Fact Finding

Once the prospect trusts us enough to share information, we need to do our fact finding or discovery.

Key elements in this module include:

1. The bookend procedure for deeper bonding
2. Basic questions – including company culture, specific needs, and competition
3. Who is involved in making the decision
4. How proper questioning helps transform the salesperson into a consultant
5. The significance of the prospect’s needs
6. Their “must haves” – the closing conditions
7. What it would mean to achieve their preferred solution
8. Determining if our capabilities are competitive, is there a “blue ocean”, uncontested solution?
9. How does the prospect make a decision and deal with change
10. What risks does the prospect see in change
