Three C's of Messaging

Written by CPhillips

August 26, 2016

Does your business have a message? Do you want people to identify you with specific ideas, products or services?

Implementing the “Three C’s” drives those messages home with your customers. You need to be consistent in your message. Completely communicate your message. Be creative in your communications.

Consistency. You have to make a plan and stick to it. Your story or message needs to be told the same every time by every employee at every opportunity.

Completely. You are the manager of the message. It is your responsibility to make sure the whole team – not just you and your department – is on the same page.

Be creative. Think of new ways to deliver your message. Could you put it on your vehicle? Can you create a look and feel that energizes a tired message? Have you put it in today’s words? Are there phrases or terms that are no longer current? Develop a social media campaign. Think of any way you can draw attention to your message.

There’s a bonus “C” as well – Be Correct! If you are quoting someone, get it right. If you are using facts, make sure they are accurate. If you can’t get it right, don’t send it out.

I believe it’s vital for women to pay it forward and be supportive of each other and the work (both professional and personally) each other does. We need to share what we learn along the path and not hold it tight. We need to light the path for those younger women beginning their climb, so their voices and ideas can shine. Remember, we don’t have to be perfect at what we do. We just have to be perfectly us doing it.

Imperfections make us shine

Our scars and baggage show the world we have made it this far on the journey. We’ve coped with the sadness, disappointments, and failures and still managed to find moments to celebrate and grow along the way.

It's Gal-entine's Day!

It’s time to set jealousy and competition aside and celebrate the accomplishments of each of us. We need to share the lessons we’ve learned along the way so others realize their struggles are not in vain. We need to celebrate what makes each of us unique and special.
