The Most Important Business Strategy - Create Trust Featuring Guest David Horsager
01 Jan 2018
Do your customers trust you? Shep Hyken sits down with David Horsager, discussing the importance of trust and how gaining it from your customers is the most significant thing you can do. Top Takeaways: • Trust is a confident belief in a product or an organization. When there is confident belief, everything changes. When trust goes up, creativity and loyalty do as well. Cost and suspicion goes down. • When employees get treated properly, it trickles down and the customers feel that. • 8 pillars that hold up the trust edge: Without just one, you could lose trust. All 8 are necessary to gain trust. 1. Consistency – If you do something consistently, customers will come to expect you to do that, whether it be good or bad. 2. Clarity – People trust the clear, and mistrust the ambiguous. 3. Compassion – If customers believe they are cared about, they will trust you. 4. Character – Do what is right, not what is easy. 5. Competency – Stay fresh and relevant, and capable of being trusted. 6. Commitment – Companies that are trusted most are ones that stick with it. 7. Connection – How we connect and collaborate is vital. 8. Contribution – Trust comes to those who get results, those who perform.
