More than ever, due to dramatic changes in the economy over the past two years, the principles of credibility and trust are essential in building, or in many instances rebuilding, relationships. No matter what profession you are in, there are many people you reach in the business world who are struggling during these times.

Realizing that the pendulum is constantly swinging, the time has come to re-evaluate our professional model. Honestly, no one knows which direction the pendulum is moving. It is time to adjust from traditional relationship building processes and move toward building long-term relationships that are not pressure-based on one hand and taken for granted on another.

The economy of today needs to be understood fully by all in society through continuous study. With this, you will be ready to transfer hope to those you service, build relationships through educating and enlightening individuals to give them the direction and confidence they need to make home buying and selling decisions. From this, you build trust, loyalty and credibility, and become the source of direction and confidence in this interesting time.

Build confidence in those around you and be in front of people, in all forms of media, so they can grow from your knowledge and offerings. People want direction from people they can trust – make that person you.

Your Gmail contacts and Google Talk friends are automatically added as people you are following and allows you to share your items publicly to the world or privately with users you email and chat with.

Google Buzz integrates with your inbox and sends updates to your email and allows the conversation to continue with responses directly from within the email making comments updating in real time. @replies are also supported so you can send responses directly to someone’s email sending a buzz to their inbox.
