What Makes an A-Lister?

By Laura Berman Fortgang on February 2, 2025

If you want to win at business, bringing your “A-Game” isn’t enough anymore. You have to be an A-Lister.

This isn’t Hollywood, of course. You don’t need the star power of Julia Roberts or George Clooney, but you must be a star in your field.

Top-tier. A cut above. Premier.

I know, I know . . . it can feel like a lot to ask of yourself, especially if you’re not one for the spotlight.

This isn’t about achieving celebrity status, but the right people should be asking for you by name.

Here’s what becoming an A-Lister in your field means:

  • You’ve established a reputation — for results!
  • You’ve created something people want, and they keep coming back for it.
  • You’re known as the go-to person for the thing you do.

Think about it. A-Listers don’t have to audition for roles anymore. Writers, directors, and producers had their names in mind from the earliest stages of a film.

A-Listers are bankable, considered a sure thing.

I want YOU to be the one who comes to mind – here’s what it takes:

  1. Identify the results you create. What is your best service, program, or strategy in your area of expertise?
  2. Nail your messaging about those results. Make it compelling.
  3. Get visible. Speak in person or online, or both. Let people see you!
  4. Establish authority. Write a book. Teach a course. Position yourself as the expert.
  5. Lift as you rise. Bring people up with you by coaching, mentoring, and collaborating.

Becoming an A-Lister is how your inbox fills with opportunities. It’s how you get the phone to ring. It’s the way to reach your goals and dreams.
