When asking the perfect question, it is crucial to be sincere. Here are some steps:

  1. Understand Your End Result - There are two pain points that are likely to discover. 1) What is the buyer getting that they don't want? or 2) What are they getting that they don't want?
  2. Don't Interrogate - Unfortunately, there is where the "art of sales" comes into play. The is likely something that can't be taught but it can be learned. This will likely come with several steps that create misses and you have to learn from the misses or mistakes.
  3. Don't Make People Feel Bad - When you ask people a question, ensure that you don't put them in the defensive position. Instead, try: "what were you using before trying 'x' product?"
  4. Write Down Question in Advance - Don't be lazy with the questions that you are asking. Ensure that the question pushes you quickly to your end result.
  5. Never Ask a Question Beyond Their Expertise - This will ensure you are being respectful to the person asking. We don't want someone to feel that we are trying to get past them.
