Some people seem to think that effective salespeople are the “good talkers.” But in the modern selling situation more professionals would agree that it’s important to ask insightful questions and actively listen to the answers. The challenge is that many of us don’t really know how to listen, at least not with purpose. In this presentation we will give you a variety of strategies to ask better questions and listen thoroughly to the prospect’s answers.

Learn:

  • 5 beginning tips for better listening
  • How to conduct a listener analysis
  • 4 purposes of communications
  • The Steil S-I-E-R action stages
