5 Questions Every 

Salesperson Should Ask
#1. Why? Why? Why?
Probe Deeper
Ask yourself: "Why they would want to do business with
you? What do they hope to gain?"
#2. Why now?
Learn their time table
Ask: "Why do they need this now? Have they tried to do
this before? If so, why didn't that work out?"
#3. Who will sign off on this?
Create an influence map
Ask: "What does your company's decision-making
process look like? Can you walk me through it?"
#4. Can I show you?
Ask for permission
Start by asking: "What would a successful outcome look like for you?"
After that, you can ask them if they would like to see a value-driven demo.
#5. What will happen if you don't?
Uncover the alternatives
Ask: "What other options are you looking at right now? If
you don't go with our solution, what will you do instead?"
