In this episode Sarah discusses how to treat yourself and what you can offer to an employer like it’s a product. Do you know your core features? How are you marketing yourself? Are relationships important to “selling” myself? All these questions and more are answered!

01:16 I really believe that your career has a lot in common with a product and that the reason so many products fail is the same reason

05:23 Products can fail for three reasons:the design, the marketing, and the sales component

07:55 Every day you are trying to get people to buy into different things and the customers are your boss, your co-workers, peers, etc.

10:59 It’s really important that you are doing small things to be marketing and selling yourself to stay visible

11:58 Do you have clarity on your core features? Products have features. You have features.

13:32 Question number one for you to ponder. Are you clear on the “design of you”?

17:55 Building trust with your audience is important. Without it, everything could come crumbling down based on your marketing choices
