When we have positive experiences with a salesperson, we are often happy to work with them again in the future as we develop trust with them. An example of this can be seen with the real estate agent (and YouTuber) Graham Stephan<\/a> who works to build relationships with his clients as he understands the importance of the lifetime value of a customer. The people he helps today may come back to him when selling\/buying a house down the road, or refer him to friends\/neighbors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
