Core Assessments

It might be difficult to come up with a description about yourself, without letting your own judgments get in the way. Ask your friends/piers to describe you. Ask them, what they believe your strengths are, what are some unique qualities you have, and how someone would best describe you in a few words. Be sure to ask these questions to someone who is loyal, and who will give you a 100% honest answer, even if you might not like the outcome. Sometimes, unexpected answers provide building blocks to create a better business model, and most importantly, a better you.

 

Set your Goal

Ask yourself how you want your potential clients to view your firm. Your brand is going to be the first inkling of what you have to offer a client. First, it’s important to discover what exactly you enjoy doing and what you’re passionate about. True authenticity is key when branding your firm. Secondly discover if there is an unmet need in your community/field—what makes you stand out from the rest? Ask yourself what sets you aside from the rest in the market, and why you’re the firm to work with.

Results won’t happen overnight, but with time, these suggestions will prove to be extremely helpful with branding your firm, and generating more revenue as well as clients.
