Nick Nanton, Esq, The Celebrity Agent and personal branding expert, asks businesses if they have made it to “It Depends” Status.
Orlando, Fla. – August 9, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., recently published an article on his website http://www.DicksNantonAgency.com, explaining how being able to say “It Depends” to your clients means that you have the knowledge and confidence in your abilities to be able to offer multiple solutions to a problem.
The article, titled “Personal Branding: Have You Made It to ‘It Depends’ Status,” explores how businesses can become the “go-to” expert in their industry by having the knowledge and confidence to say “It Depends” to a client’s problem, and then guiding them to make the correct decision to solve the problem.  The piece includes the following excerpt:
Many of our clients are experts in their field and are offering their expertise on their particular niche to those who don’t have the same amount of education and training, etc.  Many of them have used personal branding to brand themselves as the go-to expert in their field.
As many of us get comfortable in our line of work, surrounding ourselves with people who have similar interests, and who work in the same industry – we sometimes forget that there are so many people out there that don’t know anything about the intricacies of what we do – even the things that we think are common knowledge.  When people seek your advice, they are looking for you to cut through the clutter and solve whatever problem they may have.
