In today’s show, we are putting Brittany Murphy in your passenger seat to discuss the concept of authority. When trouble strikes, everyone wants someone that they believe in to take care of the problem. We crave authority in our help whatever form it takes because authority instills trust into the relationship and the result. The home services industry is no different. Homeowners want a technician, plumber, or electrician who speaks and conducts business with the authority to accomplish whatever needs done. Lack of authority, wishy-washy behavior, lack of follow-through, and insecurity all cause problems with the client and the client experience. Now, this is no excuse to be an authoritarian and abuse the power, but it is to say that we need to TCOB (take care of business) when we are in the home. Authority in the marketplace is equally important. This authority comes in the form quantity and quality reviews. Google is the 800-lb gorilla and the more reviews you have, the more authority your company gains. Brittany Murphy is a marketing expert from One Thing Marketing and on today’s show, she takes the time to explain how and why authority matters in both environments.
