Best Practice AdviceResearch the company and apply this information within your conversations and interactions with team members. Present yourself strongly in your cover letter by reflecting your research about the company and how you align well with the culture.Interact with the company's social posts, blogs, and members of the team.Be professional in your attire and space (especially if you are remotely interviewing).Demonstrate that you fit within company values and qualifications during your interview.Do not oversell your skills, especially if you are less experienced but willing to learn. Rehearse the way you pitch your skills and experience before your interview. Do some mock interviewing with a friend. Ask smart questions, they make lasting impressions! Know your audience when asking questions. For example, don't ask the CEO an HR question and vice versa. Your interview minutes are precious- excessive casual conversation robs you of your chance to make a lasting impression!Follow up immediately after the interview- write a note to the interviewer and mention high points of your conversation, also reiterate why you would be a great fit for the position!For additional advice and tips on how to create your own unique and personal brand, reflect on our episode with Kraig Kann!P.S.

Getting Better Now from the Golf Business Network with Dean Kandle, PGA
This episode is brought to you by GBN University, powered by Golf Business Network. GBNU is where leading PGA Professionals come to improve their skills, build their careers, and increase their impact. Go to www.golfbusinessnetwork.com/gbnuniversity for more info. The last time we heard from Kraig Kann on the Getting Better Now podcast, he was giving a keynote (or as he tells us he doesn't do keynotes, he does experiences) at the Golf Business Network annual members meeting in late January 2020. So much has changed since we sat there not knowing what we were about to endure, but one thing that's consistent is Kraig's message. Communication mattered then, and it matters just as much if not more now.If you don't know, Kraig was one of the original anchors on the Golf Channel and spent nearly 20 years as a staple on the channel's golf coverage. Following the Golf Channel he served the LPGA as their Chief Communications Officer where he took part in a resurgence of the tour's visibility and success. He now leads his own company, Kann Advisory Group where he coaches business leaders to clarify and amplify their message.In this episode we get to dive deeper in a one on one conversation into the importance of personal branding for your career, why knowing your story is critical and what questions to ask yourself to understand your message and what you have to offer. All of this and a whole lot more are detailed in Kraig's award winning book, “Can You Get Our Attention?”. I encourage you to pick up a copy.www.golfbusinessnetwork.com
In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Kraig Kann. As a child, Kraig dreamt of becoming a professional sportscaster. That's all he wanted to do, and sure enough, that's what he did. Kraig became a huge success. He enjoyed a 25-year television career, including 17 years at Golf Channel/NBC. Kraig was one of the first to interview Tiger Woods as Tiger turned professional, he was hanging with Arnold Palmer, and he was living his dream. But life is hard, and things outside of our control happen all the time. The real estate market imploded just as Kraig's contract came up for renewal, forcing him to draw on his creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to make some purposeful shifts. Kraig founded Kann Advisory Group in 2016 and serves as Managing Director of the organization providing strategic media, marketing and communications consulting plus media training, branding and presentation skills coaching. His vast experience on all sides of the media including years as both a network television personality and C-Suite sports executive make him an industry influencer, respected spokesperson and requested speaker. After a 25-year television career that included 17 at Golf Channel/NBC where he was an original on-air member and ultimately the lead studio host, Kraig made a career pivot and elevated the Ladies Professional Golf Association as its Chief Communications Officer from 2011-2016. His time in front of the camera and comfort interviewing athletes, politicians and corporate executives positioned him as a unique voice on the LPGA's board and helped him strategically lead the organization's branding and marketing efforts across all media platforms during five years of unprecedented growth that included recognition in 2015 as finalist for “Sports League of the Year” by Sports Business Journal. During his tenure, Kraig led media and marketing communication partnerships between the LPGA and its list of global corporate sponsors that included KPMG, KIA, Manulife Financial, UL, All Nippon Airways, LOTTE, Rolex and CME Group, building strategic outreach and activation plans while delivering new levels of international media attention. He involved media in major news events, coached players to build their own brands and positioned social media as a vital organizational marketing resource resulting in a combined growth of more than 900% over four years. Kraig has been featured twice by SBJ as an industry communications leader and his platform of contributions includes design and delivery of a collaborative “grow the game” message as a member of Golf 20/20 and also a lead spot on the International Golf Federation Communications Committee for the 2016 Rio Olympics where he raised awareness for golf's return to the Olympic Games and hosted golf's press conferences on a worldwide stage. Kann's platform has widened significantly with roles as the weekly show host of Connected with Kraig Kann on SiriusXM, his growing podcast Tracks To Success, and the January 2021 release of his book Can You Get Our Attention? which quickly reached Top 20 status on the Amazon Best Seller List and was recognized as a finalist at the 2021 International Book Awards while winning top honors at the 2021 San Francisco Book Festival and New York Book Festival and earning the silver medal from Reader's' Favorite as “Best New Book 2021 – Marketing” A sought-after motivational speaker, his keynotes and popular “Elevate Workshop” have drawn rave reviews from the likes of Accenture, Transamerica, Titleist, SAP, KPMG, Zurich, Gallagher, Diamond Resorts, PGA of America, CoSIDA and others. His thought leadership led to a feature story in Soar to Success magazine and also grabbed the attention of PR News, Sports PR Summit, and Forbes, who have identified him as an influential speaker, featured industry panelist, council member and content contributor in the areas of media and public relations, public speaking and strategic communications.

Kraig Kann, founder of Kann Advisory is my guest on this episode of the Soar to Success podcast. He shared with us his three C’s. The first is commitment. Commitment to our own brand and the way we present ourselves. Kraig indicated it is also important to be committed to our staff, our family, and our clients. The next C is connection. We need to connect quickly with every customer to gain their trust and confidence. It’s important to make them feel like they are cared about and not just because of their impact on the bottom line. The final C is community. Kraig believes this will determine the longevity and the ultimate success of a business, or organization. Here’s what he had to say about this:“We are only as good as the community that we can build. In my presentations I talk about having a ‘Paul Revere Mindset’. You need your followers, clients, employees and friends riding around on a horse, being an advocate for you. We live in a world where word of mouth marketing is more important than ever, because of social media. I would much rather have a bunch of references and testimonials than I would a big marketing budget.”If you want to learn how to present the ‘Best You’ and more about Kann Advisory Group visit: https://kannadvisory.com/

What’s your story? If someone asked you that, do you have an answer? How are you making an impact in the position where you currently serve? Are you confident that you’re truly making an impact? What are you doing to stand out from the crowd, so that someone might tell another person about you? Anything?Some of these may be difficult questions for you to answer.

For Kraig Kann, he’s on a mission to show others the importance of answering these and many more questions, so as he puts it, you can “Stand Out When You Stand Up”.
