How to Find Executives with “Juice” On Twitter

  • 1 min read

Dan Schawbel recently wrote an absolute must read blog post entitled: Branding by Association is the Single Most Powerful Idea in Personal Branding. He explores, in depth, the idea of “branding by association”, a concept that can propel you towards your goals faster and create more opportunities along the way.

I have used the “branding by association” concept extensively and it is the easiest way to establish relationships with those who are more successful than you. And through associating with those more established and successful than you are, you can put yourself in position for some great opportunities.

What is branding by association?

Branding by association is simply the act of taking the “juice” attributed to another brand and using it to help build your brand. When you take the “juice” from another brand you inherent the perceived attributes widely accepted by the public for that brand.

Branding by association is by far the most powerful way to quickly establish a presence and network with some very influential people.

One of the best things about social networks is that they give you access to people you would not have otherwise.  You can interact with C-suite execs and other big fish high up on the corporate ladder, if you know where to find them online.

The key is finding the influencers that have the “juice”, so you can borrow some for yourself as you establish a relationship with them.

But, how do you find them easily without wasting a lot of time?

The habit of stacking your own plates and wiping up your own mess before leaving a restaurant table costs nothing and asks nothing of anyone else, which is probably why it stands out so clearly to the people whose job is cleaning up after everyone who doesn’t.

Describing a life as busy and in demand isn’t only a complaint — consumer researchers studying status signaling found that busyness can function as a badge, because people often read a packed schedule as evidence that someone is competent, scarce, and wanted by others.
