Trust Me TwoWays to Earn It!

by Brian Basilico on February 13, 2013in Crowdsourcing, EMail Marketing,

Facebook, LinkedIn, Marketing Tips and

Tools, Networking, Social Media, SocialNetworking, Twitter, Websites

Trust is not something you can buy, ne

gotiate, or or circumvent. It has to beearned. Once earned, it has to be nurtured, maintained and re-earned with

every transaction, interaction, and reaction.

So you may get people to KNOW you,

and they may even LIKE you aer a certain amount of time, but getting them to

TRUST YOU is usually a arduous task.

It takes time, communication, and usually some interpersonal interaction.

Trust can be primarily earned in two dis

tinct ways. First, by working with a person in a one-on-one or group level. is

group or person has to have some prede

ned task that is expected of you. Youhave to meet or exceed expectations. e

second way is through referrals, testimonials, and some other rst hand experi

ence with you, and your products, orservices.

1) ExceedingExpectations

Working with clients and giving themover and above customer service is a

sure re way create a referral machine.

When you exceed expectations, and helpthem realize the true value proposition

of what you have to offer, they are certain to share your contact information

when somebody asks Do you knowanybody who can.

As a marketing company, our valueproposition is this, Marketing should

always be an investment, and never anexpense. If you spend $100, you should

make $300 $100 to cover the marketing costs, $100 for your time and invest

ment, and $100 prot. If we dont see an

opportunity for three times return on investment, then we should not do the

project.. Now, I cant always guarantee a3 to 1 return on investment, but it sets us

apart from the competition. Its hard tohelp those that dont want to be active

and participate in the process. Again,

thats not what we offer. I tell customers

that We are in the business of makingyou more money!.

ere have been some projects thatcould not live up to that offer, but many

more times weve made clients 3 to 1, 5to 1, 10 to 1, and even 25 to 1 or more in

prots. You can bet that those customers

are my best sales force.

2) Testimonials &Reviews

at leads me to second way to obtaintrust. is is through recommendations

and reviews. Nothing is more powerfulin a Google or LinkedIn search than

positive, glowing reviews of your business and your work. Reputation management can be an arduous task, but its part

of the new reality in this Google Search For It world.

Recently, LinkedIn had started some

thing call Endorse Me to create more interaction with users. is is not the same

as a recommendation. A recommenda

tion is a heartfelt testimonial of yourbusiness. If you need some more recom

mendations, its not offensive to ask forthem from connections that you have ac

tually done business with on LinkedIn.Just be prepared to reciprocate with a

positive review for them as well.

Positive reviews on Google, Yelp, Mer

chant Circle, Yahoo Local and others,can be one of the most convincing tools

for people to trust you enough to pick upthe phone to call you, or visit your website and ll out a request form, or send

you an email. ink about being on theother end of that transaction. Do you

read reviews before purchasing a product or service? Most of us do.

I have been asked more than once abouthow to deal with a negative review. ere

are no phone numbers to call and dis

pute with Google, and few websites havesystem in place to let you deal with

them. e only way to meet a bad reviewhead on is get tons more of positive ones

that push it further and further down thelist of reviews. One bad review with

three good ones can create an aura ofconcern for potential customers. Onebad one with a hundred good ones, will

certainly drown the lone bad one out!

Ask for reviews and recommendations.Manage them, nurture them, and most

certainly, be aware of them. ey are

your biggest asset in building trust with

those who are just getting to know aboutyou, your products and/or services!

Finaloughts?

So what have you done to build trust

with clients or potential customers?Share some of your ideas or experiences

Job Advice withSheryl Krase

Statistics show that approximately 50percent of mid-sized companies and al

most all large corporations use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to screen

candidates for job opportunities.

ere are a variety of reasons recruiters

and hiring managers adopt this type oftechnology. With an ATS in place, hu

man resources departments can automate and store hiring documents online

so HR professionals never have to worryabout siing through stacks of paperwork or hundreds of emails to nd what

they need.

Colin Day, the founder and chief executive officer of iCIMS, Inc., a provider of

talent acquisition soware for growingbusinesses, is in an excellent position to

advise job seekers on how to maximize

their online applications. Here are Day'stop suggestions for getting the most visi

bility out of your online application:

1. oroughly read job descriptions.Most recruiters will tell you a big pet

peeve is hearing from job seekers who

apply even if they aren't qualied for thejob. Take the time to understand exactly

what the company expects from applicants for jobs that interest you; do not ig

nore the detailed description of what thejob entails. "ATS technologies can lter

candidates by those whose responses

dovetail best with specic job descriptions. For the best response rates, make

sure your content and experience matchup accordingly," Day says.

2. Create an original cover letter. If the

company asks for acover letter, be sure toinclude one. Make sure to write one spe

cic to your accomplishments and skillsand one that addresses the job descrip

tion properly. Go a step further and

mention how you will use that knowledge and those skills on the job. Avoid

sending out a generic, run-of-the-millcover letter. "Despite the cover letter be

ing digital, it's oen the rst thing recruiters read when viewing candidate

proleseven ahead of the resume,"

Day explains. "Use the cover letter as an

opportunity to showcase your personality, qualications, and desire for the job."

3. Identify key words and tailor your re

sume. Take your time and look over

your resume. Find the key words in thejob description and make sure you indicate how your accomplishments address

those requirements. Be sure to customize your resume and/or cover letter

slightly to each specic job.

4. Make sure your responses are on tar

get and error free."With paper applications, poorly written submissions can be

tossed in the 'circular

le,' never to beseen again," Day says. "But with digital

applications, error-laden content lives onat that company, potentially hurting your

chances for a relationship with the employer in the future as well." is is a

scary thought, but one that should moti

vate you to triple-check your content forspelling, content, and grammar. Addi

tionally, Day suggests you make sure allof your information is completely spelled

o u t i n o t h e r w o r d s , a v o i dabbreviations. In many cases, abbreviations that may be understood readily by

the hiring managers are not familiar tothe rst-line recruiters.

5. Maintain one candidate prole per

company. Once you apply to a companythat uses an ATS, the organization saves

your personal information. While you

should tailor your resume and/or coverletter for each job submission, maintain

one master prole for all of your applications for that company. "Multiple proles

in one company's system can cause confusion," Day says. "By only submitting

one prole per company, you can elimi

nate the odds of the wrong prole beingdisqualied by a rst-line recruiter."

Next week we will focus in Interviewing

Techniques. Happy Hunting!

How to ImproveCurb Appeal byKristine Heiman

With the coming spring season, now is

the time to think about what you need

to do to get your home ready for the

upcoming selling season. Spring is tra

ditionally busy for us Real Estate agents

and for those who want to sell theirhomes as well. Following some of these

simple exercises can help you improve

the value of your home and make it

marketable.

Curb Appeal Exercise

e next time you come home, stop

across the street or far enough down thedriveway to get a good view of the house

and its surroundings.

1. What is your rst impression of the

house and yard area?

2. What are the best exterior features ofthe house or lot? How can you enhance

them?

3. What are the worst exterior features of

the house or lot? How can you minimizeor improve them?

Park where a potential buyer would and

walk towards the house. Look around asif it were your rst visit. Is the approach

clean and tidy? What could you do to

make it more attractive?

Take photos of the homes exterior. If youhave a digital camera, view the color ver

sions rst, then remove the color and

look at it in black and white, because it's

easier to see problems when color isn'taround to affect our senses.

Make a list of the problem areas you dis

covered. Tackle clean up and repair

chores rst, then put some time intoprojects that make the grounds more at

tractive.

Kill mold and mildew on the house,sidewalks, roof, or driveway.

Stow away unnecessary garden imple

ments and tools.

Clean windows and gutters.

Pressure wash dirty siding and dingy

decks.

Edge sidewalks and remove vegetation

growing between concrete or bricks.

Mow the lawn. Get rid of weeds.

Rake and dispose of leaves, even if yourlot is wooded.

Trim tree limbs that are near or touch

ing the home's roof.

Don't Forget the Rear View

Buyers doing a drive by will try their

best to see your back yard. If it's visible

from another street or from someone'sdriveway, include it in your curb appeal

efforts.

Health Corner with Christina Dennis-Riforgiate

Sinking your feet into a pool of warm,

bubbly water may be relaxing. But did

you know that bacteria can be intro

duced into your bath, thanks to the pipesthat carry the water?

Avoid soaking in someone elses bacteriaby being picky about your foot bath.

Some spas use pipe-less pedicure chairs,which reduce the area in which bacteria

can hide. Opt for easy-to-clean individu

al buckets or bowls. Before you bookyour service, ask the spa which type of

basin it uses. And remember, regardlessof basin type, the technicians should still

clean between each client.

When booking your appointment, make

sure to mention if youre a diabetic, andask if they have a trained pedicurist (like

a medical nail technician) that does diabetic pedicures. ese specialists know

to be gentle, the dos and donts, and willpoint out to you any wounds or other

symptoms that they notice while helping

you. Safety is a prime concern, and its agood idea to ensure that you get pedi

cures with someone experienced.

Take the Right Steps

You should wash and inspect your feet

daily. Turn the chore into a treat.1. Wash: Clean feet are healthy, so

perform this task dailynot just for apedicure.

2. Exfoliate: Get rid of the dry skinthat prevents full moisture absorption.

3. Moisturize: Rub a thick moisturiz

er into feet, avoiding the area betweentoes.

4. Clip: Cut toenails straight acrossto prevent ingrown nails.

5. Soen: Stop cuticles from cracking by rubbing them with soothing oil.

6. Polish: Go ahead, have fun!

Patient Advocacy By SharonPointer

Patient Advocacy-Self Awareness

Who can speak to your insurance company or provider regarding your health

benet issues? It may seem difficult tond someone to address questions for

services listed on your EOB (explanationof benets) or your hospital charges.

e best advocate that you can have isYOURSELF. Today, we have so many

tools available for patients to advocatefor themselves. Listed below are some of

the tools that are available:

Assistance with medications

Free or low-cost diabetic supplies

Free seminars provided by your local

hospitals

Free information and tools through

WebMD.com and other websites dedicated to assisting patients

Free assistance in understanding the

ABCs of reading your EOB and hospital

bills

Assistance with hospital bills for thoseon xed income or low income

ese are just a few of the tools that areavailable to you. Have you ever gotten a

bill from your doctor that immediatelyshocked you? I have been there, did that.

Myrst reaction was what does this allmean and how am I going to pay these

bills?

Your rst thought may be to jump into

panic mode. But if you understand theprocess and the items on the bill, you are

better equipped to empower yourself

with the tools needed to resolve themedical bills. Your health care provider

takes care of your health issues. ey billyour insurance company for reimburse

ment of services provided. eir billingservice is there to assist you with billing-

related issues, but if you are well

equipped, you can provide them with information that will ensure that your

provider is paid for your health care services with little money coming out of

your pocket. at leaves a win-win solu

tion.

Medicare is one of the largest health carepayers, but at times can be very compli

cated. In addition, your provider has towork hard to get paid for their services.

Being your own health care advocate,you will know what services are covered

and what services are not. is way, you

are prepared when meeting with yourprovider to d i scuss hea l thcare

treatments.

Go to the Medicare.com website forhandbooks for patients. It is loaded withlots of information regarding what is

covered, what is not, what you can becharged for, and what you cannot be

charged for. You will be glad that youdid. Empower yourself with the knowledge base of healthcare.

Bulls Report by Evie Givens

Chicago Bulls Start 2nd Half by Evie

Givens

e All Star Break is over the Bulls con

tinued to improve as the season goes on.

ey are also looking at the return ofDerrick Rose which will help improvethe tempo of the offense. Without the

services of Rose the Bulls have maintained respectability in the East and over

the past weekend two Bulls made the AllStar Game Carlos Boozer and Joakim

Noah who have helped to ll the void.

e Bulls Back court has seen a li in thepast few weeks with the emerging play of

Nate Robinson coming off the Benchand adding scoring and defense . Overall

the Bulls have played well during the

rst part of the Season with spots where

they have struggled. e Bulls struggle

against teams that have quick pointguards and three point shooting capabil

ities.

With the Return of Rose this should helpwith his defense and play making capabilities. e Bulls need to continue to

play with the Tempo on defense andforce the other team to commit turn

overs and that transcend into fast breakpoints. ese are key to the continued

success of the Bulls. So as we kick off the2nd half of the season we once again invite you to join us on facebook to weigh

in on the Bulls Current Season

Hawks Report by Dick Kolfe Chicago Black Hawks are destined

to go down in history as one of the bestteams to ever start a season. Tying the

mark the Hawks have an opportunity tohave the best start ever by any team in

NHL History. So you may ask how theyare doing it. Answer is team work withKane and Houssa as the stars the rest of

the Blackhawks are a great supportingcast. However this team has little room

for All Stars.

e Hawks are just a few years removed

winning the Stanley Cup and the lasttwo seasons fought and made the play

offs playing tough but coming up shortand not advancing past the rst round.

So what has changed with the strike

shortened period many players rededi

cated themselves to working hard in the

off season and preparing for the Returnof hockey. Fans notice the difference inplay the Hawks are more physical and

are coming less penalties and allowingtheir defense to be included in the of

fense.

With the opportunity to set a new stan

dard the Hawks still face traditional foesin Detroit and St. Louis on their path to

the post season. Houssa recently was injured and should be on the return how

ever the Hawks play San Jose for the opportunity to have the best start in league

history. It will be tough for the Hawks to

continue this trend. So once the

rst losshappens it is done and on to the rest of

the Season

Cubs Report to Springwith Dick Kolf

Well the Northsiders have reported tospring training and we are no closer to

guring out this riddle we call the Cubs

than we are of having world peace.When we last le the Cubs they had just

nished a 100 loss season and tradedaway Veterans in order to make way for

the youth movement. e brainchildknown as eo Epstein is trying to free

up salary cap room and provide the team

with Free Agents or put the Cubs in po

sition to make a trade.

Well nothing happened over the winter.

e Cubs acquired one of the Hairstonsbrothers who is said to add some power

the lineup taking pressure of Alonso Soriano. Pitching remains the same with a

few additions and the cubs look to an in

jured Garza and Jeff Samardija, to beginto round out the rotation. Together they

do have the Talent to win 30 games andhelp the Cubs but there is reality and

Samardija is prone to be injured by Julyand has never completed a full season in

his 5 plus years in the League.

So looking at reality we have unproven

youth , tomato can pitching , an agedplayer in Sorriano,and a farm system

that can produce the like of Sterling Castro who has a great bat but leaves something to be desired with his Fielding. I

am reminded of the lm major leaguewhen the owner attempts to tank the

season so she can move the Team to anew city. I know it is funny to look to

Hollywood for inspiration however it hasbeen 105 years since the North side won

the World Series. So Cub fans we begin

yet another season of the unknown.

e Sox are Back byKyle Veeder

Here we go the start to the 2013 cam

paign and the Good Guys are ready foranother Season of Ventura Ball. With the

departure of AJ the Sox will have to llthe void of that leadership role. Look for

a couple of players to step up and add

the presence within the club house. e

Sox last season nished 3 games behindDetroit and we on the brink of post season except for a late season slide.

is year the Sox are prepared with

Peavy and Gavin Floyd return healthywith John Denks assuming the closer

role. e sox pitching looks strong this

season with Chris Sale ready for anotherseason.

Sox hitting is same as last year get on

base and let the big men knock it out ofthe park with Paul Konerko and Adam

Dunn combining for 67 home runs and

171 runs batted in.

is however is farfrom murders row with the loss of AJ

and Youklis the Sox will need to nd thatrun production somehow. Look for the

rise of Flowers and Rios who hit for average and have speed to help create run

production.
