Description

*** COURSE UPDATED APRIL 2020 *** Please watch the Free Preview Video "2020 Course Update" for details on what this update covered ***


ARE YOU AN INDEPENDENT COACH OR CONSULTANT WHO WANTS TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD?

You need to Learn how to Brand Yourself


If you don’t want to fight to stand out among a sea of other service professionals in your category, you need a unique and compelling brand to set you and your business apart.


I spent 30+ years branding businesses of all shapes and sizes, including:

  • Large Corporations


  • Small Businesses


  • Start-up’s


  • Non-profit organizations


  • Independent service professionals (coaches, consultants, and other experts)



I developed a step-by-step proprietary branding process that I used with my private consulting clients for years.

In this course I share that exact process with you so you’ll know how to brand yourself.


I want you to think about something for a moment…


  • What if you had a name that clearly communicated exactly what you do for people?


  • A name no one else was using?


  • A name that was interesting, intriguing, and really stood for something?


  • A name that truly represented who you are and what you stand for?


  • A name that you love and are excited to put on your business?


  • Can you imagine what that might do for your business?


It’s time to step out of the generic marketing trap.


When you learn how to brand yourself, that’s exactly what happens. 



Learn the concepts and apply them to your business with:

  • Video lessons that explain every step of the process.


  • Handouts and worksheets to help you apply the process to your business


  • Real-world examples of brands created by other service pro’s just like you to inspire you and get you excited about creating your brand


  • Free and low-cost resources so you can research, create, implement, and protect your brand without breaking the bank

You can learn how to Brand Yourself


If you’re tired of having to work so hard to stand out, get attention, and get clients, this course is for you.


If you see other coaches or consultants out there with great brand names and you’ve always wished you had one too, now is your chance.


If you’ve ever been confused by exactly what branding is, or how to brand yourself effectively, this course will answer all of your questions and walk you, step-by-step, through the process of creating your very own, unique and compelling brand.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note if you've already taken my course, How to Market Yourself as a Coach or Consultant, this course covers the same Branding process, however, it goes into more detail and includes additional exercises. Please be aware there is overlap between the two courses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who this course is for:

  • Independent Coaches, Consultants, and other Experts who make a living selling their expertise or serving clients with their expertise

I learned a LOT! I really did think that a website and it's logo and colors are what makes a brand. But through this course I learned otherwise and am very happy I came across this and finished the course! I definitely will be looking more into branding and making sure it isn't just a 'gift-wrapped' brand/brand name.
