Let’s talk relationships.

What is your path to success?


The customer relationship is all

that’s left.

Think about a great customer experience. What made that

experience so good?

Creating Success Isn’t Easy

  Some of us are executing best practices, but it’s complex, time consuming, and can take away from core selling time.

  Some of us know what to do, but not how to do it.

  Others have very few new ideas of how to build the business.


Relationship strategy: delivers a repeatable and scalable process that leverages relationship (rather than price and product) to sell more now.

MD Management: Relationship Program

 Business as usual was not working  “Product performance” message falls on deaf

ears over time  Traditional approach has been for Sales to

cold-call unrelated to other Marketing activity  Opportunity to rethink the way we prospect –

use an offer of information to earn the right to a sales conversation.

(All testable. All with existing budgets.)

listened.


Offer your customers help in making their purchase decision

tools to guide them.


Use your administrative contact (e.g. a statement mailing) to collect

actionable feedback.


Present your customers with a “no-strings-attached” value

program.


Give your customers access to experts who can help them.


Have every salesperson ask two key questions in their next sales

call. Take action on what they hear.
