Building Better Customer Relationships 

This quote being true, it’s no wonder that customer relationships are at the heart of sales. In order to get someone to buy from you, you must first get them to like you. Unfortunately, many sales professionals try to take the “easy way out” when it comes to connecting with customers. They might try to appease their prospect by feeding them compliments or sweet nothings. Usually, customers can see right through these superficial “relationship-building” tactics. To the customer, it’s obvious that the sales professional is only trying to appease them in order to get what they want from them—the sale. This superficial way of building relationships is manipulative at its core and is not relationship-building at all.
