A Guy Named "Money"

Voice Marketing with Emily Binder

The Importance of Personal Branding and Attention to Detail: In this episode, I will tell you about what I call a "discerning guy." Now, this term started out to describe drivers who take the dealership's ad off their bumper (watch part 1: the license plate / parking lot video). But now I use it for everyone regardless of gender and it's just a catch-all for being with-it.

I kick it off with a personal story about someone whose iPhone contact card said "Money" instead of his name. It's a lighthearted intro but the key is: DO sweat the small stuff when it comes to your personal brand. We're talking everything from contact cards to drivers who have a dealership's name on their bumper. When you leave that ad frame on your car you're giving free CPM to Mercedes Benz of Austin or Jim Ellis Audi. A $180k car now looks dorky. I share stories and practical tips on why details matter and how they can make or break the way people see you.
