About this episode
In sales, there's a common pattern that many professionals follow with the best intentions. They ask questions. They probe. They dig into the mechanics of a prospect's situation—what systems are they using? How much are they spending? What's not working? Next they tie the pertinent features into benefits for the prospect. But seldom do they get into the crucial questions of motivation – the WHY.
You must be motivated to tune in, so listen up as Scott and I probe, Features, Benefits and Motivation and other appealing appetizers on Episode 679 of the Winning at Selling podcast.
