Shari Levitin: You’ve got to ask the tough questions. Not just the rapport-building questions, but questions like, why are you looking to us? Why don’t you just do this yourself? Why wouldn’t you go to somebody else? Why are you interested in us? Get the objections out now and don’t be afraid. When the customer seems interested, ask those skinny branch questions. I say it to my customers all the time. I’ll say, How come you want to outsource your training? You’ve got a large company. Why wouldn’t you just do it internally? Now you may say, that’s a nutty question. They’re going to give you an objection. I want the objection. I once heard it this way. No, doesn’t get any “no-ier” than no. You want to get the objections out now, all of them, that you’ve got the time to overcome them.
