Evantage, Inc. Building Business Relationships


Evantage, Inc. was founded in April of 2006 in Dallas, TX.  Sales and marketing has changed a lot these days, no longer are companies able to get by with telemarketing, direct mail, and advertising alone.  In today's day and age people are connected with personal relationships more than ever.  Word of mouth, and face to face sales has been a key for all companies, large or small to market products and services in this economy.

Many times, people don't know where to go to get the best deals, find about new products, or even who to trust.  When company President, Chris Auwarter founded Evantage, his vision was to provide other companies a professional and innovative way to reach the customer base.  Outsourcing is not a new concept but today it can be a real tool for Fortune 500 companies to quickly hit sales targets and launch new products.

"Since opening our doors we feel that we have been able to make a real difference in the Dallas area with helping several major Dallas based companies hit and exceed their sales goals.  Our team has also been able to market and sell some of the newest and best technology on the market.  We are proud that not only we have been able to help our clients grow, but also been able to be true partners with them in all areas.  The recognition our team has received for customer satisfaction scores says a lot about how in tune our team is to our clients." - Chris Auwarter

Here are several tips to help you build strong business relationships:

1.  Be yourself!  People do business with people they trust.  You can't pretend you are someone you are not. Some people you will hit it off right away and others will take some time, but don't try to be someone you are not.

2.  Approach each contact with the end in mind.  Your goal should be to build a long-term relationship.  Always expect success, and do your part to get there.

3.  Look for the Win-Win.  Relationships are about helping make each party better.  There shouldn't be a winner and a loser, strong relationships should be mutually beneficial.

4.  Show commitment to the other side.  Loyalty and Trust come from a commitment!

5.  Listen and Learn.  Expect to find out new things from the other party.  Keep in mind, 2 ears and 1 mouth, use them!

Focus and Intensity

It's been too long since we have posted a blog...

It has been a busy summer and early fall at Evantage, with expansions to Charlotte, NC and in 2 weeks we expand again to Denver, CO!

Every year it seems like we here all the time about New Years Resolutions, what you want to accomplish this year, then sometime in the Spring it is easy to lose that focus and intensity toward the goals and then they are forgotten.

Our challenge this year is instead of focusing on New Year's Resolutions, set some goals for yourself now at the beginning of November to have focus and intensity on your goals now, so come January you are farther ahead of where you expected to be, which in turn will lead you to even more success in 2012.
