BUSINESS WEBINAR:
5 Gestures of Trust
Thursday, May 3
2pm-3pm EST
|
| You are invited to join the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for an exclusive webinar talking about a new framework to evaluate customer-business relationships called the 5 Gestures of Trust and the benefit to small businesses like yours.
Aided by the speed of technology and social media, customer experiences can make or break a business. The extensive findings from BBB's research study, 5 Gestures of Trust
, suggest that consumers who report positive experiences, respect, trust, and loyalty with companies tend to describe them as Honest, Transparent, Proactive, Humble and Equitable.
Join us in exploring how businesses like yours can better evaluate customer relationships and in turn, create better experiences using the 5 Gestures of Trust.
Craig Honick,
managing partner of Metro Tribal, a market insight and brand-story development firm based in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Seattle, Washington will be leading the discussion on the 5 Gestures of Trust.
