We live in a world of
- fake news,
- fake political personas, would the real XYZ please come forward.
- fake health news – which Covid 19 news is correct?
- collapsing TRUST in the traditional pillars of western democracies – Parliament, Church, the Banking system – is a long list.
- fake reporting – the definition by the ABS that a person is employed if they work more than 1 hour a week – it does not pass the pub test.
It is unlikely to surprise you that Your Ideal New Buyers Start With – ‘I DON’T TRUST YOUR BUSINESS’.
A recent Harvard research found only 3% of technology buyers trusted the salesperson.
TRUST is now the key decision factor after price across all age brackets, gender, all countries and all income levels. www.Edelson.com
- Regardless of your industry, your current market share (leader or otherwise) TRUST is now critical to future growth.
Some examples of buyer thinking could be
Tourism – do I TRUST – I will get a better break at X location vs Y?
Forty Winks – who do I TRUST to buy a perfect night’s sleep?
Just Jeans – if I am Gen Z – do you use child labour to make your jeans? Is your manufacturing environmentally positive? How can I check?
Buying Groups, franchises – can I now trust you to deliver better opportunities and more profitability. Will you deliver the best practices that drive more growth?
Buyers now live in a constant crisis of trust – asking themselves every day which business do I trust more?
If you want to change who I buy from – first – change how you build trust with me.
Trust is the new currency of growth.
There are TRUST assets that buyers look for in a digital world.
How do you build TRUST?
1) It starts with being more human than your competitors.
2) It happens successfully on social media channels. (It is not about paid advertising)
3) You earn the right – to grow NEW subscribers, readers, followers, buyers.
4) It starts with being more visible and telling a bigger story about your business than just your products and services. (more tomorrow on this).
Every business exists to solve a problem and provide future opportunities.
- Nike opportunity – to be the BEST runner, wear Nike.
- Apple opportunity – to be SMARTER use Apple.
Nike tells a bigger story than just their products and services by focussing on elite performance and social issues of importance.
What is your bigger story of interest to your ideal new buyers?
Quick example; you’re a litigation funder.
