In today's highly competitive market, building personal relationships with customers is essential to understanding their needs and offering tailored solutions. Partners should focus on providing a seamless shopping experience, clearly communicating the value of the brand, and delivering the right products.
“I encourage them to go above and beyond, leveraging available resources to strengthen customer connections and drive better sales results,” concludes Vijay.
