Building Your Online Brand Equity

The internet captures and categorises everything, no matter how trivial or embarrassing. If it was ever online it is still online. Our online branding package provided exclusively for candidates includes a survey of your existing online brand equity to make sure there is nothing out there that could be potentially damaging to your business and professional reputation. We then construct a highly professional brand presence to raise your visibility including establishing a killer LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn has become a preferred method of hiring managers and recruiters alike to source candidates. We will help you create a unique personal blog that will highlight your background, showcase articles you may have written, display your original thoughts or ideas on your industry or function and promote any other products or services you would like to include. We will even set up a Twitter account for you so you can start to follow interesting people and Tweet on interesting subjects. Finally, we will provide one hour of phone support to show you how to keep your online profile updated as well as how to interact with these online communities and become known to potential employers, joint venture partners and prospective clients. Leverage the power of the internet to create, enhance and protect your online brand equity.

Effective Networking For Executives

Develop effective networking skills and get plugged in using your network to source jobs, find new business opportunities and source prospective clients. Networking is an incredibly effective way to source new employment positions, develop business opportunities, form joint ventures or find new clients. But it takes effort. It takes a system to organise all of your contacts and you probably have many more than you think you do, and regular contact to keep them fresh and up to date. The best networkers have job and business opportunities seemingly drop in their lap when the least expect them. When you are actively looking you can easily call on your contacts to have them help you source a new opportunity, but only if you have a robust networking plan. Our unique Effective Networking Package is exclusively offered by Kim Seeling-Smtih, and will help you set up your networking database and systematise your contact frequency using the elegantly simple Hierarchy of Relationships developed by US-based Steven Linder, Executive Coach and Top Trainer. Additionally, if you are actively looking we can provide ongoing Career Coaching to keep you on track with your networking activities, ensuring that you utilise your contacts as effectively as possible.
