Aligning your Systems with your Brand with Brandon Dempsey

Aligning your Systems with your Brand with Brandon Dempsey

This week we are joined by Brandon Dempsey, Author of Shut Up and Go, and Co-founder of St. Louis marketing company, goBRANDgo!, whose mission is to Empowergize People and Organizations with the innovation, imagination, and inspiration to see higher and be better.

Systemization around branding and operations is a big missing link in many organizations. The disconnect occurs when Marketing sets an expectation and there are no standard operating procedures systematized throughout the journey aligning the experience with the expectation.

Are you a Brand Generalist or a Specialist? “Generalists get talked to, and specialists get paid”. Systemization of the brand will create cohesion and connects customers with what the company “Specializes” in. Customers are willing to pay to solve their problems.

The Systems Attribute within the 7 Attributes of Agile Growth® IP framework is a key differentiator for Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches. Many mid-market companies, and coaching organizations don’t focus on Systems, and Systems are the key to scaling efficiently and profitably.

The Vital Nature of Having a Compelling, Simple Message with David Mann

The Vital Nature of Having a Compelling, Simple Message with David Mann

This week we are joined by David Mann, keynote speaker, trainer, professional actor/director/storyteller and founder of the Simple Message. Through his tenure in theater, David learned the art of connecting with an audience. He is on the adjunct faculty of Loyola School of Law in Chicago and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.

David offers insight into the costly mistake of generic and/or overly technical messaging. As a storyteller, he recommends exploring what differentiates them, and use uthentic, simple language to engage customers. The customer should be the main character of their story, and you should be there to guide them in their journey, and aid in their success. Discover what familiar simple language you can use to help them in their initial journey, rather than use messaging which generally focuses only at the end of their “buyers journey”.

David’s core purpose, his heart and soul, has always been with language expression. He encourages CEO’S to not be afraid of the ups and downs in their career and personal life. Life is not always about growth. Sometimes retreat has to happen to grow bigger with the next wave. 

David believes a prospective customer should know “What you do” and “Why you do it” at every stage. Think your messaging accomplishes this? Take the free assessment to find out.
