No Problem = No Sale. 

In part 4 of the B2B Sales series, we’ll discuss how to get to the REAL pain and problem your prospect is facing. The reality is people don't get on sales calls just for fun, and as a salesperson if you don't uncover the real problem or challenge your prospect is facing, you won't get the close.

This is an easy, step-by-step way to uncover your prospect’s true pain and challenge (not just what they say on the surface) so you can effortlessly position your service as the solution and close the deal 💸

In this episode, you’ll learn:

00:00 – Intro: Why mastering the problem is everything
01:34 – Step 1: How to open with the “right now” question
06:11 – Step 2: The 3-word probing questions that do all the heavy lifting
09:04 – Step 3: Asking impact questions that unlock urgency
10:23 – Step 4: Labeling the problem and getting full agreement
