Description

You've been told you must build trust and credibility to grow your business, right? And that the key to building your business is to bombard potential customers with irresistible offers. 

But you've done that. Turns out, they resist your offers, trust you less and you feel like a jerk.

There's got to be a better way, right?

Matthew Burns has that solution: create trust before the sale.

  • How to turn your weaknesses into a marketing advantage

  • The true impact of keeping promises and the true cost of using ambiguous language

He's got a track record for delivering exceptional results, and an unconventional approach to building trust.
