These are the essential next generation handbooks on how-to effectively implement a relationship-first focus in sales.  As you well know:

1. Customers buy from those they trust
2. Relationships differentiate; solutions alone & solutions selling are commodities

Few sales organizations focus on relationships as a key component of their strategy and tactics.  Most sales programs focus on sales processes, overcoming objections, and alleviating a customer’s pain.  They do not emphasize relationships, or train on building relationships that are effective and sustainable.
