Hi Topgunb,

From A Psyc standpoint

Men relate to & trust Men

Women relate to & trust Women

I don't trust either of those groups

To answer your question JaniG, I wouldn't differentiate. I would just listen to their words and base my decision purely on that.

We'd all like to think that, but we're also all wrong. Everyone has bias. It's a question of whether you recognise it and are trying to compensate, or refuse to acknowledge it and make excuses for it.

I'm more critical of women in presentations than I am of men. I know this, and I try to compensate for it on both ends: I deliberately try to be more critical of men, and slack off a little bit on the women.

I may, of course, be overcompensating and introducing a pro-woman bias. I try not to, but it's almost impossible to be perfectly impartial.

Thanks

I think the biasness is a good point. I agree it's often very subconscious too, hence the ability or inability to be able to recognise it. Some people have faces that may remind you of someone you like or don't like, some peoples voice may be pleasing to you. There must be a ton of subconscious things going on, most people don't recognise.

One other thing is the fact that a lot of presentations are ultimately attempting to bend your mind towards a certain product, that may or may not be of use to you. The fact that many people, especially marketers, are aware something is a sales pitch, will bring about a totally different biasness of mistrust, before they've even thought about what sex the presenter is, if they even do that on a conscious level.

Lastly to answer the question from the OP - I don't think I've ever seen seen a presentation and consciously thought "oooh it's a woman/man, I feel much more comfortable with this". It's much deeper than that, for me anyway.

Thanks

The only instance in which I think gender would play a significant role is when the product/site being marketed is pretty much gender specific. This only applies to IM products in rare cases, such as the WAHM (work at home mom) sites that are specifically targeted toward mothers who are trying to work from home.

Hi Jani G,

As long as the information is useful for me I will go through the whole video. Still I have another view point. If you have a site for "work at home moms" It would be more relevant and trustworthy to present a women in a video.

From a personal point of view i feel that women are the most trustworthy but men can also come across well too.

Also sometimes it doesn't really matter as on most occassions it's the product that speaks for itself.

I think it depends on the person very much. If you have a hippie-looking person promoting a financial product you wouldn't get your customer to trust you I guess.

Credibility comes first I think, gender somewhere thereafter.

I don't trust people based on their sex. I trust or don't trust based on their honesty. It's not hard to spot a line of BS to me.

Not sure about the gender thing...

More to do with the verbiage used IMO.

I suspect women don't like things like: Killer, Explosive, Dominate, Navy-Seal Commando etc.

Unless of course you're selling an ebook on orgasms... in which case they may be appropriate.

Hi Jani G

I personally believe it falls on the content they are delivering and how they delivery it.
I think we have probably all had experience of trusting and mistrusting either sex and not just in the IM niche.

Sure, if you're in any of the working mum niches or how to get your ex boyfriend back it would be obvious to have a woman present it, but that doesn't automatically mean you can trust them, or the same for niches that are targeted at men.

To keep safe We have to judge on individual credentials.

All the best....Peter

Thanks

I don't think that gender would play a significant role at all in determining my trust. There are several cases in which gender might make a difference, especially if you were promoting a relationship/dating product that is targeted towards a certain gender. Other than that, I'd say that for the most part gender would not really be a factor in influencing trust.

Neither of the two genders. I don't easily trust someone in the Internet actually.

I would first look closely at the person's personality based on his/her styles and moves, and facial expressions. But this does not apply at all times, there are those who look very trustworthy yet do deceive badly.

If I'd be given a chance to observe and know more on the person or the product, I would definitely grab the chance.

Well, our conscious tells us that we don't differentiate but most of the time, our subconscious proof otherwise. Don't believe? Tests shows that Women's pictures on FB ads outpull Men's pictures. Also, the prettier the women, the better.

OP, you can try running a test with both gender and decide. Our opinions will never win facts....

I agree - gender-based stereotyping is most often subconscious, as most stereotyping is. Males are more likely to trust males and females are more likely to trust females, BUT on the other hand it has been shown that using females in your ads is the most effective, not so much because of trust but because you listen to them more or something.

When I'm buying things from an e-commerce site, I look for trust symbols (about us page, testimonials, security logos, professional site, etc).

When I'm buying things from more "people-focused" site (salesletters), I don't trust anybody, regardless of gender. The only thing that compels me to buy is whether or not I have recourse. If I have to go through THEM to get a refund, I'm a little less likely to buy. If I can use clickbank, I'll buy without question if the product looks good.

The only exceptions is where people actually write content on their sites that lets you get to know them. And I'm not talking about pre-launch content, I'm talking about actual content. An example would be Shoemoney.com.

  Thanks for the reply's.
  
  Yes i think even though many of you are saying that you consiously do not buy based on Gender. I think from a subconscious standpoint, we tend to lean towards a woman image more, even though we do not know it.
  
  This is for an IM product I have coming out next year for a client of mine.
  
  I guess testing would be the best answer

Personally it makes no difference to me, but I have heard some people say it really depends on what product is being advertised. Women might seem better for certain products.

Well there's a lot of talk about differentiating and our subconscious minds, etc. But to tell you the truth, with 15 years of internet knowledge and 10 years of being self-employed working as a freelance designer/developer; not to mention having purchase almost all the big IM courses and products out there, it doesn't take me long to know what your selling and usually who you've learned it from.

I'm not of the group that women know more than men, or the other way around. Just listen to people talk, carefully, and you usually can get a feel about them.

As long as the video is "voice only", it doesn't really matter to me. I'm however a bit disinclined to the idea of hot women doing sales videos, because they tend to draw the attention away from the product itself (same goes for too handsome men & women customers).

I really can't say either way, it just depends on the tone.

For example, yesterday I clicked on one of those text banners at the top of Warrior Forum and it was a video with a woman's voice and I clicked away 2 seconds later as the first image was a gun and she was starting to say something about having a gun to your head, I think, which I found incredibly stupid and tacky for anything related to IM. Not gonna hold my interested with ridiculous tactics like that. So, I was not impressed by that woman at all. But if it had been a guy's voice, I would clicked away as well.

It really just depends on the tone.

I trust anyone who gives me (or my close friend) any reason for me (or my friend) to trust him or her.

Yes, I can trust you, male or female, if my trusted friend trusts you. And I will trust you more if my close friend trusts you more.

Trust is earned; it's not a sentimental thing especially in this virtual world.

As a man myself I would actually say women, but I would be more likely to by from a man. I would probably overall listen more to the women, especially if she is good looking or has a pleasant voice, but in the end I don´t think my subconscious can accept that a women directs where I should put my money ^^ If a man actually manage to get my trust, I would on the other hand be more likely to buy from him.

when reading sales materials, i don't try to find out first if it's a man or a woman. it doesn't matter. as long as the material looks ok and convincing, it can be a candidate for me. but it's different with dealing online. although most of my transactions online involved with women who are really trustworthy, thankfully, i have observed that most scams, etc really involve women. even in the lists of scammers, they're usually women. and oh! they can always get away with it and strike again. they don't care and they don't ind being caught. no offense intended. just my point of view.

In my experience I trust men more. But Im a man & I have a feeling men handle complex things better & are more efficient in IM in a bit more ratio.

Though there are very succesful women in IM but I feel their number is less compared to the number of men.

I trust men more . But I've bought products of many women IMers since they proved their strength,capabilities & their product's benefits in the sales video. Also I had the 30day guarantee as backup incase if I was not satisfied about the product or service once inside membership area.
