Asking Questions

Asking Questions

To gather information from Customers you need questioning skills. You have
to create effective questions to assess customer's present situation and
find out what they want.This keep the customers in participating and giving
you the full control over the call.Open ended questions invite the customer
to give appropriate answers. Open ended questions begin with the words

1. How ?
2. What?
3. Why?
4. When?
5. Where?
6. Who?

Everytime you ask open ended questions you must give the customer time to
answer. The customer has to think in order to reply. So be patient and start
to listen. Open ended questions help the Salesperson to gather information.

Closed questions invite the customer to give a yes/no answer.So while
gathering information you should be focused on opened questions rather
than close questions.Closed questions are asked mostly at the end of the
Sale for confirmation.

There are many ways in which you can answer customer questions.

The great Master Teacher answered the question with the question along with
the parable.So you can give an answer to the customer question or answer the
question with the question. or answer the customer questions with an answer
followed by a question.

Always ask the right questions.When you ask the right question the customer
is happy to answer you.
