Building trust always has proven to be a very important step. How else is someone going to do the thing you want.

Thanks, I found this article useful Dawud when I was writing an article about building trust online.

1 factor that I found that seems to be different to the sources that you mention is the way some companies use extortionate pricing as a means of communicating they have a highly superior service/product offering.

That’s why I like that you have a picture of yourself here, so everyone can see who you are. It makes it very personal.

geld,
Yeah, exactly. So what if 1 + 1 still equaled 2?

Especially when you think about post rationalism before someone makes a decision. Together with having already a good relationship this makes 1+1=3!

Where 3 stands for a good transaction

keeping the relation close to your audience is the most important thing for those that are dependant on their audience. And that is ….in most of the cases

Yeah, we can use the technology to build relationships with each other – people meeting people.

I think it works very much like in the “real” world. The new if of the web, and now we are all humans again:-)

Dawud,

congratulations on being picked by the editor of blawgreview for inclusion in the Carnival of Trust. I didn’t know most of the trust references you cite here, so it’s very valuable to me.

Thanks for this fine content.

[...] Are You Building Trust With Your Target Audience? by Dawud Miracle Greg Balanko-Dickson and his article on this blog, Business Blogging Strategy: Build Trust and Rapport, saying: Let’s face it, people do business with people – not with businesses. A business owner may like, want and need something that a marketing coach, for instance, offers. But the single biggest reason they hire the firm is because of the people they meet, talk to and build relationships with. [...]

Ed,

Thanks. I’m really into blogging for the conversation and relationships. And building trust is a huge part of that.

Dylan,

It’s hard for me to believe that your target market isn’t online. My guess is that they’re either missing your site or missing your message – or both.

Personal Finance,

Thanks. I actually feel that business is almost always about building relationships. Maybe always, I just don’t like absolute statements.

Do you feel there are times when business is not based on relationship? Other than product/retail, of course.

Shonnie,

Absolutely. The businesses I’m personally drawn to most are those that are sincerely interested in me as a person. They want to solve my problems to make my life or business better, not just take dollars out of my wallet.

Even large companies, like Apple, fit the bill in that they’re interested in better, more efficient and enjoyable user experiences. I’m for that.
