Let's kick off the week with some #MondayMotivation from #cityCURRENTPartner, Skillway from last Friday's cityCURRENT Signature Speaker Series Event. In this Skillway Business Tip, Dew Tinnin emphasizes the critical role of trust in sales and how it can be effectively transferred through referrals. She explains that successful sales relationships are built on knowing, liking, and trusting the salesperson, with trust being the most crucial element. Tinnin illustrates this with a personal story involving his referral partner, Rick McKinley of Higginbotham, who facilitated a strong referral leading to a potential new client for Skillway. This referral was termed as a "bulletproof referral" because it was based on a direct connection with an expressed need, making it a highly effective way to gain new clients. Tinnin encourages making formal introductions in the referral process to enhance the trust factor and help close more sales. This approach not only strengthens business relationships but also significantly boosts the sales process through genuine and trusted connections.
