Want To Sell More? Stop Asking Safe Questions!

Posted March 1, 2020

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 so that;

I can 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?

I’m going to be talking more about the power of great questions during our webinar on March 19th.

Here’s what you’ll gain by joining us;

  • 30 ways to find buyers with a much higher degree of urgency to do the deal NOW!
  • How to get the right players to your meetings… my definition of the “right players” might surprise you.
  • How to establish your authority … BEFORE you even have your first meeting with your prospect. How to set the rules of engagement and outfox your competitors during highly competitive situations.
  • 9 “Insurance Policies” you MUST take out with EVERY prospect!
  • 10 forms of “evidence” that reduce doubt, skepticism and objections.
  • How to create a higher degree of urgency during the “courtship” and how to ask for the business WITHOUT any of those cheesy “closing lines”!
  • How to handle the price objection WITHOUT giving away the store and how to handle stalls like “I need to think it over” and “I need to run this by my boss”. And just for sh*ts and giggles, we might as well show you what to do when you think you’ve been ghosted.
  • How to position yourself for a “second chance” when you lose a deal!
