Trust and knowledge are two interesting words.
By definition trust means “to rely upon or
place confidence in someone or something”.
On the other knowledge is an “acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation”.
This past Saturday I was reminded of how
trust and knowledge intersect ---
Here’s the story:
My honeysuckle needs water, lots of
water!
In Arizona the best way to kill anything is simply
don’t water it. I know this. I trust Ken to have our sprinkler system on
every day. I was unaware (knowledge) we
had a major pipe break in the watering system and so no automatic water.
A lack of communication between Ken and I
almost killed my favorite plant.
Once discovered it was an easy fix. Turn the hose on! Within 30 minutes the honeysuckle sprang back
to life.
Trust and knowledge go hand in hand. When you lack one or the other stuff suffers.
This morning I was again reminded of how much
trust and knowledge crisscross, and I want to share my knowledge about someone
I trust.
I attended an event and heard Michael J. MaherSeven Levels of Communication known as America's Most Referred Real Estate Professional,
speak. Michael owns one of the top real estate companies in Kansas City. He
receives over 500 referrals and averages over 200 transactions per year. He is system driven. He has a great deal of knowledge and people
trust him.
It became a best-seller after only 7 days, an incredible feat considering Chicken Soup for the Soul by Mark Victor Hanson and Jack Canfield took over a year to be a best-seller!
What makes this story even more phenomenal is that 100% of the sales of (7L) have been by word of mouth, by referral. That means no e-mail blast, no advertising, no promotions and no direct mail.
