"Personally Branded" - Sales & Marketing Executives Madison Monthly Event |
| 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. |
Johnny Delmonico's - 130 S. Pickney St |
Everyone needs to promote themselves in their professional life and socially. The problem is that most people do not know how. Do you want a promotion? Do you have to position yourself as an expert? Do you work for an employer but are responsible for bringing in clients? Do you work for a large company where it is hard to be recognized?
Personal branding has been around since the 1990s. In the beginning it was used primarily for entrepreneurs and high-level executives to gain business. Today virtually everyone could benefit from knowing how to use personal branding.
You might as well know this up front. You already have a brand whether you are aware of it or not. Wouldn’t it be better to take control of your brand than to find yourself accidentally branded.
The best part about being Personally Branded is that you have the potential to stand out and prosper in the world. If your mission is to be your best self and do your best work, you can make an amazing impact.
Our speaker, Sheri Fermanich from Street Smart Publishing, started her speaking career when she was elected State DECA President as a junior in high school.
Today she is a double entrepreneur, operating a real estate brokerage as well as an e-commerce coaching business where she speaks, creates new products and is a published author.
