The Threshold Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0For sales, to open the firmly closed hearts of potential clients, it is your job to gradually narrow the distance between you and them, and cross the threshold from being a stranger to a trusted other.<\/p><p><strong>2. The Principle of Likeability:\u00a0<\/strong>As the name suggests, being liked by your client is key. Building bonds and finding common points of interest with your counterparty is extremely important to be successful in sales. Additionally, when dealing with clients from different cultures, learning a polite gesture or simple phrase from their country can be very endearing.<\/p><p><strong>3. The Principle of Reciprocity:\u00a0<\/strong>This basic principle states that in many social situations, we pay back what we receive from others. Although seemingly counterintuitive, providing constant favors to someone can actually be burdensome to them, so it is important that interactions with clients have a clear and mutually understood intention. This is the best way to avoid any confusion between parties and continue to build trust.<\/p><p><strong>4. Modesty:\u00a0<\/strong>Nothing in the world is perfect, which means no person is perfect either. We all have our faults and we must remember to show others humility in our interactions with them, especially in sales.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63a4fb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"63a4fb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Taking Pride in Your Work<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b19273d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b19273d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We asked Lee to share her proudest moment of her time at Samsung C&amp;T, and her response reflected back upon just her second year in the company. \u201cI came to lead an investment project to expand sales\u201d, she noted, adding that \u201cI really questioned if this was the right choice to choose this job\u201d due to the difficulties of the situation.
