In this episode, we're joined by Michael Doyle, the founder and CEO of Brand Iron, to dive into the powerful influence of branding and business development. Michael's insights shed light on how consistency plays a vital role in building relationships and establishing trust with customers. Rather than focusing solely on self-promotion, he emphasizes that effective branding and marketing strategies should center around assisting clients in achieving their desired outcomes and paving their path to success. According to Michael, this approach is not only smart but also fosters a genuine connection with customers.

Michael is a marketing expert who collaborates with companies to refine their brand image and messaging. He and his dedicated team work tirelessly to synchronize efforts across all departments, ensuring a seamless process for successful branding. This involves meticulous tracking and measuring of leads, carefully inputting them into a comprehensive database, and then quantifying, qualifying, and monitoring their progress.

Additionally, Michael highlights the importance of timely evaluation and measurement of processes and systems. To ensure everyone is on the same page, he starts engagements by clearly outlining goals and objectives, and implementing regular checkpoints along the way.
