Trust isn’t just about honesty or reliability—it follows specific patterns and behaviors that influence every interaction, especially in the customer-provider relationship. In this episode, I read Chapters 7 and 8 of The Trust Premium, where we transition from why trust is essential to what trust really is.
I’ll introduce my definition of trust and break down the Eight Laws of Trust, which challenge common assumptions and reveal how trust actually works. You’ll discover why trust is continuous, contextual, personal, asymmetrical, transferrable, reciprocal, dynamic, and two-sided—and why understanding these laws is crucial for building trust with your customers.
Next week, we’ll dive into what specifically makes a customer trust you. But for now, let’s explore the fascinating ways trust behaves and why it’s not what you think.
