Trust and credibility as the bedrock of relationships

Buyer intent

“We were positively surprised to find that our customer relationship scores had actually gone up during the pandemic — it means we have been able to build good relationships through digital means. This fits in nicely with our smart travel targets, which are part of our commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% compared to pre-pandemic levels. We encourage our sales reps to be more purposeful about their travel and to adopt a hybrid engagement model with, for example, two face-to-face appointments and one digital meeting.”
