Want to Improve Sales Performance? Ask Deep WHY Level Questions
In this post we focus on the importance of truly understanding another person. This is the key to life as well as in our sales efforts. So, how do we do this? First, we must understand the "multidimensional worldview or WHY" of another person. This is how they see the world. And, it influences everything they do, say, and yes ... buy.
We cannot assume things (which happens when we do not ask enough questions) but instead, must listen more than we talk. Note to reader: we already know what WE BELIEVE ... the goal is to determine what THEY BELIEVE.
By asking deep and strategic questions we will come to understand WHY a person views the world in the manner they do.
Learn how to get to WHY (and quit having surface-level WHAT/HOW conversations) in the following short #RyansRemarks video. You can also click below to watch the video.
