In this segment of the YouTube video “The Secret to Building Real Trust,” Richmond Dinh explains that while competency has long been his primary focus, it should be considered equally important alongside marketing and sales for building lasting brand trust. He argues that competency creates a long‑term brand and fosters enduring relationships, using the metaphor of “100‑year friends” versus “100 friends fast.” Dinh emphasizes a vision for his venture, Point One, that prioritizes sustainable, high‑trust connections over quick, superficial gains.

Then I've since learned that that's not the most important thing, but I've believed that that is the most important thing. And I don't want to take that belief away, I just want to add on to it that that is probably equally important as marketing and sales.
But, you know, but your big thing for so long has been competency is what—
Yeah, I believe competency builds a long-term brand. So I have a very long-term vision of Point One in life in general, and I just know that Like friendships, you can cheat people once or twice or 3 times, but eventually you're not gonna have a 20-year friend. But you, with competency, you won't get the 100 friends fast, but you'll have the 100-year friends. I'm looking for 100-year friends, not 100 friends fast.
