25. When you don’t have credibility, clients say things like. “It’s all good now.” “That issue has faded in the last three months.” They answer questions with questions. “Can you tell me more about you? Why should we work with you?” No credibility- No traction! #InstantCred

26. How Much Credibility? Enough credibility until your client will answer the questions you ask. #InstantCred

27. Paths to Credibility 1. Shared Community 2. Professional Process and Protocol 3. Expertise, Experience, Knowledge #InstantCred

28. Shared Community 1. Personal Connection- The Michigan lakes. 2. Referral (in this case from me) 3. Business connection- the two companies were already familiar with each other. #InstantCred

32. Meeting before the Meeting • Meeting starts the moment you walk in the building. • Be deliberate. Have a list of logistical questions to ask the receptionist. (How many people work here?) • Pay attention. Ask questions about what you see that you are authentically curious about. • Disclose – It let’s them connect to you. Disclosure invites disclosure. #InstantCred
