¿Cuáles son las estrategias clave para construir una marca fuerte como consultor?

Define our niche/customer or people who we seek to serve is one of the most important steps in Marketing and Communications. When we create a product or service, we should ask ourselves, who is it for? Whom will we seek to change or serve? After a few minutes, we will realize that we cannot change or serve everyone and we need to define a group of someone. A group of truly fans, chosen based on what they believe; on what they look like or maybe on what they desire. On the other hand, defining your niche will help you to improve the stories that will resonate with your customer; will help you to create your brand identity; will help you to improve your funnel and will help you to create a network effect.

The goal of a visual identity is to make an emotional connection between the brand and consumer. It convnces consumers to trust a brand so they are more likely to remember the brand and refer it to their network.

Use social media platforms to showcase your expertise as a marketer that offers the opportunity to connect directly with your audience, allowing for real-time communication and feedback. Go beyond mere postings like hosting live sessions, Q&As or webinars. Your activities on social media can also include solving problems, or sharing exclusive tips, reflecting your proficiency in the field. Presenting at Conferences or Industry Events. Public speaking at marquee industry events or conferences is an excellent way to demonstrate your expertise. This allows you to share your insights and ideas with a larger audience. By presenting innovative approaches or sharing successful case studies, you gain visibility and reputation in your industry.

You really need to build an audience of people who are your ideal customers. Then you want to establish if they are already in flow. Are they looking for help, are they spending already, and are they easily reachable? Knowing this will help you build an audience of people interested in your services and position you as the expert in your space.
