Abstract:
"In his new book, Trust-Based Selling, Charles Green zeros in on the single most critical application of trust to customers - selling - when buyers decide whether or not to become a customer. Green shows how behaving in a trustworthy manner during the sales process creates trust while also enhancing the odds of getting the sale."--BOOK JACKET.
