August 14, 2009 11:45 a.m.- 1 p.m.
Every sales professional knows that the ability to differentiate themselves from their competitors is key to sales success. But differentiation is not always product or service based. The ability to create trust-based relationships often trumps a better business-based deal presented by your most worthy competitor.
Listen to real-world and practical tips and principles any sales professional can employ to:
- Consciously and consistently build and maintain positive business relationships
- Put the human factor back into contact management
- Increase the depth and breadth of client connections
