8. Positioning
What sets me a part from my
competition is my ability to
look at problems from my
clients/employers perspective.
Most people will look at issues
from their own perspective. I
also know how to effectively
blend today’s cutting edge
marketing technology with a
personal humanistic touch.
Bringing the best of both
worlds together. My
competitor’s tend to lean on
technology and lack the human
element or vice versa. I have
over 20 years of experience
working in an environment
that taught problem solving
and continuous improvement.
While most of my competitor’s
are still trying to figure things
out.

business professional to mentor me
either through networking or from

working for. I will dedicate at least 20
hours a week to learning new skills
