Mastering Questions-Based Selling: Knowing How to Ask the "Right" Questions

We have all heard the old saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." Financial advisors who do not close the sale oftentimes find themselves working against this wisdom, trying to make prospects buy. It is not your responsibility to make prospects and clients do anything they do not want to do. It's just your responsibility to make them thirsty! How do you do this? By using specific types of questions and knowing when to use them, you can create curiosity in prospects and clients. That will lead them into wanting your services—instead of getting your services pushed on them.

The challenge is that most advisors never take the time to understand their own questions-based selling process. As a result, they are doomed to the same poor results when asking the same poor questions. So the real question is "do you understand your own process?"

Advisor Solutions is absolutely confident that once you have participated in this complimentary session you will have increased your knowledge not about "what" questions to ask but "how" to ask the right questions!
