—Rieva Lesonsky, Editorial Director, Entrepreneur magazine "It doesn′t matter what you sell. We′re all selling service.

—Patrick Sweeney, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Succeed on Your Own Terms; cohost of the nationally syndicated radio show Winning in Business "Deming delivers an essential message to businesses and delivers in a way you won′t forget. You know the fairy tales, just adapt it to your unique brand: you!"

—Wayne Kandas, CFP and host of nationally syndicated Bloomberg Radio "Stories sell, and that′s what helps sell the ideas in this brilliant book. If you′re in business–any business–you need this book. Get it now!"

—Robert G. Allen, bestselling coauthor of Cracking the Millionaire Code ; CEO of The Enlightened Millionaire Institute Chapter 8: Just Call Me Slick! People Really Hate to be "Sold" What We’ve Accomplished So Far By now you know that branding is not exclusively about business identity in the form of a logo or advertising. You might recognize the Nike brand from its iconic swoosh logo. You might immediately think of McDonald’s when you think of fast food because McDonald’s commercials are ubiquitous, but by this point, you know that icons and awareness do not constitute a brand. You also know that big businesses are not the only brands. Your business does not have to be the size of GM, Microsoft, AOL Time Warner or Wal–Mart. Your business could be run out of your home with you as the sole employee. You could conduct business from a small office with a single assistant, or in a store with several employees. The size, scope, and location of your business does not change the fact that it’s a brand, nor should any of these factors truly impact your brand if you’re focusing on one–on–one relationships. Businesses are not the only brands, either. Every individual is a brand, as are organizations from non–profits to political parties to social clubs. For example, the Gates Foundation, the Red Cross, UNICEF, Make–A–Wish Foundation, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Kiwanis Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Republican Party, and Democratic Party — all are brands. The concept of branding I’ve been articulating is personal, which means everyone needs to develop one. Each category — from individuals to organizations to businesses large and small — brings with it its own brand development challenges. At the same time, however, these challenges are minimized when you understand your brand identity. Throughout this book, I have written about creating unique and memorable experiences for your customers. Chapter 2 defined a brand in terms of establishing relationships with your customers. Chapter 3 distinguished between types of experiences you can generate for your customers, and differentiated a brand experience from ones that are merely transactional or simply meet customer expectations. Chapter 4 highlighted the importance of changing your perspective to adopt your customer’s point of view, rather than emphasize your product or service. Chapter 5 analyzed the results of changing your perspective. Chapter 6 admonished you to avoid overstating your own worth. Finally, Chapter 7 focused on the ripple effects of your actions. Thus, most of the facets of branding I’ve been articulating since the beginning of this book have emphasized how you affect the customer’s perceptions. In other words, I’ve been talking about the customer’s connection to your brand. Now I’m going to talk about how you perceive your own brand, and about your connection to your own brand. Creating An Authentic Brand Identity: Sincerity Can’t Be Faked! First, you must take stock of your brand identity. In the Introduction to this book I stated that everyone is a brand. Everyone has a brand identity, but not everyone understands their own brand correctly, or even knows what it is. You cannot develop an authentic, sincere brand without this understanding. And you cannot create brand evangelists — people who trust you and praise your brand every chance they get — without an authentic, sincere brand. You earn someone’s trust through your actions, so you’d better know how to act! Understanding your brand identity, and developing the trust that turns your customers into evangelists, involves knowing what your own beliefs and values are. The fact is, when you walk in your customer’s shoes, when you change your perspective to deliver the impossible, you’re reflecting a core element of your identity, your values, and your beliefs. When you are sincere about trying to understand your customers’ needs, desires, and what they’d truly love from you, a genuine connection is made that is the foundation of trust between you and your customers. Compassion and sincerity can’t be faked. Branding is not a matter of putting on a persona that others will like. It’s not playing a role, putting on a mask, or pretending — all that is superficial, a veneer that covers up the “real” you. Moreover, a veneer can be quickly spotted. I don’t think there’s anyone that hasn’t had the experience of being “sold.” It’s uncomfortable precisely because it’s not authentic. The experience simply feels hollow. Think about the slick car salesman who’s “going to do what it takes to get you into this car!” Maybe he’s heavy on the ‘hale fellow well met,’ demeanor, or drenches you with flattery. When the time comes to make an offer on the car, he engages in an overly dramatic show of anxiety. “I’m gonna see my manager right now and see if I can talk him into this one. Between you and me, he’s having a bad day, but I’m really gonna work on him.” Eventually, the long, drawn out ceremonial dance ends with you signing the lease or sale papers, but you walk away knowing the whole experience could have been different, and you dread the prospect of going through it again. Why do you dread it? What has soured you on going through the process again? In a word: insincerity. Insincerity is the wolf trotting around in sheep’s clothing pretending to be something he’s not. When you experience a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you’re soured on future interactions. It is this sort of insincerity that destroys a brand or prevents an authentic one from being established. The car salesman example is cliché, just like the sales girl at the clothing store who tells you every single piece of clothing you try on looks so good! Though they’re cliché for a reason, we tend to forget just what that reason is. We instantly recognize the cliché, but not what made it true in the first place.
