QBS LIVE: Why Question Based Selling is not Just About Asking Questions

Posted on June 6, 2016 Written by admin 4 Comments

While the name “Question Based Selling” seems to say it all about the sales methodology taught by Tom and QBS Research, there is much more to it than just asking questions. In today’s episode of QBS LIVE MONDAYS, Tom addresses this perception and goes on to teach the viewer how to, with one simple technique. . .

  • kick off a sales conversation in a non-threatening manner,
  • gather customer information to position yourself as a valuable resource,
  • establish your own credibility, and
  • earn the right to engage and go into more depth with your customer or prospect

During the live Q & A session, Tom fields questions on transitioning from a diagnostic phase to a more in-depth phase of the sales process, how not to feel like you’re pressuring a customer by asking questions, whether open questions are “garbage”, and the importance of research (you’ll be surprised with his answer to that last question).

    Tom, great video, was wondering if you might have just audio, would like to go over broadcast on ipod while I walk or drive and downloading just audio would be great.

    Thanks again for the podcasts.

    Tom, I would like to second Joe’s request regarding audio versus video. The video is great, audio to go for road trips would be a real help. Thanks for your time and work.

Strategic Questions

The Most Powerful Tool in Sales

Besides gathering information, strategic questions are a salesperson's best tool for:
• Piquing Customer Interest
• Establishing Credibility
• Understanding Requirements
• Creating a Sense of Urgency
• Qualifying Opportunities
• Competitive Differentiation
• Negotiation / Positioning
• Escalating to Decision Makers
• Securing Commitments / Closing Deals
• Maintaining Margins
• Getting Leads / Referrals
. . .which is very different than just probing for needs.
