It's a well-known fact. People tend to hire people that they know, like and TRUST. Are you building a reputation as a business that is trustworthy with your community?
I recently read an article about how a company increased their level of trust by over 30% with their clients and prospects by including a brief statement in their marketing. Curious as to what that statement was?
Here's a snippet of the article:

Hi Flloyd, thanks for stopping by and commenting! I really appreciate it! It’s a great reminder for all of us, as service-based business owners, how important it is to continue building trust with our community!
Best, Annemarie
Thnx Annemarie, your article and video shows again – Social Media´s goal is to build a real tribe and that is based on trust. Amazing work you do on your platform!
I shared your video and your web site on my site – if it is ok for you. ( http://luciasanders.wordpress.com and http://antlanticnews.wordpress.com )
Hi Lucia, thanks for stopping by – I appreciate your comments. I totally agree with you – social media’s goal IS to build relationships built on trust – that’s so very important. People recommend and work with people they know, like and trust – so it’s something as business owners we should all be striving for!
Hi Lucia, thank you!
Just one short sentence – amazing isn’t it.
Of course it’s very important that your actions (interactions) align with the words/promise s being made – otherwise they are just empty promises and it wouldn’t be long before word got around that they ‘weren’t trustworthy and able to do the job’.
A huge lesson for us as business owners to walk our talk as we continue to build strong relationships with our community/tribes.
I love how simple this notion is. Essentially, you’re just telling them what you want them to do. It’s like a subtle call to action…but more suggesting than asking.
I’ve shared this post with my followers and asked them to experiment on their websites…very curious to see the results 😉
Hi Kathy, it’ll be very interesting to see the results for sure!
I think what’s really important is that as business owners we walk the talk. If we promise to ‘do the job properly’ – then the job HAS to be done properly. Otherwise word would soon spread NOT to trust that company. A colleague of mine had a recent experience with a rental car firm. They didn’t live up to their slogan AND has lost a long-term customer.
