How to Sell
Your First Impression
“To succeed
in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.”
~ John H.
Patterson, Businessman
Whether you’re looking for a new
career path or determined to climb the corporate ladder in your business,
marketing yourself to the right people in an effective way can make all the
difference. During our day to day lives, we learn the skills to sell or promote
a certain product or service to all kinds of customers but, do we know how to
promote our self-image to build our careers?
The power of future potential is
more important to most companies than your past track record. Having an
impressive track record is something to show off and be proud of but, it’s what
you could become that will make business professionals stand up and notice you.
Focus on improving your personal sales pitch by including important topics
like; your future goals as an individual as well as for the company, share your
values and the ways you operate to show you have the potential to go above and
beyond what is needed.
Knowing the brand is also another
key factor in selling yourself. The strongest businesses know themselves, their
values and purpose in their consumer’s life. Learn and promote the brand and
industry to have a notable pitch that leaves the company wanting more of your
ideas and thoughts.
In this day and age when anyone can
look up a person’s name on social media sites, it’s important to show that you
aren’t just a profile, you are a proactive business professional looking to
prove yourself. Selling yourself should make you look passionate about your
work and further your career.
