50 Smartest Questions
So I just read the book The 7 Powers of Questions, by Dorothy Leads. It's a great lead. My Coach asked me to read, since I am in sales. He always reminds me that:
Telling is Not Selling, Telling is Repelling!
So when I am looking for buyers or sellers or even talking in general, he wants me to use the Questions Based 'selling Techniques'. This is not only for sales per say, but for any conversations that I may have. He is the one who recommended I read the above mentioned book.
I was fascinated by the book and thought of sharing the The 50 Questions with you.
