How to Position Yourself As An Expert

blog20140703titleB

Maybe you don’t yet feel like an authority… But you’ve heard that you need to figure out how to position yourself as an expert if you want to become more attractive to your potential clients.

Many people think that they have to wait until they have the level of expertise of their mentors to start positioning themselves as an expert. Or maybe you think you need to wait until you’ve written a book or worked with thousands of people.

If you take this route, you’ll be waiting a very long time. And you’ll be missing out on so many opportunities to serve people who really need your help.

We’ve seen many of our $10,000 Month Club Members take off in their business big time by changing one thing when they meet new people.

When they used just one of the tips in the video below on how to position yourself as an expert, people started responding to them differently. They got more respect, more clients and more referrals.

Watch the video now and then answer the questions below.

Now that you’ve watched the video, here is a short set of questions to ask yourself:

1. Which client success stories can you share that will have people see you as an
expert
who gets results?

2. If you’re new to the work you’re doing, what can you bring in from your past
that can give you a high level of positioning?

3. What can you be the “Creator of?” (Even if you don’t have ways to position
yourself as an expert using the first two tips, there IS something YOU can
be the “creator of.”)

Once you’ve figured out your best angle for positioning yourself, here’s an extra tip:
Make sure you always include humanity when you share your expertise (or you may seem arrogant). More about this in another post…

Tell us what you think in the comments below…

PS. Another bonus tip: Being an author of a book is huge for your positioning. And most people think it has to take a long time. But my friend and colleague, John Eggen, wants to share how you can write your book in as little as 90 days.

If you choose to position yourself as being the “Creator of” something and writing a book is in your future, I invite you to join me on an upcoming interview with John on how to "Write a Transformational, Client-Attracting Book Fast that Makes Up to $150,000 Before It's Published.”

On this live telephone interview, John will share strategies to get your book out there in a big way that were used by world-renowned business gurus he has worked with, including Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen, Robert G Allen, Ken Blanchard and Bob Proctor and the late Dr. Stephen Covey.
