Many of us have thought about the impression we make with people both personally and professionally. But have we really considered the importance of having a personal brand? Kenyetta Gordon joins the show today to speak about just how crucial it is, especially for salespeople.
Kenyetta is an author, image and branding consultant, and owner of 11:Eleven Reveals, a personal brand development agency. Your personal brand is about presenting your image to the world and telling your story, before others tell it for you. And it's not just the big things. She goes into the intricacies and details that matter so much. Listen as she walks through the entire process of how she works with clients from their look, to communication, to camera presence, and do's and don'ts of social media. It starts by knowing yourself, and not pretending to be something you're not, and then bringing the best of that to your particular audience.
