Welcome to Episode 71 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, we talk with marketing brand strategist Nikki Bradley who helps business owners get clarity around their brand, confidence in their messaging and package their purpose into profitable products and services. Nikki stresses that targeting the right audience is key to creating effective marketing and building a great brand. In looking for clients, she goes beyond demographics to the characteristics of people she wants to work with and carries this same approach through when searching for suppliers, recruiting employees and finding companies she wants to partner with.

Today, as the COVID-19 pandemic forces businesses to look at new ways to grow and survive, many companies see the need to collaborate with other organizations. Identifying the right business partners – and letting organizations know you are willing to collaborate on projects – are two timely topics Nikki discusses with us.

So if you want to know:

  • How finding your ideal customers is a filtering and qualifying process
  • Why it’s okay not to resonate with every potential client
  • How to apply the “airport test” to prospective clients, employees and business partners
  • How what you focus on is what you will attract
