It's generally harder to gain credibility nowadays than it ever has been in the past. Most consumers are fairly sophisticated and have grown cynical from all the exaggerated and unsubstantiated hype that is being thrown at them. People who feel that they have been burned in the past have developed thick skins to almost every persuasive message they are exposed to.
Here are ten ways in which you can increase your credibility in spite of all the skepticism:
- Be sure your appearance is polished and professional. How do you look, dress and appear to your audience? Do you appear self-assured and in control of the situation? Do you maintain good eye contact?
- Use highly credible sources, facts, statistics and stories to back up your claims. Cite evidence, identify sources and give source qualifications. Write and publish relevant articles or publish a book.
- Research your audience. Be sure you explain the issue in terms that are relevant to them. Demonstrate that you have their best interest in mind.
- Explain your background, expertise and qualifications so your audience knows why you have the credibility to speak to them on this particular subject matter. Display or promote your qualifications as a means of conferring your status and expertise.
- Adopt a language and style that is suitable to the listener, the topic and the setting. Watch vocal fillers like um, er and ah. They detract from the message and your credibility. Use assertive language.
- Emphasize your similarities in a way that makes them relevant to your audience. Listeners find it easier to identify with sources they perceive as similar to themselves. Use similar industries, colleges, home states, professional sports teams-anything that will strike a chord of familiarity (a technique that breeds instant rapport) in your prospects.
- Have another highly credible individual (in the eyes of your audience) introduce you. Testimonials substantiate your expertise. Find third-party testimonials that endorse your position.
