subject: How To Find Out What They Are Thinking Before You Solicit For The Sale Or The Telephone Number [print this page] Sometimes when you are in a conversation with somebody, it comes time to ask a big, important question. Whether it's asking for the sale or asking for their phone number, these questions can be tricky both for the asker, and the person being asked. But there is a secret trick you can use to covertly find out what they are thinking before you actually ask the question.
This tends to work in a number of ways. For instance, if you were a salesperson and wanted to find out how well you were doing in your sales presentation, you could not very well ask the client how well you were doing. But you may use one of these simple tactics to find out how close they were to being influenced to purchase your product. When they were convinced, then simply ask for your order. Whenever they weren't very influenced yet, you would know you had a little more work to do.
These procedures also work well in societal conditions. For example you are talking to somebody interesting at a communal meeting, and you'd like to ask for their phone number, but you aren't quite sure. If they say yes, then it's all good. But when they are saying no, then you're rejected, and it's basically the end of this discussion. But whenever you use these simple techniques, it will be much less complicated to test and see the way you're doing.
The very first technique is always to ask a rhetorical inquiry that features the query you'd really like to ask. For example, if you'd like to ask for that sale, you could ask something like, "I do not know if you've decided to buy this or not, but let me provide you with yet one more feature that many people really love."
When you say the "buy this or not" part, watch their reaction closely. Whenever they smile a bit, or open up their eyes slightly wider, you're good to go. But if they pucker up like they just ate a lemon, cross their legs and turn their body away from you, then you've some more work ahead of you.
Another technique is to quote another person who was in a similar situation to yours, and quote them as if they were talking to the same customer. For example, you may say something like, "My coworker is really aggressive. After only about five minutes, he looks right at the client and says buy this product!" Then shake your head as if your coworker is crazy.
Like before, when you get to the "buy this product" part, watch them closely. Do they raise their eyebrows and tilt their head as if they are on to something, and they're seriously considering it? Or do they look at you as if you'd just eaten their last slice of pizza? Anyway, you'll know very well what to do next.
