We explore the art of being genuinely interested in others—both in social settings and sales conversations. Inspired by observations at recent holiday parties, Art shares how most people fail to listen effectively, turning conversations back to themselves instead of encouraging others to share. This behavior isn't just socially frustrating—it's costly in sales.
Learn to recognize critical "problem/trigger words" like "We're noticing…" or "The problem is…," and discover simple, powerful questions to dig deeper, uncover pain points, and build trust. By staying curious, listening intently, and prompting prospects to share more, you'll not only get better information but also create emotional connections that drive results.
You'll hear how to master the techniques of "Tell me more about that" and "What's causing this?" to transform your conversations, make yourself more interesting, and ultimately close more sales.
