Resonance – The Invisible Hand of MarketingSoulful Brand
As entrepreneurs & business leaders promoting our business, how can we stand out in our market, while also staying true to who we are? Is there a way to experience authenticity within ourselves and with our audience, while facing the pressures of building a business and hitting our goals? In this talk, Ryan Rigoli, co-founder of Soulful Brand, explores how building trust is not just about what you say, but who you become when marketing and selling your business.
Overall, he explores the question, 'what does it really take to create conversations with deeper meaning and impact, as an entrepreneur / founder of your business.' You'll see a case study showcasing an entrepreneur's successful path from in-authenticity to authenticity and how that increased engagement with her organization's key stakeholders. Additionally, you'll see how she was able to identify when she didn't quite feel like herself when talking about her business, as well as a way to return to authenticity.

Does all of the content you publish, from online informational articles to print promotional materials, speak to your audience with the same voice?
If you fail to define and manage your brand voice, there won't be any consistency in your content. This means that you won't present a distinct voice to your audience and there's a good chance your branding efforts will fail completely.
"Brand Voice" means the tone and language you use to communicate with your audience. When brand voice is consistent across all communications, it creates a kind of personality for your organization. As a result, your audience knows what to expect and learns to trust you. It is an essential feature of branding which allows you to successfully position yourself in the market.
As the social and digital media landscape gets increasingly competitive, it’s important to brand yourself by clearly conveying your businesses focus, credibility and unique contributions. You must constantly be creative with how are you going to set your self a part from the rest. This topic will identify ways to identify your brand personality as well as develop a plan of action to build and master your brand.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

1-day Business Bootcamp
Your brand has a specific archetype that influences your message both internally and externally. It also influences how your brand gains and interacts with customers. In the webinar, we focus on the following:
What is a brand voice?
What are you saying and how are you saying it?
How your brand archetype can grow your business
Is it interacting with the right customers?
Finding your brand voice is difficult.
Without it, you don’t have a clear direction for the company. It’s not clear who you are as a brand or what you represent. It’s like walking blind folded.
The same can really be said for your customers. If you don’t have a clear brand voice, your customer might as well have a blind fold on when they walk into your store or your place of business, or your website for that matter. If it’s not clear what you do or what your represent, then they’re going to leave confused and without giving you their business.
The brand is how you differentiate yourself. It’s how your stand out and truly add value to your customers in their eyes.
Michael, you always say – coming up with a great brand voice or a great brand identity figuring how your brand would walk and how it would talk. Will you expand on that?
A brand voice encompasses a lot of things. It’s often not what you say but how you say it.
It included all these channels, and many more. Your podcasts, webinars, and your in person sales pitch, for example. Does every employee know talking points to pitch your company in the correct way if the opportunity presents itself?
A lot of people like to say that marketing needs to come before sales pitches, some say sales before marketing. But the truth is that they need to complement each other and be developed at the same time.
You cannot have sales with marketing and vice versa. You just can’t. If you think going out to a networking event is about sales, it’s not. It’s your marketing. It’s every word you say. Sales is how you say it and how persuasive you can be. If you want to be effective, they both need to be on point.
We do this all the time. I do a lot of content for a lot of different business and over time their brand voice really stands out to their customers and target audience. Which is hugely important. But content is only half of it. Your content needs great presentation. Design is a big deal.
Michael you can attest to this. I mean someone could have all the right wording and information for a client or a bid submission or some point of sale, but if they don’t have a great image to match it then they’re competing based on price. And if another company’s voice outshines yours, then you’re not going to close.
A lot of businesses struggle with this.
They are in essence, the WHAT and the HOW.
So who is your customer?
The best way to determine your marketing channels is to figure our who your customers are.
Marketers often create custom “personas” of their ideal customers in order to better tailor their messaging to these individuals. This process should be your first step when thinking about your brand voice.
As a starting point, consider the following questions:
Is your ideal reader/customer male or female?
How educated are they?
What is their rough income bracket? How much discretionary income do they have?
Do they have children?
And the WHAT types of news/media do they consume? – and WHERE online they are going to find these. That’s where you need to be.
We all know these channels. We’ve talked about these before in previous webinars. They apply to your brand voice and messaging a great deal.
We break down our channels by purchase intent – which are usually the same for every business.
We have all of these channels where our customers are. Our sales funnels for each of these three intent columns dictate our sales pipeline first of all, but they also greatly affect how we message to those people. Customers who hangout on yelp or on our webinars are going to interact to our messaging and information very differently than our customers that read our newsletter and definitely differently than our followers on our social media channels.
Crafting messages tailored to them is not easy. And almost IMPOSSIBLE if you don’t’ have a clear brand voice.
Why is tone of voice important?
It’s an expression of the people behind the brand
The above quote points out that it’s not just what a company does, but who it is that makes it a brand. A tone of voice both embodies and expresses the brand’s personality and set of values. It’s about the people that make up the brand – the things that drive them, their loves and hates, and what they want to share with the world.
It sets you apart from the rest
A brand’s tone of voice should be distinctive, recognizable and unique. This may seem like a tall order until we consider the use of our own language in everyday life. We all employ language - both written and spoken
It builds trust
There really is a strong link between familiarity and trust. Because something familiar requires little effort to process mentally, we are more likely to feel at ease around it. Thinking along these lines, a company must be consistent in its use of language so that its writing becomes familiar to the customer. Creating a specific tone of voice, then, plays a crucial part in this.
Here’s an example of consistency. I’m going to show our twitter page as an example. Our messaging is all about inspiring business owners and entrepreneurs and giving them free tools, resources and information to help them build a better business
– whether it’s operations, marketing or their team, we have the knowledge to help you grow.
This is just one channel, though. Remember when we said we have to tailor our content across many channels?
Here’s an example of our brand voice across many channels. Our twitter, facebook, our blog, our email, our website. The voice is that same – as well as the design. But the content is different. It’s tailored to the people who use those channels the most and how they like to receive information.
THIS IS HOW WE INTERACT WITH OUT CUSTOMERS.
It can be used to influence and persuade
As American author Maya Angelou once said, "People don’t always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you made them feel.”
It’s often the way we say something that breeds a certain feeling. People can be very sensitive to language, forming impressions of people as soon as they begin to hear or read their words.
A simple request can be articulated in different ways:
Carefully chosen words can be used to persuade or influence an audience. For example, politicians tend to speak using short, simple sentences as a way of projecting the idea of honesty and self-evident universal truths. Meanwhile, financial service companies are sometimes accused of deliberately using jargon-heavy language as a way of implying a sense of superiority.
By and large, a successful tone of voice should go without notice. The aim is not for your audience to remark on your great writing but, instead, to remark on your great business.
These are very much INTERNAL to your brand and greatly affect how you INTERACT with your customers!
Who are you as a business?
To answer these questions, we define our brand archetype.
So what is a brand archetype?
A symbol, theme, setting, or character type that recurs in different times and places in myth, literature, and rituals so frequently as to suggest that it embodies essential elements of ‘universal’ human experience.
So what does that mean? And how does it apply to your brand?
Let’s use a simpler definition…
Archetypes are stories, which can define your organization’s values, beliefs, strengths, and more.
What do they DO for your brand? Well
Make communication more effective (internally and externally)
Allow strategies to come more naturally
Make growth transitions easier
Once your figure out who are and what your brand represents to your customers, all these things become so much easier! This is usually a long process that requires hours of discussion and brainstorming with your team.
These are very much INTERNAL to your brand and also greatly affect how you INTERACT with your customers!
Here’s an example. Michael expand on these.
Market your company as if you were marketing a person.
Everything an individual can do a company can do also. Thinking from this perspective could open up a variety of new options for a brand voice.
Companies have a reputation for being generic rather than unique. Therefore, those companies who market with the perspective of an individual can gain a big advantage. And to do that requires a lot of work to truly begin INTERACTING with the right customers in the right way.
