DEVELOPING PERSONAL BRANDING

Ever occur to you, why Coca-Cola, able to survive for 100 years, or tea bottle Sosro managed to occupy his current position as a "market leader" drink tea in bottles, or a Harley Davidson that can last a few tens of years in the bicycle industry market motor, or with Microsoft's Bill Gates of his, or Abdullah Gymnastiar with its MQ Corporation.

And we all know they each have a competitor who is not little and not weak.

The marketing strategy is the answer.

The attraction that makes consumers want to buy the product, even if the price is more expensive, although the product attributes (taste, shape or model, color, etc), are not different from similar products.

In many ways, the success of marketing is largely determined by how attractive the product trademark.

Trademark or branding plays an important role for the company as well as someone to be successful, because the company or person who has a strong personal branding will be able to demonstrate the features and advantages in certain areas.

In short, personal branding is a reflection of capabilities, excellence and reputation of a person or company.

One of the media is simple but quite helpful is preparing a resume that contains a record of achievement or accomplishment you or your company, do not forget to include your competence or a specialized company / product.
