5 Tips For Building Trust With Your List
If you are not interacting with your list, you are leaving a ton of money on the table!
People do business with whom there know and trust.
Pitching your business is not building rapport nor building trust.
I will outline below how to establish rapport and build trust with your leads.
1. Be honest – Keep it real, share your struggles, challenges and imperfections. It allows for an authentic connection because you are being you. People are turned off by individuals in which everything seems to be perfect because some may feel they can’t measure up.
2. Be Transparent– Showing the human side of who you are outside of what you do, allows your readers and followers to relate to you. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by posting videos and pictures of yourself so they can see who you really are.
3. Be Accessible– Using soical media is a great way to connect with your followers. Tweet with them, respond to their comments on facebook. Chat with them personally on skype or oovoo. Have multiple contact platforms where people can connect with you and feel that your are accessible.
4. Be humble– stay humble despite your successes. It’s okay to boast a little about your victories, but don’t make people feel less than. You don’t want to get overlooked because are overly boastful.
5. Be consistent – consistency proves to your followers that you are not a just a flighty marketer, but you are serious and in the game for the long haul. Remaining consistent in your marketing efforts positions your as such. Therefore, people will bookmark, share and continue to follow you.
Building trust and establishing rapport with your list is critical because these are the people that you will give value to, give free stuff to, plus share your products and services with. If you do not follow the principles laid out for you will find that many of them will unsubscribe or not buy because people do not do business with people they do not know.

Hey Daria,
another great post…
staying in touch with
the people on our list!!
hmmmm
I think one of the things
that really help people on our
list to get to know us, is to
stay in touch, but not too in touch
like Diane Hochman says , she only emails
her list when she has something of value
to share and for them to purchase!!
but yes, consistency always works and so does the video…:):)
thanks daria
pat
Yes ask them to purchase!

Hi Daria,
Great post! I agree with all your points. Your list is VALUABLE and I’m not sure why someone wouldn’t take care of the people on their list! These are people that will communicate with you and buy from you time and time again because you have built that trust.
