How to be a Professional Salesperson.©
Free Sales Training Video Series – Like. Trust. Buy
This phrase is used, or should be, by every successful salesperson on the planet. For many aspects of life, there is a certain order in which things flow. Grass seeds must be planted before they pop up and make a beautiful lawn. We learn to walk before we run. And so it is with sales. People need to like us before they trust us. People need to trust us before they will buy from us. Don’t confuse “like” here the way your best friend likes you; although that may end up being the case. Like, in the sales context, really means establishing a good business rapport. You are someone with whom your prospect “likes” speaking with and meeting.
You never trust someone you don’t like. It’s contrary to human nature. There’s probably something about that person that just rubs you the wrong way. Maybe you perceived them as pushy, or they made an inappropriate joke thinking it was funny. Your perception of them, whether you realized it or not, was that they did not have the same values as you. There is no like and no rapport here.
