Sellers seriously overestimate how much buyers trust them. Several studies have reported this outcome. Results indicate that sellers overestimate buyer trust by as much as 30%.

Let’s say that again…

These research results show that sellers need to work constantly to earn buyer trust. So what are the seller attributes that buyers value highly?

Research has found that buyers value honesty and customer-orientation most. Attributes such as likeability, competency, and dependability are less important to buyers.

And you know what to do about it.

Tell the truth.
Keep your promises.
Stay customer oriented all the time.
