From someone who use to cold call, in person, from business to business you had to be liked first, then trusted. If you walked in the door and didn't make an impression that they "liked" you would never have a chance to build trust.
The other side of this is eBusiness. When I go to a website I don't need to like the salesman, owner or customer service rep. In most cases I never talk to them when ordering. But I must "trust" the site with my personal information.
