Trust is a two-way street


When trust exists, you don't have to "sell" anything; you don't have to talk people into doing things.  When you are a trusted provider who keeps the best interests of others in mind, you get the benefit of the doubt.  You get opportunities that other people never know about.   
In order to build trust, you must climb the "relationship depth chart." At the bottom of the chart, is rapport, which leads to the second level-a relationship. After that, trust blossoms, ultimately leading to an agreement, a deal or an opportunity. With each person you meet, start at the bottom of the relationship depth chart and work your way up.
Trust is a two-way street. Not only does it make your work easier, it frankly makes it worthwhile.  Put a premium on people around you.  Elite professionals are in business to serve others. Ordinary ones serve themselves.  You can learn more and follow Jeff Beals "Beals Motivation Blog" at www.JeffBeals.com
