I'm not familiar with this saying in French....
Context:
1.4. L’accueil, la prise de contact et l’approche de la cliente
Il ne s’agit pas ici de standardiser des phrases ou de robotiser des gestes mais plutôt de développer des réflexes et des attitudes correspondants à l’état d’esprit de Compagnie X. L’objectif principal de cette étape est de mettre le client à l’aise. Il est donc impératif de créer d’emblée un climat de confiance. Il n’en reste pas moins que l’accueil Compagnie X doit être appliqué tout au long de la visite de la cliente qu’il y ait achat ou non.
