What the marketing leaders above recognize is the absolute importance of perception, and how that perception is molded by credibility. They understand what many don’t: that building credibility, as a focused and programmed campaign, will net quicker results, higher-paying customers, and long-term loyalty.

What is the impetus behind your decision to make a purchase (whether it is a huge multimillion dollar corporate purchase or buying a big screen TV)?

What is it that attracts you enough that you decide to trust the product and bring it home or invest in it for your business? It is likely credibility. There was something that appealed to your sense of trust and you believed this product credibility factor over another.

Imagine picking up a book then seeing one of your favorite authors has endorsed it, or reading an article in a publication about a product you were interested in buying and someone well known, who you respect, is endorsing the product? This is instant credibility and the speed of credibility speeds the sale---you can sell more and quickly because the buying decision (based on trust) occurs faster..

So how can you build more trustworthiness (AKA credibility) into your product or company?

How can you firmly establish credibility so your product or company will stand above the competition or, even better, stand out as a benchmark of excellence?

Credibility Branding - Influencing the Influencers to Influence Your Customers

Years ago while working at several marketing agencies I realized that most companies really don’t have a strategic plan, or even a thorough comprehension of their target market. They are generally very sales focused meaning run by the sales staff, each with their own agenda for generating a sale; sometimes at any cost. A sales driven company is usually running by the seat of its pants and, while they can be successful, there is no roadmap as to where they are going or why, which will eventually limit sales potential.

In an effort to assist these companies to think like marketers and make marketing driven decisions (vs. sales driven decisions), I created a system that walked them through the steps of strategy. It offered tools and templates to:

  • Determine what to say, to which audiences, and when.
  • How to create messaging that will be embraced and believed by the market.
  • How to identify the influencers, when to engage them and how to use them.
  • Which customers to pursue at what stage of the product or corporate lifecycle
  • How to build a platform of credibility that will attract all key contacts (customers, partners, influencers).

This system became Credibility Branding, and is the foundation of my consulting practice working with large companies in technology and packaged goods as well as helping entrepreneurs to establish their marketing platforms and revenue building products.

The Credibility Branding model is also available for the first time as a report  "The Credibility Factor"  and "The Credibility Factor Workbook"
