The Visibility Paradox in Personal Branding
• B2C Products (like chewing gum): High visibility = Direct impact on sales
• Consulting Services: Quality connections > Quantity of views
• Professional Services: Targeted reach > Mass appeal
When Mass Visibility Makes Sense
Consumer Products
- Direct correlation between views and sales potential
- Brand awareness drives purchasing decisions
- Volume-based business model benefits from maximum exposure
Mass Market Services
- Broad market appeal requires wide reach
- Consumer decision-making is often quick and price-driven
- Brand recognition plays a crucial role
When Targeted Visibility Matters More
As Head of Sales at PostFlow, I've seen firsthand how consulting businesses thrive on different metrics. Here's what really counts:
Professional Services
- Engagement from decision-makers
- Quality of network connections
- Demonstration of expertise
- Trust-building content
Consulting Services
- Focused audience targeting
- Deep industry insights
- Problem-solving capabilities
- Relationship development
Finding Your Sweet Spot
Your personal branding strategy should align with your business model. While working with clients through PostFlow's content creation platform, I help them identify their ideal visibility strategy based on:
• Target audience characteristics
• Sales cycle length
• Service complexity
• Purchase decision factors
Remember, successful personal branding isn't about chasing vanity metrics - it's about connecting with the right audience in meaningful ways that drive business growth.
