Differences that change a conversation

A binder does not build trust

Trust through data and trust through relationship

Anna presents more proof of competence. The partner opens up only over an ordinary dinner.

Anna presents a meticulous binder while Karim asks about sitting down with the partner.
We have everything: numbers, dates and risks. Full transparency.
And when do we simply sit down with them?
At a formal meeting the partner remains guarded despite good data.
What else do they need before they trust us?
Karim proposes dinner without a presentation.
No presentation tonight. Let’s invite them to dinner.
That is supposed to move the deal forward?
Over dinner the partner shares the real concern. THAT EVENING
Do you know what we are really worried about?
The next day Anna receives a concrete response. THE NEXT DAY
We didn’t show them a single new number yesterday.
But we showed them who we are.
Em, the Empatyzer coach
Anna builds trust through competence, data and predictability. Karim knows the other side first needs to know the people they may work with. Another chart does not open the conversation, while an ordinary dinner does. Relationship does not replace facts: credible data combined with personal contact gives the partner a reason to share the real concern.
