Six principles to build trust and generate advocacy:

 

1.    KNOW ME

·         Gauge my readiness to learn and understand in this moment.

 

And I will feel rewarded and recognized for being a valued customer!

 

 

2.    TALK TO ME

·         Calibrate your language to talk to me on my level.

·         Don’t confuse me with tech-jargon that I don’t understand.

·         Be straightforward; tell me the truth.

3.    SHOW ME YOU OWN IT
