Here's how you can establish trust and credibility while networking in Business Innovation.

With my team and my family, I am always saying "Keep it 💯." Keeping it 100 really means to be authentic and honest. Staying true to yourself fosters genuine connection and builds trust - in both your personal and professional life. Transparency, integrity, and vulnerability are key. These qualities strengthen teams and they attract the GREAT, loyal customers you want. By sharing real stories and experiences, we create a more relatable and trustworthy brand. Authenticity is not just a buzzword -- it's the cornerstone of lasting success and meaningful impact. Don't shy away from being your true self. If you've held back, it will take practice. But I promise every time you show up as YOU, the right people will find you.

Don’t sell something you don’t use, the first user of the experience you’re selling must be you. Being authentic will reinforce the trust, turning you in the top of mind even for those things you don’t work with.

It involves consistently offering value through a "Law of Moore" mindset—delivering exponential benefits by focusing on reliability and exceptional service. By fostering trust, you reduce friction, slash costs by up to 10 times, and increase client value tenfold. This approach attracts lifelong customers and enhances sustainability, ESG initiatives, and overall organizational culture, mitigating endless potential issues. Specific actionable insights include always delivering on promises, providing exceptional customer support, and proactively addressing client needs. These strategies, deeply tested in real-world scenarios, will transform your business relationships and drive sustained growth.

Solve something, be important in your segment. Show your difference between others, reduce cost, be unique. Have a brand !

Listening effectively helps to identify gaps, adjust our thinking and id new ways to solve. Be open for criticism, you will learn a lot.

One of my all-time favorite questions to ask is -- "can you say more?" Folks love to talk about what they know, and giving them the opportunity and space to expand is one of the most thoughtful things you can do. Ask open-ended questions and listen to understand - not to respond. This will show them that you care to learn and are interested in their experiences, which will create mutual respect and readiness to work together.

The most important thing we have is our word, once we use it, it’s imperative do complain the with delivery feedback and responsability.

Promise to send information? Send it right away or set a reminder. Make an email introduction? Do it! These type of things don't take long and can make a huge difference for those who need it. Booked a meeting but can no longer make it? Send that note right away with your apologies and an invite to either rebook or hop on a phone call. Keep the promises you make, show up, and your credibility will skyrocket.

I often share my journey being employee 7 at Complete Nutrition and how we made it one of the fastest-growing franchises in the nation. In my experiences in the ad world to Complete Nutrition, I carried a lot of stories that helped us grow at Bulu Box. And with Bulu Box, we failed a lot and LEARNED. We also learned from other people's stories and the problems they were facing. Sharing stories and listening to others is THE reason we are doing what we're doing at Bulu now, because we know we're out here to solve the same problem we were having. Stories build trust, establish credibility, and demonstrate the genuine motivations behind my ventures.

In my opinion, people like to follow examples, if you’re able to show success case it will be easy to convince, to forest the trust. Try to share your use experience by delivering stories.

La mejor forma de establecer confianza con alguien, es primero confiando uno en ese alguien. Muchas empresas hacen esto brindando oportunidades de devolver productos solo a base de su opinion, por ejemplo.
