Prepared privately for Bradley & Co

Paul, you hold the Freedom of the City of London. It sits in paragraph four of your bio.

I went looking for you the way a Mayfair estate director would, before they’d ever call. Burlington Arcade, the Royal Exchange, One Berkeley Street. The proof is all there, and it reads like the firm talking, with your name nowhere near it. Might be deliberate. Probably isn’t. Either way it’s the first thing I’d want to sort if this were mine.

What a buyer sees first

The gap

The Freedom of the City took twenty years of work to earn. On your site it’s a line in a team bio. Your case studies name addresses most consultancies would trade a year of fees for, written in a voice that could belong to anyone. So when an estate director shortlists HR partners, there’s nothing carrying your name to do the deciding before you’re in the room.

Where your field is standing

The field around you

Open the HR firms a buyer weighs you against and the words blur together. Tailor-made. Trustworthy. Bespoke. Peace of mind. They’re on your site too, and on everyone else’s. Words the whole field uses stop doing any work. The opening is quieter than louder marketing. Be the one name a hospitality GM or an estate director actually finds when they go looking, in your own voice, before anyone has picked up the phone.

If I did one thing first

If I did one thing first, I’d take the Freedom of the City, the security-sector heritage, and the estate work, and put them on camera in your own words this month. One place, your name on it, working while you’re off the pitch.

If you want the thinking behind this

The conversation with Liana

This is the whole idea, in ten minutes. Liana Fricker and I talking through how a firm builds trust with buyers before it is ever in the room.

Who you would speak to

Two people, one system

Kevan Smith and Liana Fricker, Epiphany Content

I make the trust content. The strategy that decides what to build, and in what order, sits with Liana. A short call with her maps the whole thing to your firm before anyone commits to anything.

A short conversation

Worth twenty minutes?

If any of this rings true, the next step is a short strategy call with Liana. No deck, no pressure. She will tell you straight whether there is a system here worth building for Bradley & Co.
