Whether Uber, Amazon, or Tinder: we crave to build trust, because trust takes us further. Without trust, how would we leave the confines of our homes and families to explore the beyond. To know the unknown. Lonely is the soul that doesn't trust. 

A digital world, full of information about us is a conduit to building trust quickly; and that's why I love these times we live in. So many tools for us to build trust in one another. 

Instagram is simple. But therein lies its complexity. Following a few rules, consistently overtime will create a vibrant and attractive page, without effort. And a following that will rely more on visitor experience rather on spends.

We all know how referrals are a powerful source of repeat business for marketing agencies. When a happy client recommends us to someone he knows, we are riding on the trust of the relationship the two share. This eases the process of creating trust with the potential client. And so, haven’t some of our best wins have been through referrals?

But sometimes the referral well does dry up. Economic conditions change, or clients themselves don’t have any further introductions to make. Sometime existing projects haven’t gone so well. Much can impact the flow of leads for marketing agencies; especially the referral flow.

GroCurv, a sales and marketing services marketplace, is in the “stranger winning high value business from strangers business".

In India, family businesses, it is estimated, contribute more than 75 percent of national GDP annually.

These businesses represent a wide cross section of industries. Wide range of turnovers. Different geographical presence. Often focusing on a smaller range of products, over the years they grow with deep and selective customer relationships. These relationships assure them of stability, growth and even immunity from competition. Often, it is the promoter who is directly responsible for several key functions (Sales and Marketing being one of them) and acts as the adhesive holding the company together.

I am a fan of WhiteHat Jr. The service they provide is a useful service and which parent hasn’t thought of exposing their child to coding and computer science as early as possible?

We tried a neighborhood center for the same, which was a great experience, and hence when I heard of WHJ, I spoke to my wife to consider this for our son.

And so began our experience and journey.
