Your professional relationships directly influence your career success!

When I was still working in my corporate career as a sales executive, one of my biggest clients had just changed leadership, and subsequently told the team to take the business with us elsewhere due to our pricing being 'too high'.

Instead of complying with Leadership's request, the Account Executive contacted me to see what we could do, as they wanted to continue working with us.

Recognising our outstanding professionalism, responsiveness, and trusted advisor role, a relationship cultivated over many, many years, we jointly created a strong business case, for the client to retain the business with us, which was ultimately approved...

This is a great example of how nurturing relationships can help you in your professional career, to be successful and move forward. Think: Relational (authentic) vs. Transactional relationships.

I firmly believe that any professional who wants both opportunities and people to gravitate towards them, rather than having to chase after them, would benefit from investing time and energy into creating or refining their own brand, and a component of this includes cultivating and nurturing authentic relationships.

Why? To enable you to stand out, be more visible and more easily advance your career!

Let me ask you: What are you doing to refine your in-person Personal Brand?
