    Connecting with clients is like making a connection with your sales reps. The crucial thing is to establish “trust” on the first impression – only then will your relationship get moving and actually go somewhere.

    There are several ways to captivate a client and turn him or her into a fan. You could make small deposits into his or her “Trust Account”, like you do with your sales reps. Or you could interest him or her by talking big in a clear and visual way, Robert Goizueta-style.
