    When a client doubts your team's expertise, the goal isn’t to prove them wrong - it’s to show them results. I’ve found that demonstrating value through action builds more trust than any argument ever could. 🔹 Listen first – Understand their concerns, not just their objections. 🔹 Show, don’t tell – Share data, case studies, and tangible results. 🔹 Collaborate intentionally – Involve them in the process to create buy-in. "Doubt fades when impact is undeniable. Let results speak louder than reassurance, and confidence will follow." How have you successfully turned skepticism into trust? Wishing you a productive, insightful, and rewarding Tuesday! Chris Clevenger #Leadership #ConflictResolution #PositiveImpact

    مگر دعوا داریم که باید ثابت کنیم مشتری اشتباه میکند؟ بهجای آن، باید اعتماد او را جلب کنیم. با شناسایی سیستم ترجیحی پردازش اطلاعات (VAK-AD) در NLP، دادههای خود را به شیوهای ارائه میدهیم که برای او قابل درک باشد. اگر دیداری است، نمونههای تصویری؛ اگر شنیداری است، نقلقولهای مشتریان راضی؛ اگر احساسی است، داستانهای موفقیت. همچنین میتوان فردی را که مشتری به او اعتماد دارد، برای اطمینانبخشی وارد کرد یا دادههای عددی را با محاسبات شفاف ارائه داد. هدف، ایجاد اطمینان است، نه اثبات اشتباه! ضمنا این اطلاعات را بر مبنای متاپروگرامهای مشتری با جایگاهیابی متناسبی از طیف کلی-جزئی، خطرپذیری-خطرگریزی، کنشگرا-بازتابی و خوددان-تاییدجو قالببندی میکنیم. اگر مدل فروش با سوال را درست اجرا کنیم همه این موارد در آن موجود است. 😊

    When a client doubts the marketing competence of your team, it is important not to get into an argument, but to provide the right arguments and facts. A neutral discussion space helps to reduce tension and create an atmosphere of mutual understanding. In such situations, it is useful to involve an independent mediator, who will be needed not to resolve the dispute, but to help structure the dialogue and avoid emotional escalation. Analyzing successful cases, clearly explaining the strategy and demonstrating the results can dispel the client's doubts. Openness to questions and willingness to adapt the approach strengthen trust. Constructive discussion allows you not only to prove your competence, but also to strengthen partnerships.
