0 comments

Trust is the foundation of every successful relationship, especially in leadership, sales, and transformation. In a recent episode of Sales POP!, expert John Golden chats with trusted authority Darryl Stickle to reveal practical strategies for building trust in today’s unpredictable world.

Key takeaways include:

  • Trust exists on a spectrum, not as a yes/no concept.
  • Vulnerability and risk tolerance shape trust dynamics.
  • Consistency, transparency, integrity, and genuine care are four essential pillars of trust.
  • In sales, trust often outperforms product features as the main driver.
  • Referrals come naturally when you delight clients and align internal teams.

For leaders and sales pros, mastering these trust-building techniques is critical for driving growth and deepening relationships. Start small, communicate clearly, and lead with integrity to thrive in today’s complex business environment.
