About the course

Course overview

[one_half padding=”0 20px 0 0″]

Building trust with your clients is the basis for gaining their ongoing loyalty. Without it, you are likely to have only short-lived transactional relationships, creating by an urgent pressure to find ever more new clients.

If you want to build a loyal customer base that transforms your business results, it’s vital that you know how to build trusting relationships. You’ve probably heard the expression ‘people buy from people’. And experience bears this out: In order to maximise sales opportunities with your clients and potential clients, building trusting person-to-person relationships is fundamental.

Your behaviour with your clients, your integrity, and your track record of delivering on your promises in the past will define how successful you are when winning contracts, new clients and new business in the future.

To gain the trust of others, exceptional salespeople ensure they can trust themselves first. This programme will build your understanding of what is required to build trust, and provides a process you can apply to start building trust with your clients immediately. It also explores how to flex your style, approach and offering to match the preferences of different clients.
