You need some basic things:
- a physical business address/location- the reply email and from needs to be for the business represented in the email, and it needs to exist at that business's domain which typically you own or are authorized to promote.- a clear and working unsubscribe (opt-out) mechanism- typically the recipients have to have opted-in to a list you manage, but a lot of times at places like trade fairs, the attendees opt-in for all the vendors at sign-in, so in those cases you need to include a legal disclaimer about how the trade fair obtained opt-in permission for them to receive information from your business.- you also need to be ethical in your messaging by not being deceptive in your offer, subject line, nor content, and notate in the email that it is an advertisement

The most visually engaging element on your homepage is your rotating hero graphics and none of them have a call to action nor do they link anywhere. This is a missed opportunity that should be remedied. I usually recommend that a hero correspond to a main section of your site that you want to drive traffic to. Instead of the conceptual heroes you currently have, you would be better served with heroes specifically for Workshops, Case Studies, and a Featured Article. Broad based statements do not have impact unless you can back them up, especially if you are targeting high level executives & upper management. As an executive, and I saw these statements in a pitch, you are going to need to tell me how I can have increased profitability and employee engagement. I am going to want to know how you plan to do that, so you need to back up statements like that with stats or other proof. You also need to tell your visitors what you want them to do, especially with this particular service. Under each workshop on the homepage, you should have a CTA like “Learn more about this workshop”, “Click here to schedule this for your organization”. On the workshops, if you have any kind of participant feedback it would be good to showcase that. A video sampling for each one of the workshops that can drive a little more engagement would be great to do. This would help communicate what these workshops entail. After this is all fixed, which my agency can do, you probably need to couple that with a targeted PPC campaign, promotional landing pages geared towards the actual decision makers that plan these types of events, and promote social engagement from your workshop participants. Continue to make the personal connections, but also encourage participants to help you grow those connections for you.

Convey Trust
If a customer trusts you, they will buy from you, advertise for you, and return to you. If they don’t trust you, they will buy from somewhere else, slander your brand, and never return. Convey trust to reassure your customers that the decision they are making is the right one.
Almost all the answers help to convey trust in some way, shape or fashion. Al Haywood mentions SSL, which brings Security to the browser. This is extremely important in eCommerce, and especially in web applications that save & track personal information.
Numerous people mention conversions, good luck converting customers that do not trust your brand, so IMO conversions are a positive effect of conveying trust. Ted Cantu mentions websites that don’t inform, teach, nor sell. This is exactly what all websites should do to convey trust. Inform a visitor of your purpose in 3 seconds like Michelle Hummel says. Teach visitors about your services and sell them on reasons they should trust you over the competition.
Dinos Hamalis is all about professionalism & credibility which is marque to conveying trust. Straight shooter Bill Martin wants us to know his way of conveying trust to customers at Wine Country Gift Baskets is to simply be there ready to take customer orders.
This was a great exercise and I appreciate all the input. Greg Newell, we’ll be here banging on the easy button to see if that can make the phone magically ring. And when that stops working, we are going to hit up our current clients for trustimonials, because we know that is one of the best ways to make the phone ring.
