This document summarizes a study that analyzed customer experiences during inbound sales calls to two companies. Mystery shoppers called each company and rated their trust in the company and described their expected experience before and after the call. For one company, trust declined after the call as the experience reinforced negative associations. For the other company, trust improved as the call added positive associations. The analysis identifies specific aspects of each experience that impacted the six drivers of trust in the HuTrust model. The findings can be used to immediately improve high trust customer experiences through process, training, and marketing changes.
