with Lori Jones, CEO & President of Avocet Communications
Audio Only
Episode Description
Getting people to know your brand is not the finish line. The bigger strategic question is what happens next: Do they recognize you, trust you, believe in what you stand for, and eventually act on that belief? In this StrategyCast solocast, Lori introduces the Belief Path: know, recognize, trust, believe, and act. She explains how each stage builds on the one before it and why trust is the critical bridge between brand awareness and the customer behaviors that can contribute to growth, including buying, staying, recommending, advocating, and giving a brand another chance when something goes wrong.
