You already know that asking the right questions will uncover needs and help to guide the conversation.
But –
When you’re talking with a prospect who is reluctant to give you the critical information to move forward –
How do you find out what’s REALLY important to your prospect?
Ask one of 3 compelling “high-gain” questions, like
1.) “What is the ONE thing you would change…”
Or –
2.) “What is your greatest concern…”
This is Important
It might be difficult, but; stay silent until she answers your question.
Then there is the third compelling high-gain question.
Let’s say the prospect is considering the purchase of a new copy machine.
To get her honest opinion of her current copier, question #3 works. Really works.
Compelling question #3
3.) “On a scale of one to 10 with 10 being the best, how would you rate your current copier?”
After you hear the answer, ask this question:
- “What would it take to make the copier a 10?”
(And now it is critical to remain silent until after you hear the answer.)
The answer will let you know how you can earn the sale.
