John—appreciate your comprehensive
view of this topic. These principles still hold trust on the other side
of the marketing fence (Sales). Trust means better professionals, and
it’s the true catalyst in any sales cycle.

That’s why companies are enabling
better customer connections and higher quality conversations with “collaboration
enabling technology.” More

Nice article. This should be understood carefully by every company owner. To be trusted is most important & is difficult. So, one should not commit fake if they will not be able to fulfill the promises made towards customers. Be loyal & provide best service. thanks for this blog.

In reply to Linda Schneider. It's a tough plan for many to stick with because it requires long term thinking - go for it!

Basically, your 5 “points that matter” give us a high-level business plan for creating an online presence. I’m working through each one to build my real estate coaching business. Thanks for reminding me to tell great stories! Sometimes I forget to keep it real amid all the technical “stuff.”

The old sales guru Tom Hopkins put it well, I thought, long before the days of social media and the internet, when he said that sales is a process of “trust, need, help, hurry”. Never works well to skip two or three steps!

Hi John,

Great post for recruiting mindfulness.

It all matters. Each comment. Each connection. Each moment we expand our presence. Everything has our signature on it, whether we pen one or not. The more trust-building we achieve by leaving favorable impressions on others the more our sphere of influence expands.

The more people see us making a positive impression, the more people trust us, and the more people will be happy to spread the word about us to their neighbors. Word of mouth marketing is a most powerful form of marketing because we trust what our buddies say more than anyone else.

Thanks for sharing your insight John.
