Today, writing emails has become a large part of modern business communication. We no longer use snail mail to send and receive letters and other important documents. We’re at a stage where email communication is used to promote your small business. We have started exchanging virtual business cards using email signature. What is an Email Signature? An email signature is a virtual card that is added at the end of the outgoing mail. The signature can be set up in your email settings and when you send your emails, this is automatically added at the end. Else you can use email signature software. What should Email Signature Contain? Remember that email signature is a way to promote your business. Apart from that, your signature should contain direct contact details so that your clients and potential customers can reach you without any hassles.

That was the recent findings of a study conducted by Maritz, a market research company. Only 10% of Americans believe the leaders of a company are honest and ethical, and 7% believe that senior managers have actions that match what they say. If that’s how employees feel, it’s likely that is how your customers also feel. That means you need to work on changing the customers perception of your company. Here are 5 things you must know about earning customer trust. 1. Do What You Say You Are Going to Do If your company does not keep the promises it makes, it is a huge turn-off for customers. This includes thing such as: Items that are grossly misrepresented – you know the “gotcha” part when you receive the invoice. The no fee scams – you find out after it’s packed with hidden fees

You will become a brand in the eyes of the customer whether you promote yourself or not, the only difference is rather than becoming a motivating, trustworthy brand you will likely be seen with indifference. 2. Design Considerations Whether it is your website or your store layout, the design can invoke credibility.

Learn How to Build Trust Quickly Posted by Puneet If you sales team is working hard, but you just can’t seem to generate the volume of sales you should, you’re probably looking at all kinds of methods to increase sales. Did you know it is all about trust? When sales aren’t completing, more likely than not, it’s because the customer doesn’t trust you or your organization. That means you need to learn how to build trust quickly. Salespeople who are successful have the ability to make customers feel like they are important, and they understand just how important it is to build trust with the customer. It really has little to do with how much you know about the product, or how well you can close – unless you can master how to build trust quickly, you will not get the sale. Once you establish trust with the customer, the hardest part is done, and getting the sale will get easier. Let’s look at building trust quickly. Adjust Yourself to the C

The Truth about Losing Customer Trust Posted by Puneet In the last decade or so, we have seen the demise of many companies as a result of shady deals or financial scandals. Companies like Enron, Fannie May, Arthur Anderson, and tons of others, as consumers lost trust in these organizations and what they were saying. After all, while on one hand, they were accepting government bailouts on the backs of Americans; while in the other hand they were giving management millions of dollars in bonuses, or flying CEO’s to remote vacation locations. As consumers learned about their indiscretions they no longer trusted them, and when a customer does not trust the company, the company will inevitably fail unless they can rebuild that trust. Rebuilding trust is much more difficult than establishing trust the first time. A new business has no history, and so they start with a clean slate to build trust. However, an existing business that loses trust no

A Guide to Understanding Why Customer Trust is Important Posted by Puneet When it comes to establishing your business and building strong customer relationships, trust is key. Each business owner has his/her own idea of how to make a business successful, and what’s important to that business, but the real glue to “every” business is building the trust relationship with your customers, because without it your business will fall apart. How to Build Trust You must earn trust. You will only build trust if you are trustworthy, and the customer can depend on you – in other words, you are reliable. If you focus on listening to your customer, you are open and honest, and you provide your customers with dependable products, you will build trust. Building trust is about being real and human. When you trustworthy you create trust – after all, the two go hand in hand. To create trustworthiness you must have strong values and character traits, be co

The key to closing a sale, has little to do with the product or price, and far more to do with whether the customer trusts you. Improve your sales by learning how to build trust with a potential customer. 1. Watch Your Body Language Your body language speaks much louder than your actual words. Uncross your arms, uncross your legs, smile, and show your palms. Watch your facial expressions, your muscle tension, and your repetitive motions (tapping your pen). Develop a keen sense of what your body is saying, and learn to create an inviting, positive, body language that will leave your potential customer feeling like they can trust you. 2. Always Make Eye Contact Make sure you are engaging your potential customer using eye contact. You will not be received favorably if you are looking elsewhere

© 2011 Apptivo Inc. All rights reserved. Best Practices for Earning Trust for Your Business Posted by Puneet Trust in a business can be a bit like a stock market with highs and lows. Currently the business world is seeing some of the lowest trust numbers ever. Why is this? In part, it can be linked to the bailouts of big business, when individuals themselves struggle. To have longevity for your business, you must have trust from your customers, regardless of the products or services you offer. This is more important now, in the current economic climate than ever before. Let’s have a look at best practices for earning trust for your business. 1. Offer your customers the best possible customer service each and every time. Ensure your staff is trained in how to “always” give the customer the best customer service possible, even if you cannot give them the answer they want.
