The Asking Formula


How many times during the day – whether during a sales call, conducting a presentation, leading a meeting, running a project – is it vital for you to ask for something that you want in order to achieve your goals? Yet many of us sabotage ourselves through bad communications habits that act as roadblocks to achieving our goals.

Asking is a simple skill, but it is not easy to master and there is no exaggerating its benefit. The Asking Formula leads to more confident communications, better influence, and a heightened professional image. It drives productivity and increases leadership effectiveness. The Asking Formula™ teaches you to achieve your goals by effectively and persuasively asking for what you want… and getting it.

Participants to this session will learn:

  1. How to immediately implement the most effective, straightforward and high-impact process for structuring a best-in-class “ask” regardless of audience, topic or situation.
  2. How to avoid 3 common asking behaviors that are sabotaging your effectiveness and act as barriers to your success.
