How To Elevate Your Consultancy Profile by Crafting a Powerful Position Statement

Are you feeling the tug of ambition, dreaming of transitioning from the security of full-time work to the exhilarating realm of consultancy in your SME field? 

Or perhaps you’re yearning to raise your profile, standing out as an authority in your industry? 

As the humdrum of full-time work whispers a yearning for something more, the prospect of consultancy shimmers on the horizon. 

That’s great. 

So how do you get yourself out there? 

How do you start fine-tuning what you do? 

What is a Position Statement?

Picture this – you’re at a networking event, and someone asks you what you do. Do you have an answer that goes beyond the surface? Crafting a positioning statement is not just about creating a tagline; it’s about expressing YOU. Your brand’s heartbeat.

A powerful position statement captures who you are, what you offer, and why it’s irresistible. It’s not just a marketing spiel; it’s the essence of your brand woven into a few impactful sentences.

Where to start?

Before we dive into crafting your perfect position statement, let’s tap into your unique story – the experiences, passions, and perspectives that define you. This isn’t just about consultancy; it’s about illuminating the essence of who you are. If you’ve worked with me before, you’d have heard of my Origin Story Technique or my Impact Alchemy. It’s where personal brand meets strategy. Together we’ll draw out your unique story,  a narrative that resonates with authenticity, setting the stage for your consultancy brand.

Who do I start with? 

To capture your perfect audience you need to speak to them directly. Picture your ideal client. What challenges do they face? How can your consultancy alleviate their pain points? Your position statement should be tailored to resonate with their exact needs.

How do I solve their problem?

To shine the light on why you’re the solution to their problems, you need to understand exactly how you solve them. Begin by narrowing down your expertise. What makes you stand out in your SME field? What’s your competitive advantage? What makes you, you? And how does that answer their pain point? Identify what makes you unique and see your true value. Be seen and understood for who you truly are.

When do I own it? 

When you understand your value. Your unique value is in the way you  articulate your legacy, bigger mission, or purpose. When you embody what it feels like to be a leader on your own terms – in your own skin; in your own words; and derived from your own greatness. If you need help with this, I created Sprint Offerings – a blend of done-with-you and done-for-you services to kick start you embodying your true self. 

How to refine it?

After you’ve delved deep and unearth and articulate your unique contribution, rework it until it’s short, impactful, and to the point. Aim for one to three sentences or phrases; clarity resonates better than complexity.

Here’s some short, snappy examples that stick: 

• We solve business problems by looking at your humans first (HR company)
• I empower companies to integrate sustainable holistic healthcare frameworks by commercialising the outcomes. (Medical SME Consultant for Cruise Companies)
• I give women the tools to liberate themselves into money freedom, and build a financial legacy. (Financial Liberation Coach).

Conclusion:

 A powerful position statement isn’t truly powerful until you’ve truly stepped into it. Go out and live it. Show up more. Do more. Be more impactful.
