Today's Women’s Wednesday we are focusing on the new top reason women are buying from their sales advisor. Trust has always trumped price when it comes to buying from a sales advisor, but now, in our latest mid-year #bigdata report directly from women's reviews, “trust” no longer has the top spot.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Aretha Franklin couldn’t define it better. Respect is now the #1 prerequisite to trust in the formula to selling to women.
The top 5 reasons women buy from their sales consultant are ranked as follows:
1. Respectful
2. Trustworthy
3. Likeable
4. Knowledgeable
5. Understanding
