Your prospects and customers prefer to do business with people they feel they can trust and that can bring value to their business.\u00a0But, how do you gain the credibility to be known as the expert?<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

There are several different ways to build \u201cCred\u201d, but here are a few ideas:<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

One – Testimonials.\u00a0It\u2019s one thing for you to tell a prospective client that you know what you\u2019re talking about; it\u2019s another thing to have someone else tell them.\u00a0If you have testimonials, use them!\u00a0You should do what you ask clients and prospects to do every day, and that is to market yourself.\u00a0Put a portfolio together that talks about you, who you have worked with, what you have done, what you do to get better, and include testimonials. Then hand them out as a resume.\u00a0After all, you are applying for a job to handle their advertising!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Two – Start writing and get published.\u00a0There are hundreds of magazines, blogs, E-zines that are starving for good material. Contact them and offer to write articles.\u00a0\u00a0Or, you could write your very own weekly or monthly newsletter\/blog and send it to your customers and prospects.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t have to be long, just good!\u00a0Write it and they will read it!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Lastly, and this one might scare the \u201cGlossophobia\u201d out of you (Fear of Public Speaking), but it\u2019s very powerful and will establish your credentials as an expert.\u00a0It\u2019s public speaking!!!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The most important thing to remember about public speaking\u2026 it\u2019s easier when you are speaking on something you are passionate about.\u00a0What part of what you do are you the most passionate about? Speak to that and it\u2019ll be much easier.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Becoming known as an \u201cexpert\u201d takes extra effort, hard work, and moving outside of your comfort zone.\u00a0If this weren\u2019t true, everyone would be an \u201cexpert\u201d.<\/h4>\n
