Lack of Credibility in Business?
Credibility is built. Credibility can be between two people or groups of people. What is your professional BRAND? Your Brand will involve credibility… or lack thereof. Credibility goes hand-in-hand with trust. Everything that we do in today’s world-both professional and personal- involves a great deal of trust and credibility. Remember… you only have one chance to make a good first impression. And many times that first impression is what establishes credibility- or establishes a “lack of credibility.” Ways to Build Positive Credibility in Your Professional Brand:- Have a good mentor
