What Do I Do
With My Headshots?

People decide who you are before they ever talk to you, and your photo is usually the first thing they see. Learn to turn your headshots into graphics that show what you're known for, not just what you look like.

Before they call you,
they size you up.

Nearly 70% of the buyer's journey happens before anyone reaches out. They scroll your profile, your reviews, and your website, and they've already decided: the right person, or just another option?

That's how fast people form a first impression of trust and competence.

Here's what happens in that split second:

See

They see your photo before they read a word.

Feel

They get a gut feeling: approachable, credible, or forgettable.

Label

They file you away: the specialist, the funny one, or just another agent.

Perception shapes
selection.

Real photo. Real you.

Use a real photo.
Then make it say something.

AI headshots look polished until you show up and don't match. That gap is where trust breaks. Use AI for the ideas, never for your face. Then turn your real headshot into graphics that show what you're known for.

Where do you land?

Same skills.
Different label.

Every snap judgment ends in a label. Here's the ladder most pros are standing on.

  1. 01

    Qualified Ghost

    Great at what you do, but your photo is missing, or from 2015.

    Label: nobody.
  2. 02

    Vanilla Expert

    You show up with the same stiff headshot as everyone else, so you compete on price.

    Label: just another option.
  3. 03

    Specialist

    Your face shows up with what you're known for, again and again.

    Label: the go-to.

Commodities compete on price. Specialists get chosen.

Alan went from car salesman to “Just give it to Alan.” Same skills, different label.

Meet Alan Stern.

Alan spent 13+ years selling cars at Chevrolet and Lexus, where he became the dealership's go-to Corvette guy. “Just give it to Alan.” During the 2020 lockdowns his car memes made him “the meme guy,” and that led to his first talk in 2022.

Since then he's led 100+ live, laptops-open workshops for sales pros, entrepreneurs, and small-business owners.

I didn't suddenly become a better salesperson. I became the right salesperson for a specific situation.

Questions

Before you hit play.

Is it really free?

Yes. Enter your name and email and you'll get the full recording and the workbook.

Who is this for?

Sales reps, entrepreneurs, and small-business owners (Realtors and loan officers included) who are great in person but don't market themselves online.

I already have a headshot. Isn't that enough?

A headshot shows what you look like. This shows you how to use it so people know what you're known for.

What do I need to follow along?

A laptop, a free Canva account, and your headshot. A professional one works best; a clear, well-lit photo will do to start. No design skills needed: you start from templates. ChatGPT is optional, for idea prompts.
