    BAG THE ELEPHANT is NOT About Sales

    Sometimes when starting a new business we spend so much time designing the website, learning to effectively sell our product(s) or service(s) we lose focus on the most important aspect of business success; Your Credibility

    Allow me to first clarify my basic definition of credibility; it is your ability to exhibit honesty, knowledge, and dependability to your buyers, online, or through your neighborhood storefront.

    Unfortunately, potential customers do not always take the time to evaluate each element of your Credibility and make their decision on a single factor. For instance, most of us have clicked on a link only to be taken to a website which had mixed text, random clipart work, misspelled words, and bold red headlines indicating something like; BEST DEALS ON THE INTERNET! I know when I reach a site like that I “click-off” as quickly as I clicked on, never finding out if the owner is honest or dependable.

    Remember your parents telling you to dress and act nice when you are meeting someone for the first time. Why? because first impressions are important, the same goes for achieving success in your business. You can be an expert in your field, but if you or your assistant answers the phone from a new customer as if they interrupted your sleep, or flippantly reply to an email inquiry chances are you will lose the customer and never have the opportunity to demonstrate

    The Leadership Alignment Model
    Some time ago we had the privilege of working with a major UK government department to help them redefine leadership and to reappraise how they develop and encourage leaders. Faced with considerable challenges by the environment in which they operate and by their political master
    in your business. You can be an expert in your field, but if you or your assistant answers the phone from a new customer as if they interrupted your sleep, or flippantly reply to an email inquiry chances are you will lose the customer and never have the opportunity to demonstrate your expertise, or honesty.

    If your business goal is to become successful then evaluate your Credibility by asking yourself:

    • Is my website or storefront demonstrating a positive first impression of credibility

    • Do I, and my employees, continuously respond to customers in a professional manner

    • Are my products high quality, and my services dependable

    • Am I honest with my customers on price and services I can deliver

    • Do I have a way to measure how satisfied my customers are (If not you need one)

    • If I was one of my customers, would I be satisfied enough to recommend my business to others

    Remember, it is more expensive to get new customers, than to satisfy existing customers. Maintain your Credibility and your customers will come, more importantly they will stay your customer.
