U.S. Business News Feature: Rethinking Job Titles
I’m excited to share that U.S. Business News recently featured me on a topic that I frequently talk about with my clients and followers. If you’re a solopreneur calling yourself CEO, President, Founder, and Owner, then this is for you!
In this article, I mentioned how crucial job titles play for solo entrepreneurs. Generic titles like Founder or CEO might sound cool and important but don’t convey any details about what you actually do for your clients. Strategic titling can enhance branding, manage client expectations, and foster closer connections.

Key Highlights From the Feature:
Impact of Job Titles: Job titles significantly influence customer perception and sales for solopreneurs, cautioning against generic titles like Founder or CEO that may not accurately represent the individual's role.
Strategic Importance: The strategic significance of well-chosen titles in communicating the solopreneur’s unique role and value directly can greatly enhance client engagement and sales.
Brand Positioning: The choice of job title serves as a powerful branding tool, reflecting the solopreneur’s mission and contributions beyond routine tasks like accounting and marketing. Strategic titling helps manage client expectations, enhance brand prestige, and justify premium pricing for services.
Avoiding Disconnect: Speaking as a former diplomat consultant, I advise against overly authoritative titles like CEO or President, which may create psychological barriers and distance between solopreneurs and their clients. Instead, it advocates for titles that foster closer connections and relatability.
Taking Control of Identity: Solopreneurs are encouraged to take control of their business identity by selecting titles that accurately reflect their roles and unique value propositions. Consulting with branding experts can help refine professional images and elevate market standing, contributing to sustainable business growth.
