So compelling that they will ask you the big question

Have you ever been speaking with someone and you just couldn't wait to ask them the big question? You know, the big question that makes you want to interrupt the conversation. It's the question that you just have to have answered or you will burst at the seams.

Isn't it awesome how people who are so excited about something have a way of telling such a compelling story that you just want to stop them in mid stream and ask them the big question. You're saying, OK, Ced, what's the big question? Gotcha, you just asked it.

You have just been participating in a short compelling read along that purposed to get you to ask a specific question. Now can you imagine how you could use phraseology that would get people to want to stop you in the middle of you talking about your offering?

This is one of the secrets to get people to willingly want to be involved with you. They sense a genuine excitement and feel compelled enough to want to investigate what it is you're talking about. I have a good friend who is a master story teller and he uses this technique to perfection.

Here's something to keep in mind when you're connecting with people. Do as much homework as you can before you start leading them down the road to ask the big question. Get to know a little bit about the people you are speaking with. They'll appreciate it when you speak about things that willingly tell you that interest them.

In closing, here's a couple of samples of big questions:

1. How do I find out more...?
2. How can I get started...?
3. Where can I get...?
4. Can I do...?
5. When can we...?

These are just a few. Do you have any big questions that you wish people would ask you? If you don't mind, we would love it if you would share a few of your desired big questions.

Stay blessed,
