Relationship Selling 101

Building and implementing a relationship-based sales strategy starts with understanding the various components and then choosing the right mix, best for your customers.

Here are the top three best practices in relationship selling that drive revenue:

1. Know your customers – their needs, goals, and frustrations. Create unique ways to capture, track, and retain that information.
2. Show that you’re listening – use the “know your customer” data to design custom and personalized solutions for your customers.
3. Keep it going – considering your customers’ experience, take action steps to extend the relationship (in terms of retention).
