Today on the Book More Show, we're talking with Kevin Berwald, chartered financial planner and CMO of Catalyst4Growth, a sales team development organization, about his latest book _Get More Great Referrals in Less Time_, a book born from the feedback he received from an earlier book he created.
This first book contained 20 big ideas that sales professionals can use to acquire more clients. One was the suggestion to create a professional biography as an introduction tool. It was an idea that generated a lot of interest and new clients. Feedback and success that led to Kevin creating a book specifically on this subject.
It's a great example of a 'LEAN' approach to using a book as a conversation starter. You can never be sure which ideas will resonate with potential clients, but when you identify a hot topic - Double down and generate all the leads you need.
We had a great conversation about this and about the idea itself, creating a professional biography you can share with people to help them understand and remember the referral opportunities you're looking for. We discuss the seven essential elements of a successful biography and advise on deepening each element's impact. Kevin also highlights the power of personal details in building trust and connections.
There are a lot of great takeaways here, both when thinking about using a book to build your business and creating a professional bio to easily share what you do.
