Relationship Intelligence defines a path to successful, long-term relationships, repeat business. Good salespeople help clients make decisions that are good for the client. The focus on Listening, the 3 Es, Empathy, Energy, Expertise, buyer types, understanding Needs and Wants, how to ask The Questions all lead to Putting it All Together. I saw many things that I have been able to do well and how the information in this book as already helped me realize that I can be better. Opened new doors on this analytical approach to successful selling.

The book is well written, well thought out. After 42 successful years in sales from residential, light commercial, to national account sales to fortune 50 companies, I found the book enlightening, helpful, and a source that I will return to during my journey.

So many key points to make. For me, the statement of working on my craft every day hit home. “Closing the Sale” is not the end, it is the beginning. Understanding relationship skills that will get to “Closing the Sale” is well defined in the book.
