Likes UP: “Know-Like-Trust” Factor

Know-Like-Trust Factor runs much deeper than you are probably aware of.When you don’t like or trust someone, you probably don’t feel comfortable giving them your money and putting yourself in their hands no matter what the product or service is. We like to give business to those people we like and those we trust and have a sense that we know. Simple as that.

You circle of influence is your current and former colleagues, family and friends; people already in your life. Now, that being said, we have a greater likelihood of attracting lots of new clients and referrals from those who already know us, like us and trust us.

People who know us, like us and trust us automatically become ADVOCATES for us. They give is a verbal or silent “LIKES UP”!!!

These people can attest to you as a reliable person and can probably rave about your services if they’ve experienced them. Reputation starts with liking.

This is extremely valuable and should not be overlooked when building your business and setting out to attract new clients through networking. Liking is a people business.
