About this ebook

Get a practical, actionable, three-step process to build and leverage important relationships

Most people know instinctively how to build positive, long-lasting relationships with spouses, friends, and even co-workers–but few of us know how to consciously and systematically build and maintain positive business relationships. For years, The Relationship Edge has successfully shown people how to build personal relationships and repair damaged ones with a proven three-step process.

This completely updated third edition offers a fresh perspective on that process and includes more contemporary case studies, as well as how to build and nurture relationships online.

  • Develop the right mindset–understand that personal relationships are vital to business success, both offline and online
  • Ask the right questions–discover the common ground you share with others
  • Do the right thing–be truthful and straightforward or you'll undermine the goodwill you've worked so hard to build
  • Jerry Acuff, the author, has a proven record of success with previous editions of The Relationship Edge

With real case studies and step-by-step guidance, The Relationship Edge, Third Edition offers the tools and advice you need to develop strong, rewarding relationships with customers, co-workers, and managers. Jerry Acuff's latest version is packed full of practical, concrete information on the mechanics of interpersonal relationships in the business world, all designed to have you doing business better and more productively than ever.

Named one of the top ten sales experts by Global Gurus for six consecutive years, Jerry Acuff is the CEO and founder of Delta Point, Inc., an Arizona-based-company that transforms under-performing sales teams into sales titans. He has consulted and spoken extensively on sales and marketing excellence issues for over 30 years.

Now he’s fortunate to spend his time helping thousands of others find victory. “I can do it, anybody can do it,” Acuff says.
