Trust-based relationships
I typed ‘Sales' into 'youtube' the other day just to see what was on offer. I have to say that some of the initial videos displayed on the front page were very disappointing indeed, especially when it came to building trust-based relationships with clients.

Building Trust Results in Customer Loyalty
Dr. Chris Hart recently spoke at the Better Business Bureau’s Excellence in Customer Service Award Dinner. Dr. Hart gave an excellent presentation that clearly expressed how building trust results in customer loyalty, which results in more profitable customers and a greater chance for marketing and sales success.

The Strategic Importance of Trust In Business, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
In the world of business today, trust is more important than ever, especially when it comes to your relationships with your clients, customers, employees, and all stakeholders in your business. But what do we mean by “trust.” Webster’s dictionary defines trust as the “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.” Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach believes that trust is right at the foundation of the survival and success of any business. Without trust there can be no sustainable business. Trust is a strategically critical issue in any type of relationship because a relationship without trust is not really a relationship at all. There are several levels of trust and I have chosen five (5) to present in this article.?
How to Build Trust & Develop Relationships with Clients and Employees That Last a Lifetime
When it comes to customer loyalty, nothing is more important than the trust. Touch on the four ways of building trust, gaining loyalty and retaining employees.

Build Customers’ Trust in You by Listening and Learning
Customers trust humble (“teachable”) salespeople. Customers don’t shop price with salespeople they trust. Salespeople build trust by listening and sincerely wanting to learn about the customer.

A Matter of Trust
Trust is the basis for all successful leaders and all successful relationships for that matter. You cannot buy trust, but it is free. Trust is priceless yet can be earned over time. Have you ever tried to request someone’s trust? Maybe it was a team member, customer or a colleague. You may have wanted a decision to be made in your favor. To overcome some initial disagreement and expedite the decision making process, you might resort to “Hey, just trust me!” That statement is worthless. Either the other party already trusted you based on your past actions or they did not trust you and your request won’t change that. Trust is not spoken, it is demonstrated. Trust cannot be requested, it must be earned.

Ten Hallmarks of a High Trust Organization
We tend to think of trust in one dimension, but there are several different ways trust plays out in organizations. My favorite definition of trust is that when I trust someone, it means I believe he or she will always do what is thought to be in my best interest (even if I do not particularly appreciate it at the time). We can contrast some dimensions of trust by considering what it is like to work in an organization with high trust versus one with low trust on several dimensions

How confident are you at selling, really?
As a (willing) potential customer I want to trust you and believe in what you are saying and that you will deliver on your promise. You can make the odd mistake here-and-there, because if I trust you it's not a deal breaker-I know you will be the first person to bring it to my attention. You can sell the best product or service in town, but if your salespeople fail to install belief, build trust and deliver on their promises, the success of your business is limited, if not ultimately removed.

Business Integrity
Most of my professional work is on the topic of trust. I had a recent experience with two different contractors bidding on a chimney-cleaning job in my home that taught me some useful lessons on the link between good customer service and trust. This article is the story of an amazing contrast on the subject of customer service.

Degrees of Trust
Trust is an interesting word. We tend to think of it as a singular concept, like how much do I trust my boss at the moment. I believe there are numerous different types of trust in our lives, and in any trust situation, there are infinite levels of trust. That complexity is one of the reasons why high trust is hard to find in many organizations.
