SYS 041: How To Unlock Value Through Effective Communication - with Jim James

This week, Steve is joined by PR expert, Jim James, the founder of the EASTWEST Public Relations Group, as well as the host of the highly successful UnNoticed Podcast.   Jim joins the show to discuss how you can unlock the value in your business through effective communication, and how knowing your audience can help you to deliver far higher levels of value, and increase your success.   KEY TAKEAWAYS    Content is the backbone of creating engagement. We all create information, but the key to helping that to find its audience is to find a way to allow different audience to empathise and connect. Storification is not about providing a service. It is about recognising the problem that a client is trying to solve. A useful exercise is to record our "pitch", and examine the ways in which we present our offering Engaging content is about creating content that is new and interesting, but also recognising the right time at which to deliver that content so as to maximise its impact and reach. Businesses, while growing, always reach a point whereby our personal influence begins to bottleneck. To grow, we must build a brand and a funnel that is consistent. This can only be achieved by communicating consistently. When we create something that can positively benefit the world, it should be incumbent upon us to share this with the world, whether in business or life. This is why asking for endorsements should never be shied away from.   BEST MOMENTS    'I focus on content, consistency and channels' 'Personalisation is about taking the message we've got and making it relevant to individuals' 'Content is king, but context is queen' 'The reason that we need to have a brand that's consistent over time is because that's what builds trust' 'If you genuinely believe you add value to the world, it's your duty to share it'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/  Website: https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/welcome-1  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drsteveday    www.Aiwriter.com    Lumen5 Video maker: https://lumen5.com/  Desript All-in-one audio & video editing https://www.descript.com/  www.Grammarly.com www.Aiwriter.com    Lumen5 Video maker: https://lumen5.com/  Desript All-in-one audio & video editing https://www.descript.com/  www.Grammarly.com  ABOUT THE GUEST Jim James is the Champion of The UnNoticed!
