STC130: Why celebrities sell to corporate clients (and why they should hire you instead)

Описание: Have you ever wondered why celebrities are selling to corporate clients and why they might not be the best fit for corporate organisations? In today's episode we're questioning the qualifications of high-profile personalities who are delivering well-being services to businesses resulting in huge entrepreneurial successes. Leaving you to ask the question 'what advantages can professionally certified experts bring to the table instead' and why you need to develop a robust sales process to open corporate doors.


Interestingly, we'll be understanding the history of celebrity brand partnerships, the challenges faced by regular entrepreneurs in this space, and why authentic expertise should never be overlooked.


Jess also shares tips on leveraging summer downtime to reflect on your goals, build quality conversations with key stakeholders, and generate valuable referrals. Plus, stay tuned for exciting updates about inbound lead generation, upcoming case studies, and special offers in the C Suite ® program.


In this episode I'm sharing;


•

•

Developing a strong and effective sales process is crucial. Focus on quality conversations with the right stakeholders to build lasting influence and generate valuable referrals.

Key Quotes;





"I think we should have a bit of a conversation about celebrity culture and why celebrities are making that decision to move into more corporate partnerships rather than necessarily just being sponsored by companies to wear their clothes or being paid to endorse products."


— Jess Lorimer 00:13:0900:13:27





"We have this rise in celebrities endorsing things or creating products and programs and services that are about their own lived experience and not necessarily because they have any other expertise."


— Jess Lorimer 00:16:5000:17:04





"So, yes, there is an uneven playing field, because it is easy for organisations to buy from celebrities. They talk a lot more about what they're doing for a start, and they are usually quite happy to leverage any relationships that they may have themselves, that their publicist may have, etcetera, to get into organisations."


— Jess Lorimer 00:18:4700:19:10


"I've had lots of conversations with people who have huge audiences but who want to create more reliable revenue streams, who are tired of some of the things and experiences that they're having in the online world."


— Jess Lorimer 00:28:4000:28:56


"I've actually got a really, really cool newsletter planned in August for you about the way that you can focus on raising your prices and why you shouldn't be afraid to be a premium resource for corporate clients."
