Have You Got The "Believe" Factor?
by Otoabasi Umonting Social Media Consultant
I believe you know how competitive the online industry is today. There are loads of businesses springing up almost everyday.
People are looking for better and more effective ways to leverage the internet for their business growth. Many have given up hope of trying, while some have held on.
I had little conversation recently on Facebook about credibility, and how one can gain it online. The final analyses of that was that credibility online can be built with time when one's more focused on adding value and helping others out.
But sadly, many are not doing that. There can be various reasons for this. The primary thing we have to look at when it comes to believing someone enough to join them or buy from them is the "intent". Are they really looking out for your good, or is it just another business transaction?
We live in a world where the people need attention more than anything, and if we want to retain our team or customers, we have to start listening, more than talking.
On my blog, I shared a few reasons why people don't not believe others enough to join their business.
I'll be streaming out more information as the days progress. My wish for you is continuous growth and success in your chosen line of business.
Sincerely,
Otoabasi Umonting

  Independent Associate with LegalShieldI hope people take a moment to read this one. You have just outlined the number one problem when it comes to internet marketing. The majority of Internet marketers do not see people when online, they see dollar signs. You have to get it out of your mind that everyone online is a 'sale'. See people as people and listen to them. We should be 'talking' half as much as we are listening. Dec 24th 2011 07:59 |

Social Media ConsultantThat's right Cheryl. The more we talk, the more we drive people away. The online business world is pretty much the same as the offline world, because we are dealing with real people, even though transactions are done digitally. It's time to focus on giving people what they want not what we think they want. Thanks for your comment. Dec 24th 2011 10:16 |
