In this episode of Sales [UN]Training, host Kelly Riggs discusses how to "play the long game" in sales relationships, a crucial yet often neglected aspect of effective selling. Kelly emphasizes the importance of nurturing long-term relationships with potential clients, even when immediate sales are not on the horizon. He challenges the traditional notions of relationship-building in sales, urging salespeople to move beyond superficial interactions and instead focus on consistently providing value and authenticity. Kelly illustrates how real relationships, built on trust and consistent, meaningful engagement, can position salespeople at the forefront when opportunities arise, rather than scrambling to catch up after an RFP is released.

Kelly also stresses the importance of training sales teams to understand and implement these long-term strategies. He debunks common myths about relationships in sales, pointing out that rapport alone doesn't equal a relationship, and that authenticity is key to earning trust and business over time. Kelly closes the episode by encouraging sales leaders to rethink their approach to training, ensuring their teams are equipped to play the long game effectively. Whether you're a seasoned sales professional or just starting, this episode offers valuable insights into the art of strategic, relationship-driven selling.
