Send us a text The know, like, and trust framework is the essential foundation for both landing a sales job and closing deals with prospects. Mike O"Kelly breaks down the specific mechanics behind each component and provides actionable strategies for implementing them effectively. • Your resume is a passive introduction that forms the first impression when you"re not present • Hiring managers filter candidates based on whether they know, like, and then trust them • Follow-up demonstrates trustworthiness and consistency in both job hunting and sales • Buyers care more about what happens when things go wrong than when they go right • The rule of three applies universally across sales processes: planning, building, and launching • Being responsive shows employers you can handle the responsibilities of the role • The same three-phase framework applies whether you"re getting into sales, dominating, or moving on If you want to chat about your situation or get a territory audit with a free strategy session, click the link in the show notes.
