The Importance of having a SENSATIONAL Corporate Profile In many ways, a corporate profile is like a first date, the perfect platform for someone to gather all the information they need. It is a quick look into who and what a company is. It tells others what you offer, your target market, your unique strengths, what your values are, and just how effective your company is. Whether you are actually on your first date, or creating the perfect company profile, there are a few key points that you should always remember. • First Impressions Count You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and, the fact remains that first impressions last.

SENSATIONAL<br />

<strong>Corporate</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

In many ways, a corporate<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile is like a first date, the<br />

perfect platform for someone to<br />

gather all the information they<br />

need. It is a quick look into who<br />

and what a company is. It tells<br />

others what you <strong>of</strong>fer, your target<br />

market, your unique strengths,<br />

what your values are, and just<br />

how effective your company is.<br />

Whether you are actually on your<br />

first date, or creating the perfect<br />

company pr<strong>of</strong>ile, there are a few<br />

key points that you should always<br />

remember.<br />

• First Impressions Count<br />

You never get a second chance<br />

to make a first impression,<br />

and, the fact remains that first<br />

impressions last. We are all<br />

naturally inclined to form an<br />

opinion, based firstly on how


something looks, and secondly<br />

on what it says. It is therefore<br />

essential that you should always<br />

‘Dress to Impress’. Employing<br />

the help <strong>of</strong> a company such as<br />

Sales Squad is the equivalent <strong>of</strong><br />

hiring a stylist to get you ready<br />

to make a truly outstanding<br />

first impression.<br />

While many corporate pr<strong>of</strong>iles<br />

tend to strive for pure<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism, the role <strong>of</strong><br />

creativity cannot be denied.<br />

Nobody wants to settle for<br />

boring, they want to be<br />

captivated. So why shouldn’t<br />

you strive to be breathtaking<br />

at every turn?<br />

• Saying the Wrong Thing Can<br />

Result in Awkwardness<br />

Getting someone to view your<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile isn’t always the hard<br />

part. That comes with engaging<br />

in conversation and saying the<br />

right thing to form a lasting<br />

bond.<br />

Your corporate pr<strong>of</strong>ile is<br />

viewed and assessed by<br />

your existing and potential<br />

customers, prospective<br />

investors, business partners,<br />

job applicants and even other<br />

companies. So it is important<br />

to make a good impression<br />

and provide them with all the<br />

necessary information.<br />

‘Necessary’ meaning not<br />

a forty-page document<br />

containing your history and<br />

the previous five years’ worth<br />

<strong>of</strong> statistics. You don’t want to


ore your reader into moving<br />

on to the next option.<br />

Aim to keep it brief and highlight<br />

all your best qualities. What<br />

are your company’s strengths<br />

and values? What makes your<br />

company stand out? What do<br />

you <strong>of</strong>fer? Answer the questions<br />

that you think others might ask<br />

and tell your story.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Outcome Can Last for<br />

Years<br />

Sometimes your first date ends<br />

in failure, and other times you<br />

form the beginnings <strong>of</strong> a longlasting<br />

relationship. <strong>The</strong> same<br />

can be applied to anyone who<br />

views your corporate pr<strong>of</strong>ile.<br />

It is the perfect platform on<br />

which to encourage consumers,<br />

investors and many more to<br />

choose your company, and<br />

remain loyal for years to come.<br />

<strong>The</strong> goal remains to create a<br />

lasting relationship.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a specific list <strong>of</strong> things<br />

you should have on your corporate<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile.<br />

• ‘Do I Even Know You?’<br />

Nobody likes a blind date,<br />

and your company shouldn’t<br />

be forced to go on one either.<br />

So make sure to include the<br />

basics, your company name,<br />

contact information, and<br />

anything else you might need<br />

to know.<br />

• “Tell Me More”<br />

This is where you go more in<br />

depth and you are given the<br />

opportunity to let others know<br />

who you are and where you<br />

came from.<br />

• “What are your goals?”<br />

Your goals, mission and vision.<br />

What does your company stand<br />

for and strive for?


• “What do you do?”<br />

Your company provides<br />

products and services. So tell<br />

us about them, tell us about<br />

how effective they are and<br />

what you have to <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />

• “What makes you different<br />

from everyone else out there?”<br />

Sell yourself, or your company,<br />

and tell everyone out there why<br />

a consumer or investor should<br />

choose you over others.<br />

Our focus is<br />

your success.<br />

• “Invest in yourself”<br />

Remember, no one wants to<br />

invest in someone who isn’t<br />

willing to invest in themselves.<br />

Your consumer wants to know<br />

that they are valued, because<br />

building a strong businessclient<br />

relationship ensures<br />

that they will be more likely<br />

to recommend you to others.<br />

Which can only help in building<br />

and even larger client base.<br />

And most importantly, don’t<br />

forget to be yourself. You<br />

can’t sell something that you<br />

don’t have. So be open and<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional, but don’t be afraid<br />

to add a little glitter or throw in<br />

some flare. This is your platform,<br />

where you choose how you will<br />

be showcased.<br />
