“You need to have the relationship and connection piece. But without the authority, you’re not their go-to… authority plus relationship, that’s what makes you top of mind.”
— Jaclyn Mellone
Do you ever dream about becoming a respected, go-to expert in your industry?
My guest for this episode is Jaclyn Mellone, a coach who helps entrepreneurs establish reputations as thought leaders through building their authority.
The truth is that becoming a go-to person is about more than just building relationships. You need to establish a level of authority in order to be the expert, vendor, or service-provider people quickly turn to.
“The people who are getting featured in Forbes, the people who we’re seeing on TV, the people that are selling the most courses online (spoiler alert!) are not necessarily the best at what they do,” Jaclyn explains. “Just because they are seen as the authority on that topic, it’s not like there was this committee meeting where people were evaluated!”
Building authority is not about getting better — it’s about getting seen. People grow to trust experts when they see others trust them.
It’s also about proving that you’re capable of understanding the needs of your specific audience — the more targeted the niche, the easier it is to be positioned as an authority.
Building authority not only keeps you top of mind when people are looking to work with someone in your industry — it’ll also make them more willing to pay what you’re charging!
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The A.R.M.O.R. framework for building authority and relationships, creating the right offer and mindset, and choosing the right opportunities
- The professional benefits you’ll enjoy once you’ve established yourself as an authority
- The mindset issues female entrepreneurs struggle with when it comes to pricing — and how to shift your beliefs
