Episode 320: 5 Ways To Use Your Authority To Gain a Competitive Edge

Authority positioning is a brand strategy that can confer credibility and influence. When someone is perceived as an authority in a particular field, their opinions and advice are more likely to be trusted and followed. Additionally, being an authority can open up opportunities for leadership and provide helpful decision-making cues.

If your market is crowded, an effective technique to stand out amongst a sea of “sameness” of offers is using your authority levers. When other influencers are seeking speakers or collaboration, they search for other influential experts. When a potential client is looking for someone to solve their problems, they tend to choose those with the highest authority.

Authority positioning can provide you a massive advantage.
