Before your next call, take 2 minutes to prep. This will help you ask better questions that eliminate objections before they raise their ugly head.

 

  • βœ… Review your notes: What do you already know about this prospect?

  • βœ… Clarify your goal: You’re not here to pitch—you’re here to understand.

  • βœ… Choose 3 core questions: One about the pain, one about the desire, one about the gap.

  • βœ… Pick one “curveball” question: Something unexpected that gets them thinking (e.g., “What would solving this unlock for you personally?”)

  • βœ… Practice reflection: Prepare to repeat back what you hear—so they feel seen and understood.

  • βœ… Prep your mindset: Curiosity over control. Presence over pitch. Partnership over persuasion.

 

This simple prep sets you up to uncover the truth—and earn trust faster than any sales script ever could.
