By screaming with a megaphone, I can get the attention of a thousand people. Trust is different.

You build trust, one person at a time.

Trust requires creating a relationship slowly with a small number of people.

You have to do more listening. Success no longer comes from amplification. It happens through understanding, empathy, and sensitivity.

Marketing is no longer a game of shouting at thousands or millions.

It is about ways to build relationships with a smaller group of people who you can serve. Gaining their trust and delivering value.

It is about serving a segment, not everyone.

Building Blocks

Reliability. Authenticity. Confidence. Credence. Faith. Service. Understanding. Awareness. Empathy. Compassion.

Is your marketing built on these principles?
