Episode Overview When Colin started his career in sales the world was a different place. Communication was much slower: there was no Internet, email or even fax machines. As a result clients’ expectations were much different. Today people want real-time answers and it’s far more difficult to connect unless you have an appointment with someone. To add to that today’s client knows your business before you even talk to them, they've done online research. If they are willing to talk to you then they already know what you do; and they simply are trying to find out if or how you can help them and how you can make your solutions fit their business needs. But one thing has remained the same throughout: relationships. Then and today it’s important to build trust and build relationships. Those two components are critical to having any success. And those are two things his business has focused on to grow to their current state. Today his business generates $25 million in sales with a team of less than 30 people and they’ve made the Inc 5000 list several times in the last few years. To build that trust and those relationships with their clients they show them they are focused on results from the very beginning. And they do so by asking and finding the answers to questions about issue, impact, importance and results. Discover more at http://www.GrowMyRevenue.com/business-cast/
