What does it take to become a credibility expert? What can you do to be viewed as credible?
Credibility is your character and other people’s perception of your character. According to Mitchell Levy, credibility is a journey and not a destination. It is the quality in which we are trusted, known, and liked. When presenting an elevator pitch or your CPoP (Customer Point of Possibilities) statement, credibility is essential to make an impact on your audience. You have to establish trust with them quickly, so they want to know you and work with you rather than your competitors. To create credibility and be likable, you must be authentic and consistent, display integrity, be vulnerable, and respect people, among other things.
In this episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit interviews Mitchell Levy, a global credibility expert, about his proven process of creating credibility. Mitchell also discusses the 10 aspects of creating credibility, why it takes three seconds on your online presence to generate trust, how to state your purpose succinctly, and guides Adi to create her personal CPoP statement and what comes next.
