Today, we’re addressing the “trust recession.” Recent data shows consumer confidence is at its lowest since 2016, with sectors like banking seeing significant declines. Factors such as misinformation, data breaches and financial scams have contributed to this distrust. In today’s episode, Rosemary shares four practical ways wealth managers can rebuild trust:
- Be transparent: Clients appreciate honesty and openness, so share clear information about your business practices, investment strategies and decision-making processes.
- Align with your values: Communicate your company’s values and ensure your actions reflect them, as clients prefer firms that show genuine commitment to their principles.
- Opt for personal communication: Choose phone calls over emails when possible; direct conversations help build stronger connections and show clients you value their trust.
- Be consistent in your commitments: Following through on your promises helps establish trust and build lasting confidence.
Addressing the trust recession requires a commitment to honest, transparent communication. By applying these strategies, you can build stronger client relationships and stand out from the competition.
