Personal Branding for Consultants and Salespeople
Professional consultants, salespeople and other creative knowledge workers need to plan and develop their own career.
They need to continually progress and grow.
They cannot rely fully on their employer to provide them with all they need.
Employers can no longer afford to be loyal to employees. There are no jobs for life.
Enterprises hire and train for current needs and when circumstances change role become redundant and people with them.
They tend only to invest in the training and development needed in order for their people to address what they need in the immediate future.
The average tenure in any job or contract is three to four years. We all need to be ready to position for - and compete for - our next contract or sales position.
To be ready - in addition to our skills and capabilities - we need a strong personal brand.
This means a strong, digitally based brand on top of your existing 'physical' brand
