Stop Clinging To The “Safe” Questions!

Posted January 26, 2018

There are things that jump out at us in sales and yet, we choose to leave well enough alone.

Sometimes we avoid the subject because we don’t want to jeopardize the sale, hurt feelings or who knows, incite a riot but . . .

You’re doing your prospect/client a disservice when you avoid the “elephant in the room”.

I’m not suggesting we suddenly become rude, or talk about things that are irrelevant or inappropriate;

I’m talking about addressing things that need to be spoken about.

For some it might be their company culture, internal politics or turnover.

For others it might be bad online reviews, their reputation, what former employees are saying about them on Glassdoor.

Sometimes its an opinion, attitude or an obsession with sticking with the status quo but;

As much as it would be nice to be besties with my clients, I have no desire to have that type of relationship.

I’d rather be the guy, who has the balls to ask the questions others wouldn’t dare ask and;

Have the discussions that serve my clients at a much higher level!

That’s where I can really begin to work my magic in my client relationships;

NOT in the avoidance of the elephant in the room!

How about you . . .

Do you have the guts to ask the difficult questions?
