People buy from people they know like and trust. If they don’t know you then they can’t like you or trust you. Figure out ways to get to know people. Go to meet ups, call people, email them, post on social media. Let people know who you are. Let people see you, hear you and trust you. It is easier to be unknown and hard to be known. Be known for the right reasons. Be known for helping others. Be known for quality, value, trust, kindness, empathy, a problem solver, creative, enthusiastic.
