Honesty and integrity are essential from "summary" of The Sales Bible by Jeffrey Gitomer
In sales, honesty and integrity are not just buzzwords or moral values; they are necessary tools for success. Without honesty, you cannot build trust with your customers. And without trust, you cannot make a sale. It's as simple as that. When you are honest with your customers, you show them that you have their best interests at heart. You are not just trying to make a quick buck; you are genuinely interested in helping them solve their problems. This builds a strong foundation of trust that will keep them coming back to you time and time again. Integrity goes hand in hand with honesty. It means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. When you have integrity, you are consistent in your actions and you follow through on your promises. This builds credibility and reliability, two key traits that customers look for in a salesperson. Customers can see through phony sales tactics and insincere promises. They want to do business with someone they can trust, someone who will shoot straight with them and always have their best interests in mind. By being honest and having integrity, you set yourself apart from the competition and establish yourself as a trusted advisor in the eyes of your customers. In the fast-paced world of sales, it can be tempting to cut corners and bend the truth to make a sale. But in the long run, this will only hurt your reputation and your bottom line. By always putting honesty and integrity first, you not only build strong relationships with your customers, but you also build a solid foundation for long-term success in sales.
