1. Be Yourself
People buy from people who they know like and trust. The best way to build relationships in business is to get to know each other. Ad the best way to do tat… be yourself.
2. First impressions
You don’t get a second chance at a first impression. in fact, you only get a few seconds to make that first impression, so even when meeting people online, dress for the occasion.
3. Make the most of your meetings
Be prompt and be prepared. Do your research. Listen, take notes and don’t interrupt and try to ask open questions.

Good business relationships rely on good communication. Concentrate on communicating effectively and simply. honest and open communication builds trust, conveys knowledg, and shows empathy.
