Secrets of Asking Good Sales Questions

Sales questions that close the sale, preparing good sales questions and how to ask them

"Selling isn't telling." In fact, it's more often the opposite. Great sales people ask questions more effectively than others. They know that a good sales question is their single most powerful sales tool.

Good questions direct your customer's thinking. When you use a good question, or a series of good questions, you penetrate your prospect's mind and direct his/her thinking.

There is something in human beings that makes it almost impossible not to think of the answer when we are asked a question. I'm not sure whether it's something genetic, or whether we're conditioned from birth to always think of the answer to a question. Here's an illustration. I'll ask you a question, but I want you to not think of the answer. How old are you? If you're like most of us, you thought of the answer, even after I indicated you shouldn't.

Now, consider where the decision to buy your products or services takes place. It happens in the mind of your customer. A good question from your sales people helps focus and shape the direction in which your customer's mind works.

Yet, most sales people have never adequately prepared good sales questions - the kind of sales questions that direct a customer's thinking.

The result? Missed opportunities, lost sales, frustrated sales people and discouraged sales managers. If your company is going to be successful today, sales people must master the use of good sales questions!
