What question will help us make better presentations?

"What would you like to know first?" Instead of pitching and presenting, we put our prospects in the question-asking mode. It’s easy. And it is polite. Prospects hate a one-way conversation where we just talk at them. So as soon as possible, ask the question: "What would you like to know first?" Our prospects will feel more in control of the information, and they will tell us exactly what they want to know. Why prospects join. If prospects joined because of information, companies wouldn't need us. They already have... Read full article

How I learned "mind-reading" ninja skill

Here is the short story. I cheat. This takes two steps. #1. Ask better starter questions. These will get our prospects to open up more. We want them to tell us exactly what they are thinking.

Two Professionals walk down a street of prospects …

​ The first Professional talks to everyone. No prospects. He thinks, "What a bunch of dumb prospects. My offer is too expensive. The economy is bad. This business is too hard." The second Professional talks to the same prospects. The prospects react, "Wow! Tell me more!" They think, "What a great gold mine of prospects. Almost everyone wants what I offer." The lesson? Prospects are neutral. They don’t become a good prospect or a bad prospect, until they meet us. They make a quick decision based on the words we say. If you... Read full article
