Closing the Trust Gap: Why Prospects Don't Believe You

The Bill Caskey Podcast · 2026-04-02 · 16 min

Episode notes

Most salespeople jump straight into questions, pitches, and proposals - without ever addressing the elephant in the room: your prospect doesn't trust you yet. In this episode, Bill Caskey shares a segment from a recent interview where he breaks down the "trust gap" - that invisible wall between seller and buyer that kills deals before they start. Then Bill goes deeper, offering four practical ways to close that gap fast: asking what prospects want from the meeting, laying out the process upfront, staying psychologically safe, and checking in consistently throughout. If you're tired of being treated like just another vendor in a spreadsheet, this episode is your blueprint.
