A simple message
For Sales and Business Development professionals
Fact 1
The sale of complex services and products relies as much on the level of trust in the relationship between the buyer and seller as it does on features and price.
Fact 2
Sellers are under pressure to sell something RIGHT NOW. This puts immense pressure on the seller, who often has to choose whether to push to make a sale now (at any cost), or demonstrate a willingness to build a trusting relationship, maybe even at the expense of making a sale today.
The BIG question
Why does the choice have to be one or the other – sale now, or trusting relationship and maybe no sale???
The surprisingly simple answer
Sellers need a professional skill-set, a consistent mindset, and clear, simple tools to speed up the process of relationship-building, so that they can make sales now, while building immediate rapport and developing sustainable, trust-based, high-value business relationships.
… and don’t kid yourself. In today’s markets, good social skills are just not enough!
