Why Relate?

Trust is critical to the sales process. Over 88% of business buyers ultimately do business with a representative regarded as a ‘trusted advisor’*.  Most representatives are not viewed as trustworthy and trust is increasingly difficult to build, according to 75% of executives**. How customers demand to be engaged is structurally shifting and the consequence of losing trust is growing more severe among younger cohorts of buyers.
