How to unlock more sales: The surprising power of curiosity
Manage episode 513290664 series 3585590
In this podcast we flip hard sales calls by replacing fixed pitches with genuine curiosity, open questions, and active listening. We show how note-taking builds trust, how to tailor value, and why this mindset wins repeat business and referrals.
• why one-size-fits-all pitching fails
• using open-ended questions to surface real needs
• active listening and note-taking to build confidence
• mapping features to outcomes that buyers value
• building trust that leads to referrals and repeat business
• reducing pressure by admitting unknowns and clarifying fit
• summarising needs to close with alignment
