And in the case of personal branding, it influences how you want others to feel about you. From your photos to other brand images, elements and even content, there is a lot that goes into creating your unique brand. Displayed correctly and consistently (across all marketing platforms), a well-defined brand can elevate agent recognition and help to establish credibility and authority. However, when executed incorrectly, the effects are lackluster at best, and harmful at worst. To help you avoid the pitfalls of personal branding, we've compiled a list of what we feel are the 7 deadliest sins.
NO DIFFERENTIATION
Branding is not about being known for your profession. It's about being known for being different in your profession. If all agents were the same, how would your customers know who to choose?
