As a sales person you must know your market. Now think about the following question in your mind:

Where is “My Market”??

The term “my market” means not only a geographic territory assigned to you by your employer. It is much more than a geographic border. Your market is your customer base of your geo territory. They may be current ones or existing but they are not your customer or maybe your competitor’s customer base.

What efforts I am doing to take authority of “my market”.

1) Should remember the name of customer.

2) Give proper time while they are busy with their customer

3) Chat with them on their issue of interest such as politics, sports etc.

4) Respect their elder ones(if they are also part of their business), & their staff.

If you solve most or some of that issue, his trust in you will defiantly increase. Your actions are should be like a win win situations for both.
