🎯 Top Takeaway from Today's Episode
Messaging helps you whisper in the ears and speak to the hearts of the people who need you most.
📌 Key Points from the Episode
Allow your messaging to reflect your prospect’s language.
The stories you share help you stand apart, and attract the right people to you.
Speaking your prospect’s language is not a matter of leaving parts of you behind, but rather being intentional to create a space where the people who you're trying to reach and connect with can also feel comfortable to do so.

October 03, 2023Building Relationships with Buyers Through Thought Leadership with Tania Bhattacharyya - Ep. #39
🎯 Top Takeaway from Today's Episode
Our approach to social media and content creation should not be one-size-fits-all. You are unique and so is your audience. It's important to show up in a way that is authentic to who you are and the community you seek to create space for.
📌 Key Points from the Episode
Thoughts that we can keep in mind while we engage on LinkedIn and other platforms:
When we are on these platforms we are seeking to build community, not just promote. People want to connect with someone that they know, like and trust.
Engaging in social media does not have to be a huge all-consuming task. Setting aside time in your schedule to post a thoughtful post, respond to comments, comment on and like others' posts, send a message, etc. can go a long way!
It's all H2H. As Tania outlined in the episode, it's important for us to remember that while we are entrepreneurs, we are still humans who are engaging with other humans.
📊 Statistics You Need to Know
Only about 1% of LinkedIn's 260 million monthly users post weekly content. (source)
