I define Brand as an expression of Trust.
Your attendees know that people do business with people they know, like and trust.
But how do you show them how to get to trust?
There is a shortcut. This motivational speaker can show your staff or members the way including the discovery of their WHY, their personal operating system.

Trust, the Shortcut to Brand
No matter where your attendees are in the ongoing saga of their businesses the single most important reason for long-term success is Brand
The way I see it: Brand is an expression of Trust.
My job, speaking or consulting is to provide the business building knowledge clients and audiences need to get to trust, how to network to new customers...and build a memorable brand. Click the photo for a one minute interview about Brand.
This is a tailored, interactive presentation delivered for you as a keynote, breakout or workshop.
30-Second Marketing*
Every sale begins with a conversation.
Every sale.
But when you have to start from never having met the person whether you are networking or in a non-sales setting you are going to have to say and do the right thing just to continue the conversation . You have just 3 seconds to become memorable.
This way you will know instantly whether or not they are interested.
Thirty Second Marketing trains you to talk with them not at them. You will learn how to "read" the person and become an astute judge of their interest. Based on the latest behavioral psychology findings
Interactive. Available as Keynote, Breakout or Workshop for Associations and Corporations.
One of the reasons Jerry is often said to be a motivational speaker.

The WHY of Personal Brand
The Networking Ninja searched long and hard to find a way to quickly and effectively establish a trustworthy brand for himself and his clients. He is no stranger to assessments having been an alpha tester of one of the first during his tenure as a manager in a Denver Ad agency. Then he found the WHYos. This video gives you the background.
Without the power of a Personal Brand you can't be memorable or profitable. That is true whether you are an entrepreneur, a manager or a specialist on a team. Brand You, based on your WHYos gives you the right words to state your Passion, your Core Purpose and your Way of Doing Things. Brand You draws people to you. You become magnetic.
Attendees get the insight to connect more deeply with all the people that matter to them.
Audiences members (a few or all) can take the WHYos Discovery during the presentation. Suddenly the inner voice has a new clarity. Relationships strengthen. Every team becomes more productive. Listen to the words that open this life-changing session.
Jerry has been certified to deliver the WHY discovery, the first step to personal growth, team leadership and added revenue teamwork.

The Brand Brain Trust
This site called for a new entry to be posted weekly. It was one of those "best laid plans" that just didn't work out because Mom's health demanded my time. She has passed now but I'm still struggling with the aftermath of her estate. I still believe there is a place for a site like this if I can figure out how to add new brand stories regularly.
