Why Go-Social• Something fundamentally wrong with the way we are
selling and marketing today• Bombarded with marketing messages, TV ads,
newspaper ads, websites, Tweets • We are learning to filter all that doesn’t engage• We are becoming immune to interruptions• Advertising is failing (cigarettes) cold calling is failing
work (fishing stocks) • Social media is the dotcom boom: we overestimated the
instant change & underestimated the 10 year trend

Four Trust Drivers• Historical Trust – testimonials – client lists – LinkedIn recommendations –
previous dealings – brand reputation
• Capability Trust – case studies – expert blogs - qualifications – memberships – awards - ROI
• Interpersonal Trust - professionalism – ask thought provoking questions – rapport – attire – humour
• Social Trust – do you engage via social media – do you look approachable – positive ORM - opportunities to engage and network – Meshworks?
• These are the strategic foundations – it’s not about the tools!
