QUESTION to Dr. Nido Qubein: Our clients come to us because they wanted to grow their business and reach more people online. So, you, are undeniably one of the most recognizable brand in the space of personal development, leadership and entrepreneurship. Would you share with us why do you think in today’s’ very competitive digital world, are marketing and branding so important?

ANSWER: You know what? It’s all about one thing. It’s relevance. So, if you can identify the relevance that you bring forth to your clients, to the stage and into the environments in which you work; and if you can translate that relevance in a meaningful way, in a purposeful way, in a useful way; people will always exchange their legal tender for that relevance. I’ve survived on a platform for, well, more than 40 years. You will be hard-pressed to find many people who started speaking when I started speaking, or are still very actively speaking. I’m very, very, busy and I command very high fees to speak, and the only reason for that, is not necessarily skill. It’s relevance. It’s talking about messages and subjects that people value.

Now, marketing is the function that translates the usefulness and relevance of what you do to other people. I’m a huge disciple of marketing. We invest a tremendous amount of resources at High Point University in marketing. Marketing is like one hand. You have merchandising, selling, promotion, publicity, advertising; all of those come under the umbrella called marketing. So marketing is…is; you market or you die in a very competitive world. It’s not a choice, you have to do it.
