People do business with people they like. That’s about the oldest known business strategy! And it still holds true today, particularly in B2B environments, although it may look a little different today than it did back when (quarterly business reviews over a Zoom call versus a two-martini lunch, for example). Just as any relationship takes time to build, developing a trust with your customers that feels almost like a friendship will take time as well.

I once worked for a boss who led through intimidation. Whenever there was an issue to be resolved or a problem that’s taking longer than expected to figure out, he would say “Send (name) an email and “CC” me”. He thought that, just because the boss was copied on the email, it would make the email recipient respond quicker and act on the request right away.

Every time I need to buy a pair of jeans, I trick myself into thinking it’ll be an easy process. I’m sure I can simply order from the last place I bought them or just check a few stores. Inevitably, the place I ordered from last time changed something about the fit or material, and the in-store options are lacking. I end up making a bunch of trips, printing out shipping labels like it’s a part-time job, and still have no denim to show for the trouble.
