The Trusted Sales Authority

Guest post by: Phil Johnson

Article Overview: Become the trusted authority by out caring the competition and become customer obsessed. Individuals and organizations with low levels of emotional intelligence can not do this. Consumers would pay 5 to 25% more to ensure a superior customer experience (Customer Service Impact 2010 Report, published by RightNow).

The Trusted Sales Authority

Apple has exploded as a company because they are The Trusted Authority within their market and their customers have become advocates. Caring first, not selling builds your personal and organizational brand. If you are not The Trusted Authority you are a commodity.

Your client’s biggest opportunities go to The Trusted Authority. By offering your authentic service in a way that increases your client’s capability you create value for them. When you use your abilities to solve a problem for someone or enable them to capture an opportunity you earn a level of trust and respect. This allows you to create even more value as the relationship deepens. You become The Trusted Authority your client calls first when they are in need.

Warm market clients come back and bring their friends. Your "best customer" is the person who brings you new customers through frequent referrals and who sticks with you through thick and thin. That customer is worth far more than what they might pay you in any one transaction.
