Listen Later

Today With LuAnn Nigara:

If you’ve ever fumbled your way through a discovery call or wondered why some leads ghost you after that first conversation—this episode is for you.

LuAnn breaks down five strategic questions every window treatment pro should be asking on a discovery call—plus the real reason behind each one. Inspired by the sales genius of Phil M. Jones and enriched by a powerful real-life story from Matt Cobb inside the Exciting Windows! mastermind, this episode is all about selling smarter, not harder.

You'll also get a sneak peek at the Make a Friend 7-Step Selling Process from Lu University—and why asking the right question is more important than having the right script.

Don’t miss this one—it’s full of actionable gems to help you sell with confidence, connection, and clarity.

What You’ll Learn:

  • 5 powerful questions that move the sales conversation forward
  • How to uncover urgency, trust issues, and decision dynamics
  • The subtle art of asking what you really want to know
  • Why selling is about understanding, not assuming
  • How our Make a Friend method flips the script on traditional sales

  • A Big THANK YOU to Today’s Podcast Sponsor:
