Sales Coaching: Are You Asking the Right Questions? By: Cheryl A. Clausen. The questions you're asking now probably aren't the right questions. If you or your prospects feel uncomfortable when you ask questions, you're asking the wrong question? It's easy to tell when you're asking the wrong questions because the prospect sends clear signals that they aren't comfortable answering your question. But when you ask a good question the prospect acts interested and will often comment, "that's a good question". There is a noticeable difference because the prospect will engage.

You didn't have agreement from the prospect to have a selling conversation in the first place. You've confused the prospect by presenting too many options. You didn't take the buyer through a thought process that helped them to buy. You didn't evoke the emotional reason the prospect should act and act now.

Sales Techniques to Avoid Interrogation By: Cheryl A. Clausen. You realize that questions are a critical part of the sales process, but the questions you ask aren't producing the results you want. The way you structure the questions you ask, and the intent behind them have a dramatic impact on the prospect and your results. Questions are an easy way to establish rapport with the prospect, put them at ease, get them to open up to you, and help them to feel comfortable with you.
