Episode description

In our latest episode, "It's The Bottom Line That Matters - Titles," we delved into the significance of job titles in the business world. From CEOs to visionary founders, the impact of titles on how the world perceives you is an intriguing topic worth exploring.

We discussed how certain titles can carry weight and influence how you are perceived by prospects and partners. Whether you choose a traditional title like CEO or opt for a more creative designation like "Maestro of Business," the title you adopt can shape expectations and influence business relationships.

Our hosts Jennifer, Daniel, and Patricia shared their insights on titles and how they affect their own businesses. Patricia, for example, is exploring the implications of being a Chief Visionary Officer as she navigates the early stages of her startup.

We also examined the story of a company director who intentionally portrayed himself as such, instead of as the CEO, to lessen perceived pressure in business dealings. This sparked an intriguing discussion on the power of perception management and the impact of titles, no matter the size of your business.

Daniel's comparison of job titles to the hierarchy in Star Trek was not only fun but also thought-provoking. It emphasized the leveling effect that titles can have, aligning with the "perks" and expectations that come with them.

The episode also highlighted the value of aligning your titles with the expectations and needs of your prospects and customers to foster stronger connections.

So, whether you're defining your own title, considering a change, or navigating the significance of titles in business relationships, this episode is a must-listen.

Stay tuned for our next thought-provoking discussions on the It's The Bottom Line That Matters podcast. And remember, when it comes to titles, it's the bottom line that truly matters in the business world.
