Marketing and Branding for Referral Generation

Written by on · 3 Comments

 

Tim Davis OnlineThis week, I had one of my good friends that I have yet to meet face to face Mr. Tim Davis. He is a sales and marketing trainer, a certified John Maxwell speaker and a successful business coach. An avid golfer, which sadly I am not.

He is a the author of several books and has a new children’s book coming out soon. “Dude, Seriously” is one of my favorites and I urge any sales professional who seems to be struggling to pick up a copy today. You can find where to order that over on his site at TimDavisOnline.com. You can also follow Tim on Twitter at @timdavisonline

Tim gives out a couple really great money making, referral generating and good to know tips on this podcast. If you have any questions please email me or leave them down below and I am sure that Tim and I know I will answer any question we can.

to Want to use you…

Your blog in this day, where everyone is online, is an extension of you. It is your personal brand, whether it be Dave Woodson, Social Media Consultant or Dave Woodson, The Mad Mortgage Machine. It can be a blog about Diabetes, or a Pro-biotic, or even an affiliate site about Data Encryption. The information that you give reflects back on you. So, if you presenting yourself as the local expert, you darn well better know the area that you are talking about.

So, often I read blogs from around the country looking for a good idea, to learn more about real estate or mortgages, and I see how many are doing it wrong. You do little to make yourself the expert, or even less to drive traffic to your site or sites. I can only imagine that the old adage applies, “even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while”.

So, my challenge to you for the rest of 2010 and beyond in your career. Is when you write a blog or when you express yourself on any Socail Media platform…
