Managing Your<br />
Personal<br />
We were fortunate to have three of our YPN all-stars join us to provide tips for<br />
managing your personal brand, on and off-line, at our March YPN Breakfast. Their<br />
tips were too good not to share with you.<br />

uTake advantage of online ads – It’s<br />
the best way to grow your online<br />
presence.<br />
uBe consistent – Use the<br />
same photos and bio points<br />
in your profiles.<br />
uUse video for listings<br />
and to deliver market<br />
updates to position<br />
yourself as an expert.<br />
ERIN MANDEL<br />

uAdvertise in a medium that best<br />
speaks to your target audience.<br />
uEngage your sphere of influence<br />
with client success stories.<br />
uSocial media is a popular<br />
platform. Be sure to appear<br />
honest and professional.<br />
Your clients, peers and<br />
potential new business<br />
are dialed into the<br />
same network.<br />
uDon’t just say you love<br />
your job – use social<br />
media to show it.<br />
uDress how you want to<br />
be perceived and how you<br />
want the industry portrayed.<br />
uCheck in with clients who<br />
haven’t submitted reviews yet.<br />
uOnly delegate if the transaction<br />
doesn’t hinge on you being<br />
involved in that task.<br />
uDress to impress!<br />
Remember the first<br />
impressions are important;<br />
however, comfort is key.<br />
uThis business is hard<br />
work. Learn good systems,<br />
practice with passion and<br />
learn something new every day.<br />
uSurround yourself with<br />
positive, energetic people.<br />
Your immediate sphere of<br />
influence will elevate you<br />
to the next level.<br />
