QUESTIONS THAT GET TO THE HEART OF WHY THEY BUY

ASK: Why do you buy from us? And based on that answer, develop 10 on-the-spot tangent questions about:

  • How does this affect…?
  • What does this help…?
  • How does this impact…?
  • How does this produce…?
  • How do you profit from…?
  • What is the $ impact of having a partner versus a vendor relationship?
  • If you had a better or hassle free administration/billing process, what would be the $ impact for you and the business?
  • What would you like to see in a rep? And why?
  • What leads to trust for you, and why?
  • How important is the responsiveness of the sales rep and the company in making a purchase decision?
  • What impact does the tangible product or offering have in making a purchase decision?
  • What is the impact of recovery on your relationship with the company and your loyalty to them?
  • If a rep is empathetic and understanding of your needs, does that influence your buying loyalty criteria?
