Establishing good business relationships is extremely important for any successful business person and even more important when working with different representatives.
These are the people and institutions that you'll be
working with, that are responsible for assigning the
contracts that need to be serviced in your area.
Effectively establishing these good relationships
is one
of the most important things you can do to set
your business up for long term success.
These representatives and agents can literally make or break your business and they determine if you are
accepted as a vendor.
One way to do this is to make sure that you ask the
person you are speaking with some personal questions to get to know them on a deeper more personal level as time progresses.
You can do this very easily by just asking questions like:
* How long have you been in your profession?
* How did you get into your profession?
* What do you like best about your profession?
I know this sounds simple, but almost nobody stops to take the time to do this.
I have personally used this simple
technique to take loads of business from other companies that have been in business for many years longer than I.
I know it works and will work for you as well.
In fact, this is one of the best techniques used by all
successful businesses today.
It allows the people that you do business with to remember that you are a person aside from just doing business.
It's called building a strong relationship
