Digg it UP - Positioning Yourself for Success through Introductions
“If your growth rate in revenues consistently outpaces your growth rate in people, you simply will not – indeed cannot - build a great company.” Jim CollinsIncreased globalization and competition combined with an aging workforce have intensified the need for talented and engaged workers. Workforce reductions have slowed down the major battles for talent, but have increased the need for the talent to remain at a high level of performance. Many companies are trying to handle this dilemma by aggressively recruiting from the outside, hoping to land some bright stars who might take them boldly into the future. What is needed is a method

Don’t leave it to chance when you bring a guest. There is no better opportunity for a guest to shine than when you strategically formulate an introduction showcasing her talents. For example, I invited my friend Stacy B. as a guest to a business club in
All firms need to build a strong brand in order to effectively compete. A strong brand distinguishes one firm from another and allows individual messages that express the strength of the company, product and service offerings. A strong brand shows how your offering is different and should clearly express features and benefits that appeal to the marketplace. Those firms that make a clear statement about the strengths of their respective brands generally enjoy greater success in the marketplace.A strong brand will achieve a number of results. The brand will identify the products or services offered and will define the quality of these o
Introducing yourself
Every professional belongs to a networking group where they stand and introduce themselves. Instead of using the same “speech” every meeting, create several 30-second introductions, also known as the “elevator speech” tailored to the group. For example, if you sell insurance and you are introducing yourself at the “Classic Car Club”, then your introduction should mention that you insure classic cars. If you are a banker and you are in front of small business owners, mention the SBA loans you have available. In other words, find out something specific about the group and how you can serve them, and make that evident in your introduction.
A common mistake is stage hogging. It’s ok to make a statement about an upcoming event but it shouldn’t take up more than a few extra seconds. If you have several announcements, spare the details and bring along brochures or flyers. Let the group know that they can get more information after the meeting. Or, ask the emcee to make the announcements before introductions begin.

The recruiting industry has changed dramatically since the mid-90’s when the Internet began to catch fire as a networking tool. Prior to the advent of online job boards such as CareerBuilder and Monster, your local newspaper had a monopoly on “help-wanted” advertising going back pre-Industrial Revolution (I remember a few years back being quoted $450 to run a 3-line ad over the weekend--for $50 more I could add a black border around it). Resumes came to you via mail or fax and the ones that got your attention arrived on expensive paper with signed cover letters--the presentation gave you as much insight into the candidate as the resume itsel

Introducing your guest
Don’t leave it to chance when you bring a guest. There is no better opportunity for a guest to shine than when you strategically formulate an introduction showcasing her talents. For example, I invited my friend Stacy B. as a guest to a business club in which I belong. The members in this organization are business owners and decision makers who can use Stacy’s product, or are in a position to refer Stacy to other businesses.
Rather than randomly introducing Stacy and reciting the name of her company, I specifically mentioned that last May Stacy lost her home in the tornado that destroyed her community and from that experience she created two businesses to protect business owners and home owners. his statement gained the immediate attention of the group and gave them an anchor to remember her by.
Then I strategically mentioned the name of her business and explained that she “databases” the contents of your home or business so that you are protected before the theft, fire or storm.
Then to add some validation, I mentioned that Stacy’s business had been recently highlighted on the local news channel and in a regional magazine, which added to Stacy’s credibility. Mentioning this magazine that is read by most everyone in the audience will have people noticing and remembering her information well after the meeting, or perhaps looking up the information later.
Add to the fact that it was the month of April (tornado season) and the fact that many of the professionals in the audience were insurance professionals, CPA’s and other business owners, Stacy had several business cards handed out to her with a request for a follow up.
