Have you ever participated in a trust fall exercise? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether at a corporate retreat or a leadership conference, many of us have seen and experienced that terrifying sensation of falling backward into someone\u2019s arms. The exercise is supposed to help you build trust with your partner so that you\u2019re confident they will, quite literally, catch you when you fall. The premise is that this translates to business, leadership, or interpersonal skills and shows you that it\u2019s important to trust your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we think that exercise is a horrible way to build trust. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have absolutely no reason to believe that your partner will catch you. And, unless you\u2019re at a corporate event for bodybuilders, chances are your workplace counterpart has yet to prove to you that they are physically able to catch the total weight of your body as you fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s more like a blind faith exercise than a trust exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unfortunate truth is that many companies don\u2019t know how to build brand trust. They expect customers to put blind faith in them without proving why they can\u2014and should\u2014be trusted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, in 2024, companies are working from a trust deficit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are the leading brand in your industry, the trust deficit that began in the last five years has impacted every company and leader. This was only accelerated thanks to significant cultural shifts during the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the rapid acceleration of digital transformation, including the proliferation of AI, there are infinitely more expectations about what a brand should be and how it should act in the modern business world. Consumers expect brands to have a presence on social media, to respond to cultural issues or change, and to be transparent. These elements are essential for building trust with your customers. They are proof that your brand is worth partnering with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building trust with customers requires a multifaceted approach. You don\u2019t have to be an old, well-known business to earn trust. You just need a strategy. Fortunately for you, we use a straightforward approach to help brands build trust. It\u2019s called balanced brand resonance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is balanced brand resonance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We developed the concept of balanced brand resonance to help brands understand the omnichannel approach we take to building trust. Here\u2019s how we break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
