Brand personality is everything. Whether you own a brick & mortar store, are an online marketer, in network marketing, or even if you’re not in business yet, it’s so important that you understand that having a clear and definitive brand personality – that people WANT to associate with – is the secret ingredient to any business success.

Take this for example…

First, imagine you’re overweight and you’re looking for a solution.

On one side, there’s a company and they’re offering you a pill to lose weight. It’s the latest craze, they’ve sold x million packages already, it’s made with the highest quality, organic ingredients, in a privately owned factory off in the Himalayan Andes. The main ingredient is a fruit found only in that area, and you see this product on some shelf in some big-box retail store you’re in.

Now, on the other side – remember, you’re still overweight here, looking for a solution – you meet this person, and this person shares with you their story of how they were in the exact same position as you, they’ve struggled with being overweight for such a long time, they know how horrible it feels inside, they know how hard it is to lose weight, they’ve tried all the different pills and exercise programs, they’ve lost weight, only to gain it back again, and recently she’s found a solution that’s permanently worked for her, and she wants to share it with you.

Who would peak your interest more? I’m about 99.99% sure it’s the person in the second situation. Why?

It’s the personal touch, the human aspect of it. Having a good brand personality is all about your story. Who are you? Share with the world where you’ve come from, what you’ve experienced, what you’ve learned, the massive obstacles you’ve had to overcome, and THEN why you’re providing the solution that you want to provide.

People don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it. So when it comes to building a good brand personality, realize, it doesn’t matter what you do at all, there are people out there who are doing the same thing. What is going to separate why people do business with you, is the relationship they have with you. The feeling they have when interacting with you. The knowing that you can help them get where they want to go… and underlying all of this is the REASON you do what you do.

The explanation of this goes beyond words. When you are around someone who believes as you believe, you are naturally drawn to them. Share your beliefs. This is what makes a strong brand personality.

If you’re in network marketing, and your business is to enroll people into an opportunity, realize that people don’t join opportunities, they join leaders. A strong brand personality in this space is someone who is very clearly positioned to help people achieve success. How will joining your team help others achieve success?

To build a solid brand personality that people want to see more of, associate with, and ultimately do business with, have your brand be fueled by a MISSION. A clear, definite PURPOSE. Have your business be a MOVEMENT. Bring forth transformation to this world. What is your CAUSE?
