Ep 150: Communicating Your Value

In this special episode of Game Changers, you go 1-on-1 with Michael LeJeune to talk about Communicating Your Value. One of the best ways to differentiate yourself from your competition is to better communicate your value through the use of metrics and past performance. We use a process called competency-mapping to do this. It involves going through your past performance and looking for the common value themes. Once you do this, you can create impressive corporate overviews, 45-second pitch statements, and you will have outstanding content for proposals.
