Trust Me TwoWays to Earn It!
by Brian Basilico on February 13, 2013in Crowdsourcing, EMail Marketing,
Facebook, LinkedIn, Marketing Tips and
Tools, Networking, Social Media, SocialNetworking, Twitter, Websites
Trust is not something you can buy, ne
gotiate, or or circumvent. It has to beearned. Once earned, it has to be nurtured, maintained and re-earned with
every transaction, interaction, and reaction.
So you may get people to KNOW you,
and they may even LIKE you aer a certain amount of time, but getting them to
TRUST YOU is usually a arduous task.
It takes time, communication, and usually some interpersonal interaction.
Trust can be primarily earned in two dis
tinct ways. First, by working with a person in a one-on-one or group level. is
group or person has to have some prede
ned task that is expected of you. Youhave to meet or exceed expectations. e
second way is through referrals, testimonials, and some other rst hand experi
ence with you, and your products, orservices.
1) ExceedingExpectations

Working with clients and giving themover and above customer service is a
sure re way create a referral machine.
When you exceed expectations, and helpthem realize the true value proposition
of what you have to offer, they are certain to share your contact information
when somebody asks Do you knowanybody who can.
As a marketing company, our valueproposition is this, Marketing should
always be an investment, and never anexpense. If you spend $100, you should
make $300 $100 to cover the marketing costs, $100 for your time and invest
ment, and $100 prot. If we dont see an
opportunity for three times return on investment, then we should not do the
project.. Now, I cant always guarantee a3 to 1 return on investment, but it sets us
apart from the competition. Its hard tohelp those that dont want to be active
and participate in the process. Again,
thats not what we offer. I tell customers
that We are in the business of makingyou more money!.
ere have been some projects thatcould not live up to that offer, but many
more times weve made clients 3 to 1, 5to 1, 10 to 1, and even 25 to 1 or more in
prots. You can bet that those customers
are my best sales force.
2) Testimonials &Reviews
at leads me to second way to obtaintrust. is is through recommendations
and reviews. Nothing is more powerfulin a Google or LinkedIn search than
positive, glowing reviews of your business and your work. Reputation management can be an arduous task, but its part
of the new reality in this Google Search For It world.
Recently, LinkedIn had started some
thing call Endorse Me to create more interaction with users. is is not the same
as a recommendation. A recommenda
tion is a heartfelt testimonial of yourbusiness. If you need some more recom
mendations, its not offensive to ask forthem from connections that you have ac
tually done business with on LinkedIn.Just be prepared to reciprocate with a
positive review for them as well.
Positive reviews on Google, Yelp, Mer
chant Circle, Yahoo Local and others,can be one of the most convincing tools
for people to trust you enough to pick upthe phone to call you, or visit your website and ll out a request form, or send
you an email. ink about being on theother end of that transaction. Do you
read reviews before purchasing a product or service? Most of us do.
I have been asked more than once abouthow to deal with a negative review. ere
are no phone numbers to call and dis
pute with Google, and few websites havesystem in place to let you deal with
them. e only way to meet a bad reviewhead on is get tons more of positive ones
that push it further and further down thelist of reviews. One bad review with
three good ones can create an aura ofconcern for potential customers. Onebad one with a hundred good ones, will
certainly drown the lone bad one out!
Ask for reviews and recommendations.Manage them, nurture them, and most
certainly, be aware of them. ey are
your biggest asset in building trust with
those who are just getting to know aboutyou, your products and/or services!
Finaloughts?
So what have you done to build trust
with clients or potential customers?Share some of your ideas or experiences
in the comments section!

Sheryl Krase Community Beat Editor Kris Heiman
Job Advice withSheryl Krase
Statistics show that approximately 50percent of mid-sized companies and al
most all large corporations use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to screen
candidates for job opportunities.
ere are a variety of reasons recruiters
and hiring managers adopt this type oftechnology. With an ATS in place, hu
man resources departments can automate and store hiring documents online
so HR professionals never have to worryabout siing through stacks of paperwork or hundreds of emails to nd what
they need.
Colin Day, the founder and chief executive officer of iCIMS, Inc., a provider of
talent acquisition soware for growingbusinesses, is in an excellent position to
advise job seekers on how to maximize
their online applications. Here are Day'stop suggestions for getting the most visi
bility out of your online application:
1. oroughly read job descriptions.Most recruiters will tell you a big pet
peeve is hearing from job seekers who
apply even if they aren't qualied for thejob. Take the time to understand exactly
what the company expects from applicants for jobs that interest you; do not ig
nore the detailed description of what thejob entails. "ATS technologies can lter
candidates by those whose responses
dovetail best with specic job descriptions. For the best response rates, make
sure your content and experience matchup accordingly," Day says.
2. Create an original cover letter. If the
company asks for acover letter, be sure toinclude one. Make sure to write one spe
cic to your accomplishments and skillsand one that addresses the job descrip
tion properly. Go a step further and
mention how you will use that knowledge and those skills on the job. Avoid
sending out a generic, run-of-the-millcover letter. "Despite the cover letter be
ing digital, it's oen the rst thing recruiters read when viewing candidate
proleseven ahead of the resume,"
Day explains. "Use the cover letter as an
opportunity to showcase your personality, qualications, and desire for the job."
3. Identify key words and tailor your re
sume. Take your time and look over
your resume. Find the key words in thejob description and make sure you indicate how your accomplishments address
those requirements. Be sure to customize your resume and/or cover letter
slightly to each specic job.
4. Make sure your responses are on tar
get and error free."With paper applications, poorly written submissions can be
tossed in the 'circular
le,' never to beseen again," Day says. "But with digital
applications, error-laden content lives onat that company, potentially hurting your
chances for a relationship with the employer in the future as well." is is a
scary thought, but one that should moti
vate you to triple-check your content forspelling, content, and grammar. Addi
tionally, Day suggests you make sure allof your information is completely spelled
o u t i n o t h e r w o r d s , a v o i dabbreviations. In many cases, abbreviations that may be understood readily by
the hiring managers are not familiar tothe rst-line recruiters.
5. Maintain one candidate prole per
company. Once you apply to a companythat uses an ATS, the organization saves
your personal information. While you
should tailor your resume and/or coverletter for each job submission, maintain
one master prole for all of your applications for that company. "Multiple proles
in one company's system can cause confusion," Day says. "By only submitting
one prole per company, you can elimi
nate the odds of the wrong prole beingdisqualied by a rst-line recruiter."
Next week we will focus in Interviewing
Techniques. Happy Hunting!
How to ImproveCurb Appeal byKristine Heiman
With the coming spring season, now is
the time to think about what you need
to do to get your home ready for the
upcoming selling season. Spring is tra
ditionally busy for us Real Estate agents
and for those who want to sell theirhomes as well. Following some of these
simple exercises can help you improve
the value of your home and make it
marketable.
Curb Appeal Exercise
e next time you come home, stop
across the street or far enough down thedriveway to get a good view of the house
and its surroundings.
1. What is your rst impression of the
house and yard area?
2. What are the best exterior features ofthe house or lot? How can you enhance
them?
3. What are the worst exterior features of
the house or lot? How can you minimizeor improve them?
Park where a potential buyer would and
walk towards the house. Look around asif it were your rst visit. Is the approach
clean and tidy? What could you do to
make it more attractive?
Take photos of the homes exterior. If youhave a digital camera, view the color ver
sions rst, then remove the color and
look at it in black and white, because it's
easier to see problems when color isn'taround to affect our senses.
Make a list of the problem areas you dis
covered. Tackle clean up and repair
chores rst, then put some time intoprojects that make the grounds more at
tractive.
Kill mold and mildew on the house,sidewalks, roof, or driveway.
Stow away unnecessary garden imple
ments and tools.
Clean windows and gutters.
Pressure wash dirty siding and dingy
decks.
Edge sidewalks and remove vegetation
growing between concrete or bricks.
Mow the lawn. Get rid of weeds.
Rake and dispose of leaves, even if yourlot is wooded.
Trim tree limbs that are near or touch
ing the home's roof.
Don't Forget the Rear View
Buyers doing a drive by will try their
best to see your back yard. If it's visible
from another street or from someone'sdriveway, include it in your curb appeal
efforts.

Health Corner with Christina Dennis-Riforgiate
Sinking your feet into a pool of warm,
bubbly water may be relaxing. But did
you know that bacteria can be intro
duced into your bath, thanks to the pipesthat carry the water?
Avoid soaking in someone elses bacteriaby being picky about your foot bath.
Some spas use pipe-less pedicure chairs,which reduce the area in which bacteria
can hide. Opt for easy-to-clean individu
al buckets or bowls. Before you bookyour service, ask the spa which type of
basin it uses. And remember, regardlessof basin type, the technicians should still
clean between each client.
When booking your appointment, make
sure to mention if youre a diabetic, andask if they have a trained pedicurist (like
a medical nail technician) that does diabetic pedicures. ese specialists know
to be gentle, the dos and donts, and willpoint out to you any wounds or other
symptoms that they notice while helping
you. Safety is a prime concern, and its agood idea to ensure that you get pedi
cures with someone experienced.
Take the Right Steps
You should wash and inspect your feet
daily. Turn the chore into a treat.1. Wash: Clean feet are healthy, so
perform this task dailynot just for apedicure.
2. Exfoliate: Get rid of the dry skinthat prevents full moisture absorption.
3. Moisturize: Rub a thick moisturiz
er into feet, avoiding the area betweentoes.
4. Clip: Cut toenails straight acrossto prevent ingrown nails.
5. Soen: Stop cuticles from cracking by rubbing them with soothing oil.
6. Polish: Go ahead, have fun!

Patient Advocacy By SharonPointer
Patient Advocacy-Self Awareness
Who can speak to your insurance company or provider regarding your health
benet issues? It may seem difficult tond someone to address questions for
services listed on your EOB (explanationof benets) or your hospital charges.
e best advocate that you can have isYOURSELF. Today, we have so many
tools available for patients to advocatefor themselves. Listed below are some of
the tools that are available:
Assistance with medications
Free or low-cost diabetic supplies
Free seminars provided by your local
hospitals
Free information and tools through
WebMD.com and other websites dedicated to assisting patients
Free assistance in understanding the
ABCs of reading your EOB and hospital
bills
Assistance with hospital bills for thoseon xed income or low income
ese are just a few of the tools that areavailable to you. Have you ever gotten a
bill from your doctor that immediatelyshocked you? I have been there, did that.
Myrst reaction was what does this allmean and how am I going to pay these
bills?
Your rst thought may be to jump into
panic mode. But if you understand theprocess and the items on the bill, you are
better equipped to empower yourself
with the tools needed to resolve themedical bills. Your health care provider
takes care of your health issues. ey billyour insurance company for reimburse

related issues, but if you are well
equipped, you can provide them with information that will ensure that your
provider is paid for your health care services with little money coming out of
your pocket. at leaves a win-win solu
tion.

cated. In addition, your provider has towork hard to get paid for their services.

Bulls Report by Evie Givens
Chicago Bulls Start 2nd Half by Evie
Givens
e All Star Break is over the Bulls con
tinued to improve as the season goes on.
ey are also looking at the return ofDerrick Rose which will help improvethe tempo of the offense. Without the
services of Rose the Bulls have maintained respectability in the East and over
the past weekend two Bulls made the AllStar Game Carlos Boozer and Joakim
Noah who have helped to ll the void.
e Bulls Back court has seen a li in thepast few weeks with the emerging play of
Nate Robinson coming off the Benchand adding scoring and defense . Overall
the Bulls have played well during the
rst part of the Season with spots where
they have struggled. e Bulls struggle
against teams that have quick pointguards and three point shooting capabil
ities.
With the Return of Rose this should helpwith his defense and play making capabilities. e Bulls need to continue to
play with the Tempo on defense andforce the other team to commit turn
overs and that transcend into fast breakpoints. ese are key to the continued
success of the Bulls. So as we kick off the2nd half of the season we once again invite you to join us on facebook to weigh
in on the Bulls Current Season

Hawks Report by Dick Kolfe Chicago Black Hawks are destined
to go down in history as one of the bestteams to ever start a season. Tying the
mark the Hawks have an opportunity tohave the best start ever by any team in
NHL History. So you may ask how theyare doing it. Answer is team work withKane and Houssa as the stars the rest of
the Blackhawks are a great supportingcast. However this team has little room
for All Stars.
e Hawks are just a few years removed
winning the Stanley Cup and the lasttwo seasons fought and made the play
offs playing tough but coming up shortand not advancing past the rst round.
So what has changed with the strike
shortened period many players rededi
cated themselves to working hard in the
off season and preparing for the Returnof hockey. Fans notice the difference inplay the Hawks are more physical and
are coming less penalties and allowingtheir defense to be included in the of
fense.
With the opportunity to set a new stan
dard the Hawks still face traditional foesin Detroit and St. Louis on their path to
the post season. Houssa recently was injured and should be on the return how
ever the Hawks play San Jose for the opportunity to have the best start in league
history. It will be tough for the Hawks to
continue this trend. So once the
rst losshappens it is done and on to the rest of
the Season

Cubs Report to Springwith Dick Kolf
Well the Northsiders have reported tospring training and we are no closer to
guring out this riddle we call the Cubs
than we are of having world peace.When we last le the Cubs they had just
nished a 100 loss season and tradedaway Veterans in order to make way for
the youth movement. e brainchildknown as eo Epstein is trying to free
up salary cap room and provide the team
with Free Agents or put the Cubs in po
sition to make a trade.
Well nothing happened over the winter.
e Cubs acquired one of the Hairstonsbrothers who is said to add some power
the lineup taking pressure of Alonso Soriano. Pitching remains the same with a
few additions and the cubs look to an in
jured Garza and Jeff Samardija, to beginto round out the rotation. Together they
do have the Talent to win 30 games andhelp the Cubs but there is reality and
Samardija is prone to be injured by Julyand has never completed a full season in
his 5 plus years in the League.
So looking at reality we have unproven
youth , tomato can pitching , an agedplayer in Sorriano,and a farm system
that can produce the like of Sterling Castro who has a great bat but leaves something to be desired with his Fielding. I
am reminded of the lm major leaguewhen the owner attempts to tank the
season so she can move the Team to anew city. I know it is funny to look to
Hollywood for inspiration however it hasbeen 105 years since the North side won
the World Series. So Cub fans we begin
yet another season of the unknown.

Peavy and Gavin Floyd return healthywith John Denks assuming the closer

Sox hitting is same as last year get on
base and let the big men knock it out ofthe park with Paul Konerko and Adam
Dunn combining for 67 home runs and
171 runs batted in.
