In your ascent to building a great business, you’ve got to learn how to earn respect and trust from people quickly. 

If you don’t command trust and respect from someone early on, they’re gone. You’ve got anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to make or break it – and knowing how to establish trust is one of the most nerve-wracking things for a salesperson and a leader.

You’re nervous, they’re skeptical – and it only takes seconds to make a judgment. 

That creates the perfect storm to fail… And now you won’t, not after you read this. 

7 Ways to Earn Respect and Trust

Here are 7 ways to earn trust that will work in any situation, at any time. 

1. Go into their world first.

Don’t immediately try to sell them something. Go into their world and show that you’re interested by asking lots of questions. By doing this, you’re creating an environment in which they can trust you.

2. Spend time acknowledging them.

Don’t blow smoke, because people know when that’s happening. Instead, be sincere. Always remember your body language and facial expressions. Faking it will never work, so acknowledge people from the heart. 

3. Earn the right. 

People want to know why they should listen to you, and why they should trust you – so you’ve got to earn the right. You can do that by establishing your credibility early on and sharing the honest reason as to why you’re there. This allows people to get to know you through transparency. 

4. Ask for permission. 

Always preface anything new by asking for permission. It’s common courtesy, and that courtesy will register within people’s heads. 

5. Be honest and vulnerable. 

Don’t pretend you’re someone that you’re not – be 100% honest and 100% vulnerable at all times.

6. Never, ever trash a competitor.

All this does is send the message that you’re a complainer. Use responsible language instead of blaming others and making excuses. 

7. Make agreements for the purpose of keeping that agreement later.

Now, that person sees you did what you said you were going to do. You’re building a track record that says you keep your promises. This sets you apart from everyone else and earns you respect. 

There should be no reason why your nervousness prevents you from making a sale. And there should be no reason why it prevents people from seeing the real you, because at the end of the day, that’s what people want to see. 

Establish the trust and respect that you deserve. Go out there and be amazing.

It takes conscious effort to follow each of the 7 ways to establish trust and respect. There is always this little voice inside your head that is telling you to do otherwise.

You can choose to be the master of that Little Voice inside you that casts doubt and makes you question yourself.

If you want to start, grow, or scale a business, this could be the most important article you read this year. These are tricky details that have the potential to trip you up and cause a lot of struggle when starting, building, and scaling a business. 

Let me put it to you straight. 

If you avoid the 8 points below, you will have even more control over your outcome, be better able to achieve your goals, and be admired by your friends, family, and peers as they watch you ascend into your own personal greatness. 

What’s more… 

If you ignore these details, you might find yourself under the thumb of your business, find it difficult (or impossible) to achieve your goals, and you might find resistance and discouragement from your friends and family as your peers laugh at you behind your back.

8 Things You Should NOT Do To Start, Grow, or Scale a Business.

1. Don’t be a person that has no ‘why.’ 

You need to have a great reason as to why you want to create your business. If you’re getting your business started in order to be financially free – that’s a good reason. It shouldn’t be your only reason, however. 

2. Don’t go in without a plan.

Having a goal, wish, or a vision isn’t the same thing as having a plan. These things provide a mission to get excited about, but you need a roadmap detailing how you’re going to get there.

3. Don’t be without advisors. 

Advisors are people to converse with who have expertise in an area relevant to you. You are not an island – the thought that you’ve got to do everything on your own will stop you from reaching out for support, and that’s something you cannot do. 

4. Don’t avoid being a student. 

Have a student mindset. Research all that you can. You don’t have to be an expert, but you should be excited over what you’re doing business about. 

5. Don’t begin without an idea of how to scale your business. 

From the very beginning, you should have an idea on how to see as much growth as possible without collapse. 

6. Don’t be averse to being on a team. 

You need to start with a team. Take on a project that there’s no way you can do it by yourself. If you’re not a team player, become one. In order to be an entrepreneur, this is something you need to do.

7. Don’t avoid making mistakes.

There are times that you will be embarrassed, make mistakes, and times when you’ll need to change quickly. You have to learn to develop a thick skin and roll with the punches. Keep moving, don’t stop and contemplate your mistake – just continue your upward track. 

8. Never consider quitting as your first option. 

If quitting is your first option, it becomes a habit. Once you start confronting hardships instead of running away from them, you’re going to get superb at that confrontation. 

At the end of the day, if you can avoid these 8 ‘don’ts,’ you will become the person you want to become, whether your business succeeds or fails. 

You will also gain more control over your outcomes, rather than being controlled by external forces. 

Plus… you just might find yourself as an authority in your space. Imagine people looking up to you as a pillar of success and security. Let’s face it, it beats the alternative. 

[wbcr_php_snippet id=”43183″]

Before you go any farther, be honest with yourself as I ask you a couple of questions… 

Does money elude you? Is Success a fleeting wish? 

Are you still waiting for a “breakthrough” in your life?

Would you feel uncomfortable if you suddenly became rich and famous?

If you said, “Yes” to any of those questions, the Self-Sabotage Eliminator can help you eliminate any subconscious problems in your life that interfere with you attaining your long-standing goals in minutes…

… For good.

Here are 6 things you should never do if you want to win – in every sense of the word. 

1. Never tell your mentor: “I know that.” 

If someone is taking the time to show you the ropes, they’ve clearly got the experience it takes to do that. To this person, you should never say, “I know that” or “I’ve tried that” in regards to something they’re trying to teach you. Even if you actually have tried what they’re suggesting and it didn’t work, you still need to take the time to listen. 

Hear it differently this time. Ask questions. Be open and receptive so you can get new ideas, be included in great investments, and be a part of great opportunities. 

2. Wait 60 seconds to respond to something upsetting.

If you can wait longer than 60 seconds, that’s ideal. If you don’t respond right away, you’ll find that your quality of response will be 100 times better. If you respond right away, your emotions are high and your intelligence is low.

3. Never gossip about other people. 

No matter who you’re with or if you think you’re safe, don’t do it. In sales, we’re taught never to trash our competition to a customer because doing so is in poor taste. Not only that – what goes around comes around.

The second reason not to trash others is because putting others down is no way to build yourself up. 

If you avoid talking poorly about others, you become someone that people trust with confidential information. 

4. Don’t compare yourself to others. 

By comparing yourself, you cut your energy and effectiveness in half because you’re focusing on what another party is doing and letting their actions guide your decisions. 

Remember that there’s no one out there like you, no one with exactly your experience.

You need to spend time learning to like yourself and building your self-esteem. Comparing your wealth, your position, your effectiveness… all of those things will kill you.

5. Never let someone else determine your mood. 

There’s only one person that can make you feel bad, and that’s you. If you believe the bad things that people say about you, that’s on you. It can be hard not to take these things to heart, but it’s a skill that you have to learn. 

You’re the one who manufactures your mood. 

6. Never make a sizable investment for a brochure or an ad. 

Make sure to have due diligence. Get experience with whoever you’re buying from and look into what they do. Get a referral. Don’t go into something blindly just because an ad looks enticing.

Wait.

No matter how much you follow the tips I have, things will not always be a walk in the park.

There are times when you think you can’t do it. You are sabotaging yourself.
