Abstract
This paper examines the role of disclosure on agency establishment. Structural Equation Modeling reveals the need for salespeople to reach a level of “rapport” for a phase transition prior to any eventual sale. Reaching this level is a key driver of successful outcomes, rather than the negotiating skills.
