RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
EARNING CONFIDENCE

"The success of the other guy is essential to my own". In other words, each person is dependent upon the other for their success and well being.
Reputation is the branding result of the quality and skill of your relationships.
Reputation = Relationship
The quality of your relationships is more critical today because online and email creates transient relationships.
Relationships and Reputation drives CONFIDENCE.
Failure in building relationships breeds mistrust.
Without CONFIDENCE, there can be no transaction.
A business decision and transaction is often one where a choice is made between a number of competing options. Forming a business relationship is part of the process of establishing a preference. This preference is ultimately based on confidence.
COURTESY BEGETS CONFIDENCE. Being courteous inspires others to be courteous.
Companies fail because they fail to manage RELATIONSHIPS, and connot create CONFIDENCE in the other person's mind.
[ "I DON'T KNOW YOU." MCGRAW HILL. ]
Companies and people succeed because they are viewed as centers for knowledge and EXCELLENCE. They work at being EXCELLENT AT RELATIONSHIPS. Nothing/Noone is taken for granted.
PURCHASING procedures have changed today. It is, therefore, important to understand that the quality and skill of your relationships can create a significant competitive advantage.
Contracts are given to people and companies who are trusted.
BEST PRACTICES
More business is lost because of neglect than is sold.
"Why did you lose it?"
All businesses need to be innovative. They need to look at their markets and say what do we need to do to be better so we can compete more effectively. What are the innovations that would help you and your company compete more effectively.
Bridging the "confidence gap" through a Best Practices program that focuses on EXCELLENCE is an innovation that help you to compete more effectively.
EXCELLENCE in relationships must be a Strategic Committment from the very Top Executive. Being an "EXCELLENCE" DRIVEN CEO.
