Tips for earning customer trust.

Being consistent is a prerequisite for building and earning customer trust.

In business, consistency can help build confidence in your business and is your key secret to earning customer trust.

 

<>
We often tell people they don’t have to be perfect to be a great leader.
But some elements must be on par when building  and earning customer trust.

Consistency involves committing to your objectives and persisting in your efforts to attain your goals. This is a great way of developing good business character and is an important goal in business! 

– To achieve a thriving and joyful business, it is crucial to cultivate a strong and ethical business character.

  • Part of building our own ethics in business is staying consistent in pursuing our goals. It takes dedication and commitment, but I believe that we can achieve anything we set our minds to with perseverance.

Success demands steadfast dedication and frequent repetition of actions to achieve your objectives.

  •  Working in sync is both a physical task and a state of mind.

It’s not the crisis that people remember the most, but how we handled the situation and treated those around us during those difficult times. 

  • I truly believe this statement holds a lot of weight when describing who we are as individuals. Recognizing and appreciating the qualities that make us and our businesses unique is important.
  • Consistency allows you to establish outreach and trust and provide services effectively and profitably.
  • Being consistent helps you achieve your goals, establish habits, and helps to show others that you are trustworthy.
  • Being consistent helps to build habits you want to grow.

Consistency in your daily work helps you succeed in your business, similar to how consistency in physical exercise keeps you in shape.

  • Your constant show of honesty and integrity does earn others’ trust and respect. That is what you like and want!
  • This means that your honesty and integrity influence the way others see and trust you.
  • Take time to listen to them and engage. Helping to encourage others in doing great things.
  • Showing your interest does help inspire people to step up.
  • Keeping your promises shows others that you respect them and also what you expect of them.
    • They are more likely to treat you respectfully, developing additional confidence Read more

What Is It About James Clear’ Atomic Habits?

Forming New Success Habits With James Clear’s Atomic Behavior

      • I’ve read that James Clear considers himself an author who focuses on routines, judgment calls, and ongoing self-improvement. Beyond this, he pursues unrelated activities in which he tests out his theories.

Indeed, I love routines and enjoy my daily structure. 

What’s the difference?

  • Above all, daily structure refers to planning out the events and activities of your day in advance. 

This involves setting aside time every evening to plan activities for the upcoming day. Read more

Benefits are the reason why your customers care about that feature. Or how that feature improves their quality of life. Clients understand what features explain, while benefits explain why.

Want Value Over Features? What’s In It For Them? 

Let’s talk about features over benefits and how to highlight your products’ value. Marketing is all about knowing what matters. Remember that only a specific group of your clients is interested in the bells and whistles you offer.

  • What your clients want is a simple, quick solution to their problems. All they want to know is what’s in it for them. What will the product or service they’re buying do for them? If you can tap into that and answer that question, it’s easy to turn an interested prospect into a client. 

The best way to illustrate this might be an example. Let’s say you are in the market for a new blender. What do you care about? 

  • Features: The size of the motor, how fast the blades spin, or what fancy material they are made of. 
  • Benefits: Do you care about making smoother smoothies more quickly and being able to blend just about anything without having to worry about dulling the blades? It’s the benefits here that your clients will be more interested in. They know how the blender is going to work for them, and they can make almost anything in this blender. 

Features are excellent, but what you care about are the benefits you get from those features. 

  • Keep this in mind as you create content, product descriptions, sales pages, emails, and marketing material.

Your business may seem overwhelmed by constant change, and you may feel frustrated with the lack of results.


Many small to medium size business owners – even large corporations – find it challenging to properly reach their fans and ideal audience and struggle to measure accurate monetary results from their marketing efforts.

#1 Mistake – No business plan – Does that sound familiar to you? 

It sounds like how I started. I didn’t think I’d ever catch on, and then I finally figured out my mistakes and how I would help others with their blogging and coach them to help them reach their business goals.

  • I went networking three times a week for a year or more and learned who my niche was and what they needed. I gave presentations at the meetings and got better at training. 
    • I did get 20 people to sign up for my coaching group and discovered I loved helping the right people! People I wanted to help and people who liked what I could help them with.
    • But it took me a while to figure that out. I had to change how I talked to my ideal audience one-to-one and in my presentations.
    • I started thinking about my plan and goals.

Why Use Audio And Video Messages

Are You Missing Out?

Sharing content is great, but if you’re relying solely on the written word and static images, you’re missing out on chances to build trust with your potential and existing customers. We are social creatures created to pay attention to audible and visual clues to help us get to know someone better. There’s power in using audio and video. They are great tools that will generate trust like nothing else.Helping you connect with your audience and help them feel the emotion.

What do you think your podcast could/would do for your brand when you dream big?

You’ll always focus on creating audience-appealing content. Podcasting and audience appeal is an excellent way to increase your conversions!

I know you’ve heard that your audience has to know, like, and trust you before they will consider becoming paying customers. They get to know you through your written content and social media presence. 

  • They may like what you have to offer and what you’re sharing and may even be impressed by your expertise. But earning enough trust to pull out that wallet and make a purchase from you can be tricky. That’s where your face and your voice come in.

We pick up many clues when we hear someone’s voice and even more when we see them speak. 

That’s why audio and video messages are so important in your marketing. Don’t be afraid to use them. 

     Start with audio if a video is intimidating. You can start your own podcast or offer to become a guest on other people’s episodes. Read more

What is the function of having a clear sales message?

Have you checked your informational content messaging to ensure you share what your audience is searching for and want to see?

How is your content and messaging influencing your audience to want more?

  • Take a minute to fine-tune and modify to ensure each piece of your sales funnel is on point. I know, that’s easier stated than done.
  • It can be tough to objectively check your creations and see what’s functioning and what isn’t.
    • When creating your sales page or a whole sales funnel, it’s always excellent to double-check your data.
      • Ex: Is your ideal audience engaging, and are you seeing conversions as anticipated? Otherwise, there’s something off.
    • See if you can determine what it is. Make your adjustments and examine once again. Did the numbers improve? Make notes of any adjustments and develop your messaging based on what seems more attractive to your audience.
  • One option is to have somebody audit your content sales messages. Preferably this will be someone who represents your perfect target market. Locate a good friend, coworker, or perhaps an existing customer you have a relationship with to check through it and provide feedback.
    • What made good sense?
    • What didn’t make good sense?
    • Look for anything in your content that made them not want to purchase or even sign up for your free offer.

Bear with me here:

Your blog and social media are valuable tools to use in helping strengthen your brand and reach out to potential audiences.

But before I jump into the details, let me say this…

We all want to get found online, great then what?

  • The goal is to: Convert your blog visitors that are coming over from social media.

nurture your market, convert, list building, email marketingLet’s talk about that, as a result, you can and must have content that speaks to your ideal audience about how you can help so that they don’t have to spend time trying to figure it out on their own. You are there for them and your content from your blog and social media talks about this just for the.

      • I’m talking about using your content to attract and grow your email marketing, which can be profitable for anybody, no matter what kind of product or service you offer.

But building your list, which is the foundation of email marketing and your business success is in the quality and size of that list.

And this takes a lot of consistent content – podcasts, posts, videos, newsletters, free offers that help them fix their issues; along with building relationships through social media, blogging, and consistent contacts through your emails.

  • Because your goal is to build a list of subscribers that trust you and consider you an expert in your field! Then your response rates will constantly climb – helping you have more clients, more business, and more fun.

You probably are creating content to help share and grow your business. Some of your content seems to attract your niche and because of that, it’s a lot more effective in helping to grow your email list as your niche sees the ideal freebie to fix their problem and want to download it as they get into your business more – which means more interest in what you do and offer that can help your audience want to get more involved with how you can help them.

But whatever type of content you put out to your audience, you’ll want a certain purpose, for your ideal audience (your niche), and have a goal in mind of where you’ll be leading them.

And you’ll want to do it efficiently with a theme in mind which helps determine what your goals will be for the week, the month, the quarter…
