1. Tell me more about that challenge 2. What's a recent example of that 3. If you could solve this issue what would it look like in dollars 4. Why is this an issue right now (*good question) 5. How does it affect you directly
Asking how much it is worth in dollars gets them to establish the numeric representation of their actual estimation of the value. Doing this right lets you lead them to see a figure that is higher than you actually charge. I think you can all see the benefit in this!

People buy from people they like and trust. Do not take a subordinate disposition in your client relationship. Be a peer. Use step selling to eliminate objections. Use your greeting and introduction to get them to like you. Qualify your business and ask if this is a business they could work with. Get the customer’s needs to line up with the product you are offering. Set a higher price expectation than what you finally bid the job at. Ask for the sale. Isolate and overcome the objection. It will usually be about price. Make a value added proposition to lower price. Never drop your price without a concession from the customer. i. e. , Can I put my sign in your yard? Close deal. Follow up. Repeat.
I agree with just about everything he says, although with the "5 questions" he's got a couple of them out of order. You must find out the impacts and costs that the issues/problems are causing BEFORE you ask about the how much money solving the problem will save them. You have to ask the impact question first because it gives you an opportunity for the contact to list the various impacts/costs. By going to the "money saved" question first there is a danger that the contact will close over and/or forget about all of the implications and impacts of the problem. Marc's philosophies and teachings are correct, however I really think he has simply taken S.P.I.N. selling and repackaged it - only not QUITE as good.
Marc, it's interesting to know that challenges when prequestioned, is that necessarily having a preprepartion to the next possibilities of tasks in hand of client. Or to sales pitch and focus more about as solutions provider...
Great video, thanks! I have one question: you are starting at a point where the prospect knows his problem and tells you. What if they refuse to actually say their problems or, even worse, what if they don't realise the problem because they are so used to this lifestyle that they can't dreamfor a better life anymore?
First of all B2B is different from B2C. But I remember Marc saying something along the lines of: if they don't have this issue then they are not a good fit. Which I have to agree with. Just move on and find a better prospect for your product or service. Not point in trying to sell a Ferrari to someone on welfare. Second is your tone and your way of asking. If you ask people in the right way they will open up and start talking. Especially if you are just asking about challenges and not some trade secret. Lastly. B2C would be about selling a combination of a lifestyle and idea, think big brands and how many of them are just average but has good marketing, and solving a problem. Say you walk into a coats store. You have a problem: it is cold and I need a coat. But you are limited to sizes and budget and all sort of things for example. Yet why do people buy stuff and even end up in debit? Well. You offer a stylish coat that will A solve the problem, and B get the buyer all the chicks, or her female friend's jealousy or the approval of god or looking like a boss or whatever you can sell to your customer. Now you are still tackling the main problem. But you are justifying giving then an extra 100$ coat because of other stuff that they dream or want to have or whatever it is you can use. Even cold calling. if they don't hang up right away then they expecting something or hoping for something. And back to B2B, you should be talking to the actual people in charge of the actual thing. And if you ever deal with a business that is absolutely content and say they have no problem or can't improve, hang up immediately and delete their number.
Great questions . But when I start a question with “why” I feel like people get defensive because they have to explain themselves. Some will gladly open up though
Why do you think X started to be a problem in this company? Do you think you can put into words how X became a problem with this company? Something like that I guess.
Only use why questions that are in your favor and you know the answer is obvious: "You're a smart guy, why would you need my help with this?" Note how I used a softener first. But always use "how" and "what" questions. Instead of "Why do you think that?" Change to "What makes you think that?" Or "How did you arrive at that conclusion?"
@markwayshak can you do a video on how to build a rapport and trust with the potential Prospect so they feel more comfortable with these questions being asked to them?
Ok… and what if your prospects say: Nope, I don’t have any problems. We are doing all good with our tools. Then what? You are assuming that your prospects will know or share their problems…

Leonora Dompor why ? Why not pink and pink dresses ?
wow these are very powerful questions!
This sounds a lot like the Sandler Sales Pain Funnel.
Intresting
this is very good.
Great questions . But when I start a question with “why” I feel like people get defensive because they have to explain themselves. Some will gladly open up though
re-word it so that you can ask the why question without using why
Why do you think X started to be a problem in this company?
Do you think you can put into words how X became a problem with this company?
Something like that I guess.
Only use why questions that are in your favor and you know the answer is obvious: "You're a smart guy, why would you need my help with this?" Note how I used a softener first.
But always use "how" and "what" questions.
Instead of "Why do you think that?" Change to "What makes you think that?" Or "How did you arrive at that conclusion?"
Replace "WHY" with "HOW DO YOU THINK" and attach the questions.
I have got amazing results..
All the best
Great content!
