Here’s what we’re not talking about: 

• SEO
• CRM
• RFP
• Hashtags
• Converting Twitter into cash
• Tricking people into paying for stuff
But we WILL talk about how to:

• Create a brand that means something
• Communicate with power & precision
• Compel someone to give a crap

1. There is always enough $$ for 

the right solution.

2. There are clients everywhere.
Twoassumptions
Show of hands.
We all want from each
other what we have the
least to offer:

Attention.
We have to make
what we have
worth
other people’s time
How do I
stand out?
Problem#1
You aren’t talking to the right people
You’re trying to be all things to all people
You haven’t specified the who
Language is vague, unclear
No one gets what you do / why you’re different
Ex: Melody
Use their words
Be specific & straightforward
Be granular, not general
Instead
…call out the key issue & own it
Basket v. picker
Your brand.
It’s what you / your business
MEANS to other people.
It’s not just how they see you,
but how YOU see you.
Promise.
Presence.
Practice.
Try it: Explain it
to a fifth grader
Surveymonkey
Google forms
1:1 conversations
3 star Amazon reviews
Social media polling
Networking events
Ask
(the right people).
Then, listen.
Problem#2
you’re leading with features / benefits
You’re job- and task-oriented.
You’re leading with what you do, 

not who you are.
You are thinking inside your machine.
Instead
…think bigger
Understand their larger problem
Lead with the what/why
Think like them, not like you
Be bigger than your business
Ex: The data scientist
Problem#3
fear of focus
You’re mistaking broad for big
You’re mistaking niche for “limited”
You’re missing an opportunity
Instead
…Pitch your niche
Plant your flag
Raise the stakes
Think like a rocket, not a sprinkler system
Ex: Adrienne,
former catch-all marketing pro
turned FB ad specialist
Started ~ 10K/month as a marketer.
She now earns 65K/mo for 10 clients.
Problem#4
You are thinking transaction, not transformation
You end up with little jobs that don’t add up
You can’t charge much, because there’s no
added value
You are being reactive instead of proactive
Do a deep dive first - lay out the big picture
See what you do as a premium service
Just because you can do a job, doesn’t mean
you should
Also: Don’t get business blinders
Instead
…think like a chef, not a short-order cook
Problem#5
you’re offering info, not insight
You’re afraid to take a stance
You’re afraid of alienating / offending
You’re not changing my life / perspective
Ex: Hillary
Instead
…take a stronger stance
Think like a thought leader
Have an opinion about your industry
Raise the stakes
Hit a nerve
Let’s take, for example, the
course I just launched. 

From zip.
Started with a list size of “0”
Grew to 900+ in 2 months
2% conversion rate (13 enrolled)
$20,000+ launch
6-week online course for experts, authors,
entrepreneurs who want media attention.
• Gave away a free pdf
• Gave away a free video course
• Enlisted a few affiliates
• Podcast interviews
• FB ads
• Email marketing campaign
• Content marketing
• Events
• Webinars (even FB Live!)
What we used
• “But I’m not an expert!”
• “I don’t have time to do this.”
• “Why should anyone listen to me?”
• “I don’t know who or what to pitch.”
Objections
Competitor positioning
• Be your own publicist
• A PR firm charges you $$$ and doesn’t
promise you a thing!
• You need media training
Our Positioning
• Being in the media is a game changer
• You don’t need any special certifications
• You need to know how to position your own brand
• Don’t be a one-hit wonder
• We have experience on both sides of the gate
(plus we draw on other parts of our brands)
• We are not a replacement for PR
OK. But why do I need this?

few ideas:

3 pieces of jewelry every 30 days.
