Here is the start of Introduction to Relationship Selling…
The year was 1969, the place was Little Rock, Arkansas. I was a 22-year old salesman still wet behind the ears with no prior experience or training. It was the end of the month and our motorcycle dealership could earn a special bonus award if we would just sell a few more bikes before the end of the business day. An acquaintance of mine who wanted to get back into motorcycling came in after work and test rode one of our best models. It was a Suzuki T120 dual-purpose bike, one good for off road as well as street riding. We had a special reduced price on that model that was only in effect until the end of that day. He was in a position to buy it and the product suited his needs. I was the salesman, but I wasn’t selling. In fact, I was pushing! Without knowing any other way, I pressured and cajoled the prospect until he finally left in frustration.Upon reflection I realize that my selling style was not only too pushy, but it also made me appear too desperate to make the sale. What I saw as a “sense of urgency” was seen by the prospective buyer as a desperate attempt to get the sale now. But, the real problem was not my pushiness; my pushiness was a symptom of the underlying problem: my mindset. I was focused on selling the motorcycle, not on helping the customer decide to buy.

Sales Readiness: How Preparation Leads to Opportunity…
A rowing team works as one seamless unit, yet is made up of unique individuals. In order for it to be successful, this team must have the complete commitment of each of its members. They must immerse themselves in the activity of rowing and release their individual interests and concerns so that the group can work as one.The same is true for sales competence. Many different skills are required in order to excel in sales. One must be able to manage oneself, target the right prospective customers, marshal the resources that will help make the sale, communicate clearly and convincingly, connect with all types of people, and much more. But in order for a salesperson to sustain a successful sales career, all these skills must work in concert. It is not enough to merely be strong in a few areas.

Here is the start of Finding the Buyers…
There is an old saying that you can’t sell refrigerators to Eskimos. The reasoning behind this motto is that many Eskimos, at least those who live in Alaska, reside in such a cold environment that they don’t need refrigeration. After all, if your home is an igloo made of ice, what good is refrigeration?But I maintain that you CAN sell refrigerators to people who live in the ice and snow. Just not for the same reason that the rest of the world would buy them. What people in California need is a machine that will produce the cold for them. What residents of the Arctic need is a machine that will protect their food and maintain an even temperature. Cold they have; it is control that they need.

Here is the start of Connecting With Your Customer…
In 1994, I had the opportunity to visit the White House with a small group of professional speakers. At the end of the tour, our group came to the foyer and while we were standing there my wife Paula said, “Oh my gosh, here he comes.”We looked across the room and sure enough, there came the President of the United States. At that time it was Bill Clinton. He walked over and spent about ten minutes with our group, one-on-one, chatting with each of us. Someone in the group mentioned that we were professional speakers and commented that President Clinton, too, was in many ways a professional speaker. At that time Clinton looked directly at me and he said, “Half of my job is keeping people in the right frame of mind.”

Here is the start of Sales Psychology…
There is an old saying that “knowledge is power.” But while a little knowledge may go a long way, this motto is no longer completely accurate when it comes to the world of Relationship Selling™. In the 21st Century world of sales, it is all about trust. Trust is power. Being able to trust a person or company to do what they say they will do is pure gold in today’s marketplace. When was the last time you wasted a big portion of your day just trying to get people to do what they said they would do and do it well?In any situation where two equally qualified options exist, the person or product that is most trusted will always win. When two people attempt to win an account, the one who appears to be most trustworthy will have the edge.
