Recommendation

Trust consultant David Horsager, also author of The Daily Edge, defines “trust” as a belief in a person or thing. He explains that trust indicates that a person or a product possesses inherent integrity, even in trying circumstances. Without trust, a business can’t forge new associations, retain employees, or enhance its customers’ regard for its merchandise or services.
