The Problem

 

As a leader of a professional services practice, you have probably noticed the competition is getting fierce for clients – in fact you are no longer competing in your own town, county or state – you have to consider the competition globally.

 

Businesses are outsourcing key functions to different countries across the globe; each week new professional services practices are being established; and the internet has made it easier for clients to undertake their own research for appropriate solutions.

 

You must STAND OUT from your competitors if you are to succeed in your chosen market place by establishing and positioning  yourself as an expert, building credibility and clearly communicating the value you add to your clients.  In other words, you must instill in them YOU are the solution they have been searching for.

 

As consumers we are increasingly exposed to the power of branding.  If we are living in a metropolitan area it is estimated we are bombarded with over 3,500 different advertising messages every day! 

 

So how do consumers choose one product over another?  They do so based on price, ease of access and availability, emotional connection (such as how much they trust, like and respect the company and product or service they are considering) and on a functional level, how well it does the job they want it to do – all of these constitute a 'strong brand' if well executed.

 

As a result, you must STAND OUT from your competitors if you are to:

  Achieve the level of compensation or fee you desire and deserve

  Be selective about which clients or assignments you take on

  Build an enviable client list and a list of people waiting to work with you

  Achieve your goals and have time for fun, family and friends

 

But how do you build your brand to attract your ideal clients and differentiate yourself from the seemingly similar professional services firms you are competing against?

The Solution ...

 

Get BrandID™ is a fast moving brand building programme that not only leads you through key strategies proven to build successful careers and businesses, but guides you in how to apply them to your business in just 6 weeks! 

The objective of the programme is to guide you in how to Bring YOUR Brand to Life™ so you:

   Discover how to build a strong brand positioning you as the expert of choice

        for your target market

   Fill your professional practice with the clients you love to work with

  Grow your business but with systems in place that mean you reduce the

      stress and pressure of leading your own business

 

All of which results in an increase in your profitability and enhances your professional success

 

But what is a brand?  

 

There are many definitions of a brand, but in essence it’s a synthesis of elements: aesthetic, rational and emotional that in combination give the consumer a reason to choose one product over another.  It defines a unique quality or a promise AND delivery of value that sets a business or product apart from the competition.  

 

In the 21st century, people are increasingly making purchasing decisions based on the perceived value and emotions a brand evokes within them.  The Volvo brand, for example, promises safety.  Yes, it’s a little more expensive than other vehicles, but the extra value of safety for the family is what makes the sale.

 

How is branding relevant to professional services practices?

 

Whether you are an entrepreneur or service professional, the only way to truly succeed in the 21st century economy, achieve your professional goals and win in your market place is to differentiate yourself and communicate your unique and authentic brand.

 

Branding is not only for large corporations - quite the contrary.  Individuals are now packaging themselves as personal corporations with press kits, tag lines, websites, online portfolios, and blogs (weblogs or on-line diaries) allowing them to keep lines of communication constantly open between themselves and their customers. 

 

But note the following: Branding is NOT spin – it’s not about building a special image for your clients: it’s about understanding what is truly unique about you, your strengths, expertise, values and passions – and using that to differentiate yourself and guide your career and business decisions. 

 

Branding is about differentiation.  It’s about using what makes YOU outstanding, so you stand out from the myriad of others offering seemingly similar services. 

 

Remember everyone you come in contact with may be a potential client or has the ability to connect you with a colleague, business acquaintance or family member who may be your ideal client!

 

Being clear about your brand, being consistent with your offering, and being constantly within your target audience’s radar will open the door to great professional and personal success.

Building YOUR brand is THE most effective way to grow your business ... and it’s fun!

 

The result will be that people call you to seek out your expertise. 

We’ll show you how to unlock and leverage your unique strengths, talents and skills and package them in a way that is authentic and compelling to your potential clients so you feel confident in telling people about who you are and what you do.

The following are typical results that previous clients have experienced:

 

"As a television producer I’m keenly aware of the importance of branding to the success of a company or individual. So when I decided to take my TV experience online and brand myself as a Lifestyle Expert, I called on Krishna to help steer my path to success.

With laser like focus, Krishna zeroed in on who I really was and what my message was all about. She was full of ideas and resources to help me bestexpress my brand in a global way.

As a result I’ve created several of my own e-products and a teleseminar series on the way. I’m right on track and experiencing amazing growth in my business."

Deborah Boland
www.tvimagelive.com

 

"I am delighted I learned the importance of branding from Krishna. I never make a move without a quick consult with her. I respect her ideas so much, that I have her as a guest speaker for my “30 Day to Radio Success” course to teach my clients about the importance of originality when it comes to being a guest on radio.

It doesn’t matter if you are new to business or have been doing it for decades, time spent with Krishna will be money earned. Krishna is an integral piece to your success puzzle!"

Wayne Kelly
www.onairpublicity.com

"3 months of working with Krishna De has allowed me to develop my business from a good idea in my head to one that has already secured a lucrative contract, immediately doubling my income from last year.

Krishna is supportive and challenging, and consistently goes the extra mile for her clients in the pursuit of outstanding business results. In defining my target market, developing my brand from website through to products, she has stimulated and inspired my thinking toward greater heights of what is possible.

A word of warning – do not work with Krishna if you and your business are not ready to be propelled forward through practical, useful and inspirational examples, tools and strategies. Business opportunities for you walk by every minute of every day - If you are ready to recognise and take them up, wait no longer, I would encourage you to give Krishna a call …now!”

Krishna De

5 Reasons to consider registering for Get BrandID™

 

1.  The global economy is changing the way  we do  business forever and we are operating in a market of the best educated consumers of all time ...

 

We face fierce competition from low cost competitors in both international and domestic markets.  Consumers will always be able to find someone prepared to provide a product or service less expensively and perhaps with more features. 

 

With Get BrandID™ you will discover how to build a strong brand AND differentiate yourself so that you can avoid being considered as a commodity, competing on price alone.

2.  The big are getting bigger

Through Get BrandID™, you’ll learn how to unlock the secrets of how to capitalise on this on this opportunity.

 

3.  The power of your network is more relevant than ever

 

Even the most avid researcher will admit that it is impossible to know everything there is to know about their area of expertise. We need to develop extensive networks and support groups if we are to achieve the full potential of our businesses. 

 

In Get BrandID™, you will discover how to build, develop and nurture your professional network to support the growth of your business.

4.  The old ways of working do not always propel growth

Persistence is a wonderful quality but you also need to know when you have to change the way you are playing the game and implement a different game plan – a different strategy.

 

Whether you are a new business and want to fast track your success or perhaps you have been trying to build your business over the last few years but you are still not booked solid with clients you love to work with, or you know you could be improving your bottom line but don’t know how, then through Get BrandID™, we’ll show you how to make this happen.

5.  You need to up the ante on your personal effectiveness

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between yourself and the hundreds or even thousands of organisations providing similar solutions to you.

 

You are your most valuable resource.  How effectively are you leveraging yourself to reap the rewards you deserve? 

 

During the Get BrandID™ programme, you’ll develop a plan to improve your effectiveness and efficiency on a continuing basis and we’ll get you started in putting the plan into action.

Get BrandID™ is perfect for you if:

  • You are the owner of or a partner in a professional service business such as a lawyer, accountant, consultant, or coach - or another professional service whether you are in the for-profit or not-for-profit business sectors
  • You are committed to doing everything possible to help your clients succeed - for you, business isn't just about making money, it's about making a difference!
  • Your business is a passion - and not just an opportunity to make some money until something better comes along. You are committed to growing your business and building your expertise over the longer term
  • You are action-oriented and a self-starter - if you like to take your time before you take action, this group is not a wise investment for you. We'll be asking you to step outside your comfort zone every week to produce unexpected results.
  • You realise that even though you may guide your own clients in developing a vision, strategy and plan for their business, you don’t always apply the same discipline to your own business - you find yourself so busy working in your business you rarely get the chance to work on your own business.  There is always something else to do and you realise you would benefit from a mentor, coach and accountability partner to help you breath new life into your own business development plan and help you bring your strategy to life.
  • You are willing to experiment and be persistent with developing your business - you are resilient and prepared to constantly refine your plans so that you find the solution that is right for your clients in your market.

Please note, the programme is not applicable to those without business acumen or if your business is primarily online, a retail or manufacturing enterprise.

In this leading edge programme, together we’ll take the lid off your business and start branding it from the inside out.

 

Are you still unsure why you should invest in this unique

leading edge business development programme? 

 

Well put it this way, can you afford not to invest in your business?

Any successful business leader will tell you that to continue to grow your market share

and increase your profits, you need to innovate and refresh your business.

Think about it... if by attending the programme you only find even ONE new client,

you will have more than covered the cost of your investment.

  If you apply all that we’ve to show you, you’ll be attracting not one, but two,

then three and before you know it five, ten even twenty new clients.

Isn’t it time for you to STOP THINKING about business development and

START PLAYING big in the world.

From day one in Get BrandID™, we’ll be working on developing your business strategy and putting it into action, not just talking about it!

Are you ready to experience the
outrageous success you deserve?

Do you want to welcome in 2007 with a feeling of excitement and anticipation for your business as you have locked down sure-fire strategies and a robust plan for success that you’ve not experienced to date in your business?

"Here is the bottom line… what you focus on expands. If you focus on activities that don’t generate a significant financial or emotional return on investment, you don’t really have a business."

"This concept isn’t just about financial return.  Return on investment (ROI) can also be measured in the time you save by establishing systems in your business so you are spending more time on your business – and less in your business.

ROI can also be measured in credibility and prestige in your industry, which can lead to more opportunities.

Many leaders of professional services firms work 60-hour weeks, yet experiencing only limited results.  What SHOULD you be doing to BUILD your business to great income levels?" 

Krishna De

 

Well, give us just 4 hours a week – 90 minutes on the tele-seminar and two and a half hours to work on your assignments.  We are being honest with you – just turning up for the teleseminars will not be enough.

To leverage what you will discover on the Get BrandID™ Programme you will need to work ON your business for a few hours each week rather than IN it to unlock the success you have been looking for.

We want you to not only have greater expectations for yourself, your business, and most importantly for your income, but we want to help you realise them!

How is the programme delivered?

Get BrandID™ is led in a group tele-conference format using a telephone conference facility that you can access from anywhere in the world (we typically have participants from the U.S., Canada, and Europe).  

The next programme starts on Thursday September 28th, 2006 at 7pm in Ireland and UK (2pm ET, 11am PST).

The weekly tele-conferences will run for 6 consecutive Thursdays (working around holidays if necessary) and will last 90 minutes.

To keep telephone conference costs as reasonable as we can for participants, we use a US conference call facility.  Please contact us if you if you require assistance in sourcing low cost international calls if you are based outside the US.

Each class will incorporate a combination of presentation and dialogue designed to help you fully absorb the material and integrate it into your business activities.  This will also enable you to enhance your understanding and learn from the breadth of experience of other participants.

Classes will be recorded so you can listen to them again during the course of the programme. 

To support the development and implementation of your business strategy, you will receive assignments which you will be asked to complete.

In other words this will be a programme that is more than talking and sharing information, it will provide you with a framework of learning in action, delivering against promises you make to yourself so that you actually put in place the strategies and plans that will be the foundation of your future success.

Are you ready to sign up and benefit from the most inspiring, relevant and highly practical business development and branding programme?

One that you’ll be able to implement as we progress through the programme together from day 1

 

 

 

 

 

As our programme is all about branding we have decided to make our programme available through one of the world's strongest media and entertainment brands, the iPod Nano™.

Every participant who join us for GetBrandID™ programme will be entered into a draw to win a brand NEW iPod Nano, fully loaded with the full six weeks of the programme.
