From the Back Cover....
Trust is the basis for all relationships.
This book will help you:
- Tell the truth. This is the number one element of trust AND relationships.
- Do what you say you will do. This is a test for being trustworthy and reliable.
- Communicate in a timely manner. This shows you are responsible, on top of it, and that you care.
- Bring value beyond your product or service. What you do to help others be more successful is a true reflection of your character.
- Be on time. Being on time shows you respect the other person’s time.
- Be friendly. Smiling people are the gateway to open communication.
- Be sincere. This can only come from belief in what you do, loving what you do, and caring for others.
- Show and say genuine thanks. Be grateful for the opportunity to be of service.
- Be consistent. I believe this element of trust is the most difficult to master because it combines all the other elements.
- Give trust. You become trustworthy by giving trust.
