Trust Is A CATCH-22

Trust Is A CATCH-22 | Digital-News on Scoop.it today | Scoop.it

Creating trust onine is such a strange dance. The more you WANT trust the less you earn. Failure ot sell a big expensive itemon eBay brings the "trust and klout" economy to the front.

 

The tought lesson is we don't buy from those we don't trust and we don't trust anyone who wants to be trusted. How will we build trust? One careful step and service at a time.

Great Marketing Starts with Inside-Out Storytelling: Of Penguins and ...

Great Marketing Starts with Inside-Out Storytelling: Of Penguins and ... | Digital-News on Scoop.it today | Scoop.it
Who tell stories to the outside world about the heart and soul of a company and what it's really like? Employees are among an organization's greatest brand champions. If employees aren't happy, customers won't be, either.

 

I love this quick piece by Kathy Klotz-Guest full of sound wisdom. You can't tell effective biz stories in the marketplace if the culture of your company culture contradicts your stories. Why? Because stories build trust and if you are not 'walking your talk' you can't build trust.

 

The story shared in this post is a gem and perfectly illustrates the point of the article. I am sure I will be sharing this with my corporate clients so they really 'get it.'

 

It's great when marketing comes up with fab stories to share about the company's products/services. But the BEST kind of stories come from employees themselves. That's why the best business storytelling is from the 'inside out' as this article advocates.

 

No matter if you are a micro-entrepreneur or a mega enterprise -- the inside and outside gotta match.

 

Well of course, that begs the next question: how do we gather employee stories? I recommend getting a firm grasp of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a process and tool to help you evoke those stories. If you are a solo-preneur, asking yourself AI questions can be very illuminating. As an enteprise, AI will have casdacing positive effects on your culture. Google AI and you will be deluged with resources.

 

So get busy making sure your inside and outside stories match for the best biz storytelling experiences that lead to consistent growth and raving fans.
