Why a Reputation Cuts Through Competition

If you have competitors, my message to you is clear. All business is personal.

Even the biggest deals, orders, projects, funds, sales and contracts come down to two or more people making a connection.

If your ‘profit’ is more influence, respect, clients, support, challenge, reputation or excitement, you must go through other people to get it.

Your reputation and standing with these people is vital to your success.

Your reputation is your personal share price on the individual stock market of business.

It's the opinion others have of you. It's what they're saying behind your back. It's all that's left of you when you've gone and they're holding your business card wondering what to do next.

If you understand relationships, you'll begin to understand reputation.

RELATIONSHIPS = REPUTATION

Challenging times call for challenging strategies! While tough times come and go, tough people remain, which is why you need to work on the four things your competitors cannot duplicate or replicate:
  1. Yourself.
  2. Your reputation.
  3. Your network.
  4. Your relationships.
