\"klt\"<\/a>Building your know, like and trust factor (aka KLT) is a critical component in a successful career. \u00a0Whether you have stepped into a new position, or soon will do so, know that it requires sustained engagement with influencers and advocates in your industry to be known, liked and trusted.<\/p>\n

Yes, knowledge and experience are first steps, yet to be trusted as an expert your must also be known and develop clout, both in your organization and your industry. \u00a0To build trust, you must also market your expertise and your results.<\/p>\n

Begin to build your visibility by assisting others and by being a strong brand ambassador for yourself and your organization. \u00a0Grow your external visibility by volunteering and staying connected to channels of trade that support your industry. \u00a0This allows you to stay engaged with key influencers inside and outside your industry and organization.<\/p>\n

Share your knowledge and passion in relevant ways. \u00a0Write for a newsletter or mentor others. \u00a0Talk regularly to your boss and other key influencers. \u00a0Understand who the thought leaders are in your field and follow and engage them — making sure you have a strong online presence.<\/p>\n

Here are three actions not to overlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Actively manager your online profiles, keeping them accurate and up-to-date.<\/li>\n
  2. Build your own thought leadership. \u00a0Write articles or a blog. \u00a0Curate and share content about your field\/industry. \u00a0Become known as a subject matter expert.<\/li>\n
  3. Engage and stay engaged. \u00a0Relationships do count — both in person and online. \u00a0Read, comment and share information. \u00a0Introduce like-minded people. \u00a0Connect with thought leaders at meetings, conferences, and online. \u00a0Make phone calls. Write notes and send them by ‘snail mail’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Read the reports and articles of others in your organization and industry. \u00a0Learn what is important to them. \u00a0Note what they are reading and watching. \u00a0Listen twice as much as you talk. \u00a0Social media has made connecting and sharing information with individuals in your industry so much easier than in years past.<\/p>\n

    Creating KLT is an ongoing process. \u00a0It requires that you build and maintain expertise; build and maintain relationships and share what you know. \u00a0Doing so provides proof of your influence and shows hiring managers that you are liked and trusted by people in your organization and industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
