He sites what “SPIN Selling” author Neil Rackham calls the “zone of indifference.”

This means that between the two, the buyer will likely choose to deal with the seller he likes.” While a personal relationship won’t be the deciding factor in most major account selling situations, it’s still an important part of the mix.

    When building customer relationships, Snyder recommends being guided by the “Three Cs” of concern, candor, and competence.

    Says Snyder, “Don’t neglect your customer relationships, and don’t neglect your sales training, either. Your customers shouldn’t have to choose between the salesperson they like and the salesperson with professional selling skills.”
