FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Knowledge
and understanding, not asking questions and listening, build trust with
customers. (New York) Research from the newly released book “Selling 2.0” has discovered that customers most trust salespeople who exhibit high levels of knowledge and understanding about both their own products and the customers business and needs. This runs contrary to the “conventional wisdom” that trust building occurs when salespeople ask good questions and listen attentively. When asked which characteristics of salespeople most build
trust with customers, salespeople picked being a good listener as their top
choice. Buyers gave this criteria relatively low rating. While asking questions
and listening, can result
in understanding and knowledge, they
alone are not the trust builders sales people think that they are. If lots of
good questions get asked understanding develops ultimately trust is lost.
