Renier Lombard – MD of Flance Directive Creators
I wrote my thesis on the impact of a persons reputation in the award of a complex IT Sale. The result was a landslide “yes, reputation makes a difference…” but less than 10% of folk I interviewed were actively working on their reputation or building their personal brand. Ok, that was a long time ago but when I came across Renier's profile I though we should have a chat.
And Renier showed me quickly why this is his space. He is in love with the power of tech. “Don’t skimp on technology as it allows you to automate in every area” says Renier as he dived into the tools which makes his agency work on a global scale. One that stood out for me was KRISP – a free, noise cancelling software that is amazing!
The discussion then went into how clients are engaging with the Flance team, where there is opportunity to improve and how LinkedIn is the best resource people are not using. “Remember, your first 100 posts will be horrible, but its about creating consistency” says Renier on how to unlock the power of a global social platform.
His 3 big tips are:
- Have a good looking profile, which is way more than a CV.
- Connect and engage on the platform to create meaningful connections.
- Move as many of these to off line relationships, either in person or on calls.
This episode is packed with good tips and tools, from books to podcasts, to improve your online impact.
Enjoy.
