We live in a noisy world where we have more choice and with that, more competition than ever before. That applies whether you’re an employee and want to be not only considered but chosen for the promotion, managing the high stakes clients or the big budgets or you’re an entrepreneur who’s pitching for work.
The question is - how do people make the decision who to engage for a project, who to hire or to trust with this main client/ major project?
They go to the person they see as the trusted authority, the one who has established a relationship with the decision maker (and that includes a non-direct one – meaning without necessarily knowing the person properly which can happen through building a strong social media presence for example as well as referrals but also who’s proven their expertise on their topic which is demonstrated through content they shared or contributions made by speaking at conferences, podcast guesting & co.
