12 Ways to Strengthen Your Sales Relationships with Clients

Building a rapport with your sales clients benefits both parties.

A salesperson will be able to develop a fine-tuned recognition of their client’s needs. In turn, the client will be more involved in the sales process and gain perspective on all of the relevant logistics. But like any other relationship, you’ll need to be dedicated to the journey before you can arrive at your desired destination. Mark Hunter of The Sales Hunter shares a few ways you can improve the connection between you and your clients:

• Relate to the client’s personality and adjust yours accordingly. If they seem gun-shy, don’t overwhelm them. When they’re reluctant, you should be actively selling.
• Respond to your clients core needs, don’t ignore them. You can easily miss telltale deal-breakers when you stick too closely to your pitch. Focus more on your client than your sale.
