What makes someone choose you over your competitors?
Spoiler: It’s not just your skills, your pricing, or even your killer smile (though that doesn’t hurt).
It’s credibility.
Credibility is that unshakable trust people feel when they see you as the go-to authority in your field. It’s the difference between a prospect hesitating and saying, “Let me think about it,” and them eagerly saying, “Where do I sign?”
But here’s the rub: most professionals assume credibility is a given. You’ve got the credentials, the experience, the results—why wouldn’t people just know you’re the best?
Newsflash: They don’t.
In a noisy world, prospects aren’t psychic. You’ve got to actively communicate your credibility and do it in a way that sticks.
Think about it this way: You could be the most brilliant, skilled expert in your field, but if you don’t make it crystal clear to your prospects, they’ll go with someone else—someone who does make it obvious.
Here’s your assignment: Take a hard look at your current marketing. How are you demonstrating your expertise? Is it through testimonials? A standout case study? A signature piece of content that positions you as the authority?
If your answer is “not much” or “I’m not sure,” it’s time to fix that.
