2) How to Open a Sales Call. Developing Customer Rapport.

Customer relationships are the bedrock of most businesses. The Sales Opening is a strategic step in developing that relationship. Building client rapport along with presenting a strong impact statement lays the foundation for establishing the profit-driven environment needed for collaborative selling — which provides value to both the sales rep and the prospect. A strong sales opening also provides the opportunity to initiate the trust required to sustain the budding customer relationship.
