Success often breeds more success and it’s for that reason the recognition and social capital that comes with winning awards can really separate you from your competition.
Karen Hall knows what it takes to win awards, having worked on thousands of submissions for clients leading to hundreds of award wins from a host of different industries.
Karen is the founder of 101 Things Marketing and a career marketer with over 20 years’ experience, including running marketing teams for Westpac, Virgin Money and Ray White.
In this Trusted Agent podcast with Sean Scoffield, Karen discusses what it takes to write a standout award submission that will not only get noticed by the judges but also secure you recognition and wins.
Karen outlines the steps real estate agents need to take to put together a strong application that will ultimately help you stand out from the competition and build your personal brand while creating trust with both buyers and vendors.
She also offers advice on how you can market the award, not just if you win, but throughout the entire process – from the nomination right through to the awards ceremony and beyond.
If you’ve ever thought about nominating for an award, growing your reputation and building a trusted brand within the industry and the broader community, this podcast is for you.
