Successful Sales and Personal Marketing

“Creating an environment where an act of faith can take place.”


Credibility

• Being seen as a peer and business person not simply transaction focused.

• Asking intelligent questions– Doing our research– Having a “natural” process for needs analysis

• Being passionate and confident in:• Our self• Our company• Our industry• Our solution

• Keep Commitments


In Most Transactions

“If two people do not like and respect each other ... the

details won’t matter because there probably

won’t be a transaction”


Myth“Use

relationship skills

to get the deal”

Today’s Truth

“The relationship is

the deal!”


What “do you” or “would you” expect, or want, from someone close to you in a

long term relationship?e.g. Spouse, significant other,

boyfriend, girlfriend, son, daughter, business partner


What do you expect or want in your own personal banking relationships for you to be very happy in

the long term as a customer?

after a solid “NO” from a potential client - they stop calling
