your back’ attitude.
Everyday you strive to be better. Your not afraid to spend money to improve how you serve others, in fact you constantly seek out ways to elevate the delivery of your product or service, even the smallest of nuances, and seek compelling ways to implement them, and you want your entire team to embrace it.
You have a deep passion for what you do; it’s “your baby.” You worry about how it is growing, developing and what it will ultimately evolve into. You are proud of what you do and how you serve others, and want to bring your employee team along on this journey.
You respect expertise. You know a lot and love to learn, but you’re also keen to understand you cannot know it all. You seek out others who can ‘fill in the blanks’ with expertise that will help grow your business faster. You enjoy powerful collaboration towards growth, and want to include your employees to inspire their ‘ownership’ in what they do.
You thrive with momentum. Impatience is not your best feature, but it helps you keep things moving forward and evolving the business to the next level. You embrace change that inspires you to become better collectively as a team.
You are a calculated risk-taker. Entering into the unknown excites you, but you first check in with your gut, and when it feels right, you commit full on and see it out. You relish in over the top results, and understand the power of inspiring your team to achieve!
You pride yourself on impacting other’s lives. You strive to deliver distinctive, memorable experiences that awaken people to a new way to experience what you offer, and especially when they acknowledge your brand ‘Why.’
