Key takeaways from this episode:
The 3 pieces of pie: Performance, Image and Exposure
Credibility is built on reliability
The secret to success is found in your daily routine
Highlights:
“I think image is only 30% of your success rate. So with that and performance we've only got 40%. So 60% of the tasty pie is all about exposure.” - 4:45 - Gary Gamp
“Exposure is kind of the reason for networking. So if 60% of your personal brand comes from exposure, it means you've got to get yourself out there. But the important thing is that if you don't have a strong image, then exposure is not a good thing, because you're just emanating bad stuff.” - 8:20 - Gary Gamp
“The important thing is that your credibility is starting to be formed based on how reliable you are, and the perception of reliability. There's a number of things that contribute to this, and a big one is about being on time.” - 11:40 - Gary Gamp
“Probably the biggest way to boost your credibility - beyond being on time because I think time is really important, and links in - is to do what you say.” - 14:15 - Gary Gamp
“Next week, when you speak to any customer, either the internal or external, I want you to offer three things that you can do and deliver, so you can meet expectations. ” - 23:50 - Gary Gamp
“I used to work for AT&T, and everyone would want to see me because I work for AT&T. But when you work on your own, no one really cares anymore, right? So you have to stand up on your own. The best way of doing that is to focus on being on time and manage those expectations. That route has really made a difference to me.” - 25:40 - Gary Gamp
“You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. So the difference between who you are and who you want to be is found in what you do and how you do it.” - 26:15 - Gary Gamp
