#InstantCred
30. When you don’t have credibility, clients say things like.
“It’s all good now.”
“That issue has faded in the last three months.”
They answer questions with questions.
“Can you tell me more about you?
Why should we work with you?”
No credibility- No traction!
#InstantCred
31. How Much Credibility?
Enough credibility until your client will answer the
questions you ask.
#InstantCred
32. Paths to Credibility
1. Shared Community
2. Professional Process and Protocol
3. Expertise, Experience, Knowledge
#InstantCred
33. Shared Community
1. Personal Connection- The Michigan lakes.
2. Referral (in this case from me)
3. Business connection- the two companies were already
familiar with each other.
#InstantCred
37. Meeting before the Meeting
• Meeting starts the moment you walk in the
building.
• Be deliberate. Have a list of logistical
questions to ask the receptionist. (How
many people work here?)
• Pay attention. Ask questions about what you
see that you are authentically curious
about.
• Disclose – It let’s them connect to you.
Disclosure invites disclosure.
