      WESTERVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Only 24% of Americans think salespeople are credible in what they say and do, according to a 2023 market research study, The State of Credibility in America.

      In this environment where credibility is crucial, SalesFuel announces the launch of SalesCred® PRO, a new solution designed to help salespeople build sales credibility. SalesCred PRO aims to help users change negative perceptions by providing essential tools for sales professionals, entrepreneurs, solo practitioners, marketers, and anyone working in a sensitive industry that requires a high need for trust.

      American State of Credibility study, 2023 – Methodology

      SalesFuel conducted its second State of Credibility study in September 2023. The sample consisted of self-reported U.S. adults who were screened to mirror the U.S. adult population in terms of age group, gender, race, and ethnicity. 1,405 U.S. adults completed our 10-minute online survey on the credibility of various professions and what factors influence it, which can be valuable information for businesses and professionals who aim to build trust with their customers and clients. They also responded to questions about the credibility of their CEO, others in their workplace and the output from AI. The findings from this study can help in developing strategies to enhance the credibility of individuals and organizations in their respective fields.
