INDIVIDUAL AUTHORITY®
Turn expertise into commercial advantage.
For established B2B businesses that want their people's knowledge, experience and relationships to strengthen reputation, visibility and growth.
Individual Authority® is a 12-month programme that helps leaders, sales teams and experts become more visible, credible and influential.
It connects their expertise to sales, marketing, PR and AI visibility, helping the right prospects discover, recognise and trust your business.
WHY NOW
Reputation has become personal
AI has made it easier than ever for every business to produce content, messaging and marketing at scale.
As more of it starts to look and sound the same, the people inside businesses become increasingly important.
Buyers - and AI tools - want to know who really understands a subject, who has experience they can trust, and who they'd actually like to work with.
That puts your leaders, sales teams and experts at the heart of how your reputation is built across LinkedIn, search, media, events, customer conversations and AI.
Individual Authority® helps you turn that expertise into commercial advantage.
THE PROGRAMME
Put more of your expertise to work
Individual Authority® is a structured 12-month programme for leaders, sales teams and subject-matter experts. It combines strategic alignment, small-cohort coaching, live commercial application and accountability.
We establish what each person should become known for, who they need to be known by and how their expertise can support the wider commercial plan.
That could mean building stronger relationships across target accounts, increasing visibility in a priority market, supporting a new proposition or becoming more recognised around the subjects your business wants to own.
HOW IT WORKS
Built around your commercial priorities
The programme stays closely connected to what is happening in the business throughout the 12 months.
- 01
Align
We start with your commercial priorities. Together, we identify the right participants, agree where greater visibility and influence can make the biggest difference, and define what each person should become known for. We also look at who they need to reach and the relationships they need to build.
- 02
Build
Small-cohort sessions help participants develop the confidence, skills and habits to communicate their expertise more effectively. That can include LinkedIn, writing, networking, customer conversations, public speaking, media opportunities and contributing to wider marketing and communications activity.
- 03
Apply
We connect each person's activity to the commercial priorities already in play across the business, whether that's target accounts, customer relationships, campaigns, events, new propositions or PR opportunities. That means their visibility is always helping to support business activity, rather than becoming a separate stream of work.
- 04
Build momentum
Fortnightly cohort sessions and quarterly reviews create consistency across the year. We look at what's working, where new opportunities are emerging and how each person can keep strengthening their reputation, network and influence. Over time, their visibility and relationships build into something much more valuable for the business.
THE RESULT
More of your expertise working for the business
Individual Authority® gives your business a wider network of recognised people who can build familiarity, credibility and trust in the markets you want to win. That can mean:
- Greater confidence and a clearer professional reputation for participants
- Stronger recognition around the subjects they know best
- Broader networks and stronger customer relationships
- Earlier, warmer commercial conversations across target accounts
- Better access to senior decision-makers and greater recognition in priority markets
- More recognised voices across leadership and commercial teams
- A visible body of expertise that buyers, search engines and AI can discover
- Stronger material for marketing, PR, campaigns, events and customer communications
Each person builds their own reputation while contributing to the wider reputation of the business. Over time, the authority of your people builds authority for the company.
WHO IT'S FOR
For established B2B businesses with valuable expertise
You have experienced leaders with valuable perspectives, commercial teams that would benefit from stronger networks and greater recognition, or technical and subject-matter experts whose knowledge could have much greater visibility outside the business.
You may want to build reputation around a priority market or proposition, create more recognised voices across the company or give sales and marketing more credible expertise to work with.
My Individual Authority® clients are predominantly established B2B businesses across supply chain and logistics, transport and fleet, software and technology, and professional services.
