One Of THE Best Ways To Build Rapport (That Most People Miss)

Posted February 2, 2018

Paul Castian

When it comes to establishing rapport, I think many people think its all about looking around the prospect’s office and/or researching them, so you have some conversation starters.

While those things can help;

Establishing Rapport and Credibility runs much deeper than chit chat!

One of THE most neglected ways to establish rapport and credibility is to;

Ask AWESOME Questions!

Sadly, most reps ask lots of “spec” related questions like quantity, color, timeline etc and while that’s important;

Nobody is going to get excited over a spec question!

That’s why you need to have questions that;

Get the prospect thinking

Get the prospect to address the “elephant” in the room

Demonstrate your expertise and competence

Get the prospect excited (from both a “pain” AND opportunity perspective)

Here’s what you should do ASAP;

Take a look at the questions you’ve been asking potential clients.

Are they establishing your credibility or are they simply there for information purposes?

I’m going to be spending a significant amount of time on questioning techniques (and none of that open ended/close probes sh*t) during our How To Ask AWESOME Sales Questions webinar next week.
