How to build consumer and client confidence by making yourself an "accessible expert."
It's all well and good to be an expert these days. It's a credit to your profession that you know your business well enough to get that particular stamp of public appreciation. The question is, are you an accessible expert? The fact is, in these days of cold hard realities and tumultuous times, consumers have no patience with huge egos and hard-to-reach professionals. It doesn't matter how much time and effort you have put into your status. What consumers do respond to is the expert who is friendly and available. If you have spent the last few years working hard to build your expert status, take the next step by expanding on that effort and making yourself accessible. Consider the following friendly maneuvers: Email: Usually it's not who answers the email as much as that the email gets answered. Don't leave customers hanging, prospects wondering, and leads languishing. As you grow in expert status, grow the help you need to keep your business running smoothly. Lost emails sent to experts give the sender a feel of not being important. Hard Copy Newsletter: Phone: Picture: Tell Your Story In First Person: Speak English: Experts abound in the marketplace, but accessible experts are the ones that set themselves off the pedestal and into the crowd. This is the next step in personal, confidence building marketing with today's smarter consumer.
