If everyone is saying the same thing to market their business, how do you— as an expert—stand out?

How can you say something different that catches the attention of your right-fit clients so they pay attention to you and hire you and not your competition?

Today we're doing something a little bit different. We’re diving into Marketing Message Makeovers so you can stop using overused marketing cliches that make you blend in. Instead, you can stand out by asking yourself two very simple questions.

Confession. I'm a bit of a control freak.

Control is something we are socialized to do. We are told that we are the masters of our destiny! the captains of our ship! and we can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!

And in reality - in a business - there are so many things that are out of our control, like whether:

• A prospective client says yes
• You land a podcast interview or a TEDx talk,
• People open our emails
• The algorithm shows people a social media post you spent an hour writing.

Even though so much is out of our control, we do control the moments when the ball is still in our proverbial courts:

>>What we say during sales conversation

>>The content of a pitch we send

>>The subject line for our emails

For the overlooked experts among us, what you and I control is the key to creating demand for your offers and expertise.

It's critical to become known by the right people so your work is valued and people want to hire you.

So what do we control? That’s what we’re talking about today.

You are the business owner who gets results for your clients.

You're masterful at what you do and yet so many times you are passed over and overlooked for someone with half the expertise and experience.

What is the deal with that?

I wish we lived in a world where the people who are best at what they do are the ones who are consistently known and hired instead of the charismatic few who did it for themselves and now they are shouting it from the rooftops that they can do it for you too!

>>>How do we overcome being overlooked?

>>>How do we go from seemingly invisible to in-demand?

That path is unconventional and we can't follow what the successful few do.

We need to go our own way.

On the podcast today, we’ll talk about how to carve out your unconventional path from overlooked expert to in-demand expert!

Do you feel like an overlooked expert? Have you ever thought, “I am great at what I do! So, why don't more people know about me?”

I'll be honest. I have asked myself this question and I've become a little obsessed with figuring out the answer to it.

In my business, I am so lucky that I get to work with amazing, talented people who are experts in their field. Years of experience, finely honed skills, and the work they do with their clients is incredible. It gets results.

They are the type of people who are so damn easy to refer to because their work is so good, and they're the kind of people that I want to make sure more people know.

But that brings me back to the question “If they are so good, so talented, so skilled, and get their clients results, why aren't they more widely known?”

And I believe I found part of this answer, and I'm calling this the overlooked expert phenomenon.

Let's talk about it and the three reasons why it exists.

Can we talk about how batshit bananas the current economic climate is?

• Online business is undergoing a major correction right now.
• Sales cycles take longer.
• Trust is at an all time low.

And all of those business owners who were touting their “Big Teams!” and “7 Figure Success!” are now talking about descaling and degrowth.

The bottom line is people aren't buying like they used to. I felt it, and I'm sure you have too.

But now that our economy has a big case of the weirds, how do you adjust your marketing and your message to stay relevant to your clients during this strange time?

That's what we're talking about today on the pod.

“I don't know if I'm expert enough.”

“Oh, really?”

As soon as I hear this phrase, I always ask, “So tell me about your experience.” And then I am regaled by a list of certifications, education, experience on the job, transferable skills, developing their own frameworks and working with clients and getting results.

Yes, you're definitely expert enough, but I understand why people feel like they aren’t.

Why you doubt your expertise and think that you're not expert enough. And some people think they're not expert enough to even listen to this podcast.

Well, it may be a good old-fashioned imposter complex getting in the way. It might also be a fundamental misunderstanding about expertise.

So let's unpack that and talk about how to know if you're expert enough. And spoiler alert, if you're thinking that you're more than expert enough.

Have you ever thought that one of the reasons that you're hesitant to market and put your expertise out there is because of the way we're taught to market in the online space.

What works for the masses doesn't work for you.

On this podcast, we're diving into 3 big messaging tropes that you commonly hear in online business that don't work for expert-based businesses like yours and what you should do instead.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if people recognized your expertise and hired you on the spot?

Unfortunately, good work doesn’t speak for itself, and getting great results for your clients is not enough.

Rebel Truth: Good work is never enough.

You’ve got to advocate for your work. You’ve got to speak up and be seen for that good work.

You’ve got to showcase why you’re the expert who can get the job done.

Your right-fit client is out there right now looking for you, and if you’re not marketing, they will hire someone else.

Marketing is a necessity. It’s the only way your clients know your business exists.

And marketing sucks...so how can you do it in a way that takes less time and gets you better results?
