Avoid These 4 Shameless Attempts At Self-Promotion (Have You Done These?)

Everyone knows someone who feels the need to constantly tell others how important they are. If you have to say it, you probably aren’t. However, there are ways to promote yourself effectively without seeming foolish.

#4 - Hone Your Storytelling

Engage your listeners by making them experience your story instead of just listing accomplishments. Avoid overwhelming them with details from the start, or you may lose their interest.

#3 - Stop Compliment Fishing

Avoid fake self-deprecation intended to elicit compliments. Instead, express genuine gratitude for what you have achieved.

#2 - Substance

When talking about your experience, be specific about the duration and details. Business people value numbers and specifics, which enhance your credibility.

#1 - Humility

The best self-promoters are those who allow others to do the promoting for them through their actions and reputation.
