Almost everyone would agree that a relationship should be built on honesty. \u00a0However sometimes it feels as though telling a couple lies to make connections with potential clients could help ease the sales process. \u00a0Now I am not talking about lying when it comes to your product or service, that would be fraud. \u00a0It would also be fraud if you lied about your personal qualifications and things of that nature. \u00a0But the harmless lies about yourself to better connect with someone does not seem to be bad.<\/p>\n
For example if I know a client is a huge golf fan and I try connecting with him by saying I love to watch golf (which is definitely not true). \u00a0Even though lying is wrong, I am unsure if doing this would be a such bad thing. \u00a0I guess it is more of a personal judgement than anything else but as a Christian Sales class I am curious to know what others think.<\/p>\n
Even if you are unsure I believe it is a good thing to at least think about, is a little dishonesty acceptable in sales, if it helps make the important personal connection?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
