Trust is not what you think it is. It is not absolute or universal. Trust is relative. The same behavior that would cause one person to trust you could cause another person to distrust you. The level of trust someone has in you is the product of their trustfulness (their willingness to trust other people) and your trustworthiness. There is almost (I said ALMOST) nothing you can do about the former, and everything you can do about the latter. Because of that, you must evaluate your own trustworthiness one relationship at a time, separately. Odds are, though, that the same behaviors that are holding you back from being more trusted in one relationship are holding you back from being more trusted in other relationships. Welcome to The Trust Show. I’m your host, Yoram Solomon, a top 10 trust expert and researcher, the author of the book of trust, and the creator of the Trust Habits® workshop that helps people and organizations form new habits that change old behaviors, build trust, and transform organizations. In this educational podcast, I will challenge you to think differently about trust, through the 8 laws of trust and the 6 components of trustworthiness. I will share my own stories, experiences of others, trust research, and sometimes, reflect on a news item. And through those, I will show you how to build trust, be trusted, and know who to trust. Because the answer to this question will have the biggest impact on your personal and professional, success or failure: can you be trusted?

S4E11: Can You TRUST Customer Reviews?
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
The idea of posting and relying on customer reviews comes from the fifth law of trust: that trust is transferrable. If you trust one person, who trusts another person, you may trust that other person too.
The better business bureau (BBB), Amazon, Google, and many other companies use such reviews. Before you buy almost anything, before you download a song, go to a movie, or book a hotel room, you check reviews. You buy if you see positive reviews, and you don’t buy if the reviews are bad.
But is that trust justified? Should you trust people you don’t know? In this episode, I will share some of the dangers with relying on customer reviews, but will also discuss other aspects of it, as well as give you ideas on how to know if you can trust reviews, and how to increase the reliability of such reviews.
