Features: Traditional sales training or sales management requires salespeople to continuously make sales presentations to target customers, emphasizing what to say is crucial, while what to ask is often overlooked. However, this forceful sales approach is less applicable in the new environment. After years of summarizing experience, the author proposes a Question-Based Sales (QBS) method, believing that the content and form of questions are far more important than what is said. The key to sales success is not just increasing the likelihood of success but more importantly, reducing the risk of failure. How can this be achieved? Through questioning! By asking questions, salespeople can pique customers' curiosity, build credibility in their minds, and encourage active participation in the sales meeting. By adjusting the scope of questions to build relationships, gradually shifting the focus of questions to enhance the value of the sales meeting, and by adjusting the inclination of questions to gather more authentic customer feedback. Moreover, questioning can uncover the dual nature of customers' purchase motivations, enabling deeper exploration of their needs and doubling the perceived value of one's products or services from both positive and negative perspectives. In this book, the Question-Based Sales (QBS) method summarizes a warm sales visit model, controlling the entire sales process through four stages: introduction, need discovery, value statement, and moving to the next step, thereby achieving a comprehensive methodology from theory to practical application.
