It is no secret that success in business can be measured by one’s ability to build trusted relationships.  It is also true that in an increasingly competitive market, there is mounting pressure to develop relationships quickly.

This workshop will explore the elements of trust, the single most important concept underpinning all long-term relationships, and Cialdini’s 6 Principles of Social Interaction, the strategies of: Reciprocity, Liking, Credibility, Consistency, Consensus, and Rarity.
