Questions That Sell - 2nd Edition by Paul Cherry (Paperback)

About the Book

The best questions during a sales pitch that can increase the chances of a sale should come not from the customer but from YOU--the salesperson!

Book Synopsis

If you ask the right questions, then you'll get the sale every time.

As a salesperson, your product knowledge is extensive but that's not enough. If you fail to ask the right questions - the ones that uncover a customer's real needs - you will never close the deal.

Top sales effectiveness expert and author Paul Cherry reveals advanced questioning techniques that will help you sell your products or services based on value to the customer, rather than price, and increase your success rate as a result.

In Questions That Sell, Cherry shares material on how to:

• Discover hidden customer needs and motivations
• Reinvigorate a stale relationship
• Soothe anxious buyers
• Accelerate the decision process
• Upsell and cross-sell so you no longer leave money on the table
• Use questions to qualify prospects (without insulting them)
• And much more

Questions That Sell is packed with powerful examples, exercises, and hundreds of sample questions for a wide range of buyer interactions. Success is yours for the asking. Smart questioning will get you there.

From the Back Cover

The "hard sell" is as dead as the dinosaurs in today's marketplace. More often than not, the sales professional who uses pressure and hype is going to leave empty-handed. The real secret to successful selling is getting to know who your customers are, and what they really want and need. When you ask them the right questions, you'll build strong business relationships, uncover potential concerns, move past objections, and open up exciting new opportunities. And, ultimately, you will make the sale.

Questions that Sell is an indispensable addition to your toolkit, no matter what your product or service. Paul Cherry's invaluable handbook is more essential than ever before, with even more practical, hands-on content that covers a broader range of tactical sales situations. A wealth of fresh topics, techniques, and information has also been added to this updated second edition, including new questions that will: Get prospects talking during cold calls - Soothe angry, dissatisfied, and anxious buyers - Lead to quicker decisions - Secure referrals - Comfortably address delicate subjects - Reinvigorate a sales relationship that has gone stale - Generate discussion and position yourself as a thought leader at networking events and on social media forums.

In a highly competitive marketplace, the right questions will enable the buyer to see you as a problem solver rather than a product peddler--while asking the wrong ones can kill a deal instantly. Success today depends on a lot more than just a good knowledge of and faith in what you're selling. Questions that Sell can be the one sales tool that makes all the difference.
