In this episode, I read Chapter 15 of The Trust Premium, continuing Part III: Behaviors That Will Make Your Customers Trust You. This chapter is all about empathy—not just as a nice-to-have, but as a powerful tool to earn deeper trust, stronger loyalty, and ultimately, the Trust Premium.
We explore how to genuinely understand your customers: their context, preferences, fears, and values. From researching publicly available info to asking thoughtful (but respectful) questions, from finding common ground to navigating differences—this chapter outlines how to make your customers feel heard, valued, and understood.
Empathy builds connection. And connection builds trust.
