Key Takeaways:
High-impact questions aren’t just sales tools—they’re door openers to deeper understanding and stronger relationships.
Confidence in sales comes from clarity, not charisma. Know your product and your prospect.
The objection “I don’t see the value” is often a mirror reflecting unclear messaging—own it, then explore what truly matters to the customer.
Don’t confuse a question with an objection—respond thoughtfully, not defensively.
Tactical strategies can create instant results without sacrificing long-term trust.
