I get asked all the time about what questions buyers will ask prior to a meeting or phone call. After listening you will be informed and ready to answer the most common questions buyers ask. This episode prepares you for a meeting with the buyer. I also share the main things NOT TO DO at a buyer meeting. This may be the most useful information of the entire podcast. Tune in and enjoy!
