Your goal is to ask questions that will uncover valuable data AND not sound like every other salesperson's “stock” questions!The answers you get are only going to be as good as the questions you ask.I was in a sales call one time and this guy asked the client “What would you change if you had 30 days to make a difference and a magic wand you could wave over your business?” The look on the clients face was the famous “my wheels are turning because no one has asked me this before” look!Now, you’ve left the realm of a routine sales call and you’ve embarked on a real discussion on matters that matter to your pro
