Here’s why asking great questions will help you:
- You will gain the client’s respect and trust
- You will be able to learn their true buying objectives and motives
Here are some ideas on how to create a list of questions:
- Ask good qualifying questions such as:
* What is your vision for this project?
* What’s the most important thing you hope to accomplish by investing in this project?
* What kind of budget are you working with?
* Who else will be involved in these decisions?
* What would you like to see happen as a next step? - Don’t be shy. Ask them to prioritize – speed, price, quality of materials, etc.
- Ask good forecasting questions such as:
* What is your timeline on this project?
* What might the consequences might be if a good solution isn’t found? - Ask questions to enhance your rapport, such as:
* How did you get involved in…?
* What kind of challenges are you facing?
* What’s the most important priority to you with this? Why?
* What other issues are important to you?
The primary goal in asking good questions is to earn the client’s trust and respect. If the client feels that you know your own products, that you understand his business, his goals and objectives, and that you are not simply trying sell him something, but rather trying to see if you can help him find a viable solution, then your relationship will blossom into one that is long-term and that will benefit both you and your client.
