You WON’T Be Taken Seriously If You Do This

Posted February 7, 2018

Image result for really?

I don’t think anyone would disagree that to a buyer, most sales reps sound the same.

In sales, we often nod our head in agreement that we need to stand out and then;

Proceed to do all the things that make us sound EXACTLY like our competitors.

Like asking cliched questions!

You know, like . . .

“What keeps you up at night?

“On a scale from 1-10 how is your present service?”

“What would it take to make them a 10?”

“If you could wave a magic wand and have the perfect _____________ what would that look like?”

“How does that make you feel?”

“If I could show you a way to _______ would you _______?”

The problem with a cliched (and oftentimes corny) question is that they irritate someone who values their time.

When that happens, you AREN’T creating rapport, credibility and;

Your prospect WON’T take you, or your process seriously!

And then there’s this . . .

Ask a crappy question and you inspire a crappy answer!

Whether you like it or not, people judge you and they never stop so;

Consider this an invitation to ask the questions your competitors FAIL to ask and;

If you must ask a cliched question;

At least have the creativity to ask it a different way!
