Confidence is a quality that prospective customers look for in order to trust the information that is being given to them. When it is present, customers feel able to trust you enough to commit to taking action.
For confidence to be solid and unshakeable, and therefore engender trust, it must have a sound basis.
Confidence that is faked or part of a ‘salesman’s act’ normally doesn’t stand up to too much scrutiny before it starts to evaporate along with any trust, credibility and potential revenue.
True confidence must be based on high levels of competency i n the main areas that a customer-facing professional’s performance depends on. Excellence in one or several of these areas is not enough to create true confidence, as the remaining areas of weakness always hold the potential to undermine trust.
True confidence comes from eliminating weaknesses and blind spots in every area.
True confidence differs from the all-too-common ‘bluster’, ‘force of personality’ or overt displays of out-of- control ego that are typically presented as confidence. True confidence can be presented as softly spoken, demonstrative, attentive, informative, interactive and respectful and will still hold the attention of prospective customers, with far greater results.
This approach does not need present a false front, as it has a solid foundation based on true and complete competence in the areas that support or undermine it.
