Imaging Whats Inside the Box
There is so much more going on in life than we even realize --usually a much bigger picture to meaning behind specific situations and why they occur. The bigger picture is how we affect one another.

In my work helping corporations improve the effectiveness of their sales forces, I consistently run into three situations that I am beginning to believe challenge most companies. Many sales people are unable to: - Determine if a sale is makeable before investing too many resources. - Stop selling and start helping their prospective customer. - Manage objections without creating a win/lose environment.

We, as professional salespeople, thrive on success in our fields, right? Most of us in this noble profession have found ourselves in a “sales slump” or in a “sales plateau”. We know what these situations are, right? A “sales slump” is where we can’t even sell someone water in the middle of the desert. A “sales plateau” is where our numbers have stopped climbing (regardless of the volume) and we’re maintaining the numbers at a certain level and we aren’t able to make more sales.
How Do I Know Which Sales Questions to Ask?
Many sales organizations will prepare lists of questions and hand them out to salespeople. You can even download lists of questions from many websites.
