Trust is not one element of a successful sale. Trust is the foundation supporting every other part of the sales process. A customer may like your product, appreciate your expertise and even agree that your price is reasonable. However, when they begin to doubt your reliability, judgement or integrity, the opportunity can disappear very quickly. This is particularly important when selling financial services, consulting, technology or any solution where the customer must accept uncertainty and place something valuable in the salesperson's hands. A small error can create a much larger question: "If they cannot manage this simple detail, can I trust them with the important work?" Salespeople make mistakes. The decisive issue is whether they recognise the damage, adapt their approach and deliberately rebuild the buyer's confidence. Why is trust so important in sales? Trust allows the customer to believe that the salesperson will keep promises, protect their interests and respond responsibly when something goes wrong. Without it, even a strong proposal becomes difficult to accept. Most purchases involve some degree of risk. The buyer cannot know with absolute certainty whether the product will perform, the project will finish on time or the promised support will actually appear. The salesperson therefore becomes part of the product. Their accuracy, preparation, consistency and behaviour give the buyer clues about what working with the company will be like after the contract is signed. This is especially true in professional services, financial advice and business-to-business sales. The customer may be placing money, confidential information, organisational credibility or career reputation at risk. A minor mistake does not always destroy the opportunity. However, an unexplained mistake can cause the customer to question everything else the salesperson says. Do now: Treat every meeting detail, follow-up promise and factual claim as evidence the buyer will use to judge your overall reliability. How can a small sales mistake damage credibility? A seemingly minor error can damage credibility when it contradicts the image of competence and attention to detail that the salesperson is trying to create. Imagine inviting a potential client to your office and then sending them the wrong building address. The client arrives, discovers that your company is not located there and must search for the correct location. The practical inconvenience may only involve ten or fifteen minutes. The psychological damage can be much larger. If the conversation involves investing the client's money, managing a critical project or advising senior management, the customer may reasonably wonder whether the same carelessness could affect something more significant. This is how buyers think. They rarely judge an error in isolation. They use the visible mistake to predict future behaviour. A salesperson may think, "It was only a typo." The buyer may think, "What else will they get wrong?" Do now: When an error conflicts with the competence you are selling, address the larger concern—not merely the inconvenience it caused. Is an apology enough to restore trust? An apology is necessary, but it is rarely sufficient when the mistake has caused the customer to question the salesperson's competence or judgement. Saying "I'm sorry" acknowledges the problem. It does not explain why it happened, whether it reflects a wider pattern or why the customer should continue believing in you. The salesperson must close that credibility gap. A useful recovery contains four elements: A clear acknowledgement of the error A credible explanation without making excuses Evidence that the problem is unusual rather than normal A practical reason the customer can still trust the salesperson and the company The explanation should be concise and authentic. A long, defensive speech can make the situation worse. However, trying to brush past the incident and continue with the standard presentation can leave the customer mentally stuck on the unresolved doubt. The buyer needs help making sense of the mistake before they can properly listen to the rest of the proposal. Do now: Apologise, explain, reassure and provide evidence. Do not expect the word "sorry" to perform all four jobs. How should a salesperson rebuild trust during the meeting? After a credibility-damaging mistake, the salesperson should adapt the meeting and deliberately front-load evidence of reliability, experience and organisational strength. This is not the moment to deliver the same canned sales presentation used in every other meeting. The salesperson should briefly explain the mistake and then transition into the strongest reasons the customer should trust the company. These might include its history, regulatory standing, client base, specialised expertise, service standards, financial stability or documented results. A corporate brochure should not simply be handed over at the end with the suggestion that the customer read it later. The salesperson should guide the buyer through the most relevant sections and connect those points directly to the concern that has arisen. For example: "I recognise that today's address error was not a good demonstration of our standards. Let me show you how our client work is checked and managed, because reliability is central to what we do." That is honest, direct and useful. Do now: Change the presentation to match the trust problem. Lead with proof instead of continuing as though nothing happened. Can the office environment affect a buyer's trust? Yes. The office location, physical environment and way the company presents itself can influence how customers judge its stability and credibility. Many legitimate, successful companies operate from serviced offices, coworking spaces or executive floors. Flexible premises are now common among startups, consulting firms, international businesses and companies adopting hybrid work. The problem is not necessarily the office arrangement. The problem is the unexplained gap between what the customer expected and what they encountered. When someone is considering investing money or appointing a long-term adviser, they may ask: How large is this company? How permanent is it? Will it still be here in five years? The salesperson should anticipate these questions. A sensible explanation might be that the company deliberately maintains a flexible office structure to control overheads and offer clients more competitive fees. That explanation can convert a possible weakness into a rational business choice. Silence leaves the buyer to invent an explanation, and buyers rarely invent the most flattering one. Do now: Identify anything about your premises, company size or operating model that could create doubt and explain it before the buyer reaches a negative conclusion. Why is attacking a competitor risky in sales? Criticising a competitor can weaken trust when the salesperson's own history, conduct or credibility appears inconsistent with the criticism. Suppose a salesperson says that a competitor's fees are unfair. That may sound like useful differentiation—until the buyer learns that the salesperson worked for that competitor for many years. The customer may then ask an uncomfortable but logical question: "Were you comfortable charging those allegedly unfair fees when you worked there?" Simply attacking the previous employer does not resolve the contradiction. It may make the salesperson appear opportunistic or disloyal. A stronger explanation would distinguish personal values from company policy. The salesperson could say they disagreed with the old fee structure, tried to serve clients fairly within the system and eventually chose to join a firm whose philosophy better matched their own. That creates a credible narrative linking past experience with the present position. Competitive selling should focus on meaningful differences, not insults. Buyers are more persuaded by evidence of better value than by complaints about another company. Do now: Explain your company's philosophy, structure and advantages without relying on unsupported attacks against competitors. Conclusion: Trust recovery must be deliberate Every salesperson makes mistakes. Meetings are forgotten, messages contain errors and important details sometimes get missed. The existence of the mistake is not always fatal. The failure to respond intelligently often is. When trust takes a blow, salespeople must stop operating on autopilot. They must think on their feet, recognise the customer's unspoken concern and alter the conversation to address it. That means apologising properly, explaining the error, presenting evidence of credibility and connecting the company's strengths to the buyer's specific doubts. Do not hide the mistake. Do not minimise it. Do not rush past it in the hope that the customer will forget. The customer may never mention the trust issue directly. They may remain polite, accept the brochure and finish the meeting normally. Internally, however, they may have already removed you from consideration. Trust can take years to establish and only a moment to damage. When that moment arrives, recovery must become the salesperson's first priority.

In Australia, the country's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is toughing out a storm over comments he made about a gift from his Japanese counterpart. Australia correspondent Nick Grimm spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Henry Winter, football journalist, reports on the ongoing saga of FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his plans to open the World Cup up to private investors.

In his comment, Clement Manyathela argues that News24's admission, via editor-in-chief Adriaan Basson's opinion piece, that it wasn't hard enough on Andrea Johnson and IDAC doesn't go far enough. He says the real problem wasn't insufficient scrutiny but a deliberate, premeditated decision by News24's senior editors to ignore overwhelming evidence against Johnson, pointing to opinion pieces like Pieter du Toit's "The Crucifixion of Andrea Johnson," which he says unfairly likened the commissioners' conduct to a witch hunt despite their professionalism.

There are two types of people in the world. There are the ones who think Prime Minister Christopher Luxon shouldn't be apologising for what he said to business owners at a meeting in Rotorua the other day. And there are the ones who think he should. And I'm one of them. Because what he said was so dismissive and so tone deaf, that he had no other option but to apologise. Which he did yesterday. What happened, is the Prime Minister was at a business breakfast in Rotorua organised by the local Chamber of Commerce. Which, you would think, would be the type of gathering where there'd be absolutely no chance of him putting his foot in it. Because business people are his people, aren't they? But he did. And, quite rightly, he has apologised. Because if I was one of those business owners at that event, I would be furious. It happened when the Rotorua Business Chamber's Melanie Short stood up and said the city had experienced the “sharpest fall” in business confidence in almost a decade. She said: “The affordability of doing business, it's getting harder and harder. How long can we hang on?” Christopher Luxon, though, wasn't having any of that sort of talk. He told her that her view was “quite negative”. He said New Zealand businesses needed to move away from a “parent-child mentality” of waiting to see what the government is going to do for them. “Who cares what the government will think or do?”, he said. Which I thought was a staggering comment to make, considering he is the leader of a political party that bangs on all the time about National being the party for business people. Thankfully, the Chamber of Commerce boss wasn't going to be shut down and went on to tell him about the Chamber's Business Pulse survey, that's done twice a year. She told him that the latest survey had found optimism among members in relation to where the economy is going had dropped 62 percent. And that members' confidence in their own businesses had dropped 43 percent. And that they were absorbing a lot of the rising costs they're dealing with, rather than passing them on. Because business is down enough, without giving customers more reasons not to buy their products or use their services. But Luxon was having none of it. He told the people in the room that, if they weren't “retooling and radically disrupting” their businesses then “you ain't doing your job”. He said he knew the reality of running a business. And said when he was, “the last person I wanted to ever talk to as a CEO was the government.” He said: “I'm a business person. I'm building a kick-ass company that actually has commercially superior returns, great customer experience and awesome internal culture.” And he went on to say that, when he returned to New Zealand after working overseas, he found that business people here had a “parent-child mentality” and were too hung up on what the government was going to do for them rather than just getting on with it. He said: “Who cares what the government thinks or does? Our job is to be adult, adult, adult”. Telling his audience to “go out there and smack it and go create the road”. Over the weekend, his office was complaining that his comments hadn't been reported accurately. But, by late yesterday, he realised he'd put his foot in it and apologised. As he had to do. Because, even though he's a former chief executive of Air New Zealand and even though he's had very senior roles with Unilever in Canada and the U.S., Christopher Luxon has never done what most of those people in that business breakfast have done. He has never started or owned his own business. He's been the highest paid employee of some big business organisations, but he's got no experience of opening or running a business of his own. Particularly, a small business. Which most businesses in this country are. Which, apparently, are best represented by the party Christopher Luxon leads.

The weird thing about Winston Peters is that, when he's overseas, he's all Henry Kissinger or Kofi Annan on it. The ultimate diplomat. But then he comes back here, goes through Customs, and turns into Nigel Farage. Which is why, on one hand, we shouldn't be all that surprised by the appalling things he said to Chinese-born Green MP Lawrence Xu-Nan. Comments which, quite rightly, are being described as racist. And which he needs to apologise for. Politicians across the political spectrum are saying the same thing - including some of his own coalition colleagues. National's Simeon Brown is one of them. Because, of course, telling someone to go back to where they came from is racist. It's also dumb, when this person you're accusing of only being here five minutes - as Winston Peters did - has lived here more than 30 years. Christopher Luxon, though, is being Christopher Luxon. At least he isn't taking Winston's side, but the strongest thing he seems too capable of saying is that Winston Peters has a long track record of making inappropriate comments. And that what he said was “unhelpful”. Which just plays into those tired old excuses that some people keep making for the NZ First leader. You know: “Oh, that's old Winston up to his usual tricks”. And, yes, he is up to his usual tricks. But is that an excuse for such appalling, antiquated behaviour? Not in my book. And that's why he has to apologise. He can't be sacked as Foreign Affairs Minister. So he has to apologise.So how this all started, is that Peters was speaking in Parliament's debating chamber and this Green MP - who was born in China and moved here when he was a child in 1994 - started a bit of the usual heckling that MPs on all sides of the House like to do. Peters was talking about the Covid inquiry and Lawrence Xu-Nan called out, asking if he was vaccinated.Winston wasn't happy about that and said: “Go back to your own country. You only came here just five minutes ago. Go back to your own country, that's where they lie like a flat fish. But they don't lie like that here, alright. This is what we call democracy.” Saying: “This is called a democracy, unlike what you're used to.” Not surprisingly, China isn't happy. And former Trade Minister and former Speaker of the House Sir Lockwood Smith says that's going to be a bit of a problem. Because China now knows how he feels about our biggest trading partner. The other thing, is that if racism isn't tolerated anywhere else - if it isn't tolerated at schools and universities and at workplaces - then why should it be tolerated at Parliament? Answer is: it shouldn't. What's more, the Human Rights Commissions says this on its website: “In 1972, New Zealand signed up to the UN's International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. This requires the government to take action to eliminate racism and racial discrimination and promote understanding between all races in Aotearoa New Zealand.” For now, Winston Peters is part of New Zealand's government - one of its most senior ministers - and, as part of that government, he is obliged to honour this commitment. And, instead of pushing back and saying that those of us who think he's behaving like an out-of-touch fossil are just pearl clutchers indulging in faux outrage, Winston Peters needs to pull his head in and apologise.

This week, Ed Balls and George Osborne hear from a current and former Member of Parliament. Former Tory minister Greg Clark asks if Andy Burnham's pledge for ‘devolution in every postcode' is attainable, while Starmer loyalist John Slinger puts forward his proposals for a ‘youth triple lock' to improve prospects for young people in the UK. Should there be guarantees on above-inflation maintenance loans and free bus travel? And should there be youth advisors in all government departments? Ed and George praise the initiative behind the idea.The pair also hear from a London cyclist frustrated by a council's ban on Lime bikes, the question is: has some devolution given away too much control? George recalls his approaches to devolution during the coalition government, while Ed evaluates the regulation of e-bike rentals.And lastly, Ed and George explain why politicians resist apologising - citing Nick Clegg's now infamous apology on student loans as an example. Can senior politicians ever recover from apologising about a decision they have made?We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question or send a question to our social media handles:

On this episode of She Rises, we’re breaking down what a real apology actually looks like and why saying “sorry” is often the smallest part of it. We explore the different ways to apologise with integrity, from taking accountability and changing behaviour to repairing trust and addressing the root of your actions. Because emotional maturity isn’t about getting it perfect, it’s about being willing to own your impact and grow from it. This episode is a conversation about self-leadership, responsibility, and becoming someone others can feel safe with. Simple. Practical. Necessary. Tune in!

Tanya Hennessy had just begun her seventh round of IVF when she joined the Stellar podcast last April. Just weeks after we recorded that episode, she found out she was pregnant. On December 20, five days before Christmas, Tanya’s long-awaited first child, a baby girl named Scottie – whose full name is Scotland Jack Poole – was born and she was thrust into the beautiful chaos of new motherhood, while dealing with the surreal realisation that she was finally holding her baby in her arms. In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Tanya shares the meaning behind her daughter’s unconventional name, explains why she waited so long to announce her pregnancy, and reflects on the complex feelings she is grappling with now that her dream of becoming a mother has finally come true. Tanya's new children's book Sunny And Storm (Penguin, $14.99) is out March 3 and available to pre-order now. Watch the full episode with Tanya here.

STARMER SHOULD APOLOGISE — NOT SIR JIM RATCLIFFE  #Starmer #SirJimRatcliffe #IllegalMigration#Brexit #BorderChaos #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #LiveShow #UKPolitics  Let's get this straight from the off. Keir Starmer has got some cheek. Some brass neck. The man who never apologises suddenly wants one from Jim Ratcliffe? You couldn't make it up. Starmer — Mr Flip-Flop, Mr U-Turn, Mr "I Didn't Really Mean That" — is now posing as the nation's moral referee. Fifteen U-turns. Fifteen. On policy, principle, and promises. Has he apologised once? Has he heck. Not to pensioners. Not to voters. Not to the people he's taken for mugs. And while he's busy wagging his finger at Sir Jim, let's talk about the apology Britain actually deserves. Because the entire political class — Labour, Tory, the lot of them — owe the British people a massive apology for the abject failure on illegal migration. Years of chaos. Billions wasted. Borders that exist in name only. And what do we get? Lectures. Excuses. And being told we're wrong for noticing. Sir Jim didn't say anything outrageous. He said what millions of people are thinking but Westminster is too frightened to admit. People are fed up. Fed up of being ignored. Fed up of being patronised. Fed up of being told to shut up and accept it. Immigration. Brexit. National sovereignty. These aren't fringe obsessions — they're the issues voters keep shouting about while politicians stick their fingers in their ears.  And here's the bit that really rattles them: the polls are coming. The next set will show it again. Ordinary Brits aren't buying the spin anymore. They don't want apologies demanded from businessmen who speak plainly — they want accountability from politicians who never do. So no, Sir Jim doesn't owe the country an apology. Keir Starmer does. And until he finds the courage to say sorry — properly, honestly, and without a lawyered-up script — he might want to stop lecturing the rest of us about decency. Because people are watching. People are angry. And this time, they're not being ignored.  Keir Starmer, Starmer apology, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, immigration crisis, UK illegal migration ,Labour u turns, political class failure, Brexit betrayal, border chaos, British voters ignored, Westminster elites, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, Live, UK politics, immigration, free speech UK, #KeirStarmer #Starmer #SirJimRatcliffe #ImmigrationCrisis #IllegalMigration #LabourUTurns #PoliticalClass #Brexit #BorderChaos #BritainIgnored #Westminster #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #JonGauntStyle #Live #LiveShow #UKPolitics #EnoughIsEnough  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.
