SITUATION QUESTIONS
                (Sales Executive to Sales Co-coordinator of a
                Commercial client).

Definition: Finding out facts about the client’s
               existing situation.

Example:      “My information tells me that you have considerable
              Business Travel and VFR (traffic to Europe. Since we
              have direct flights to Europe can you tell me more
              about it?”

Impact:       Least powerful, can put off the buyer!

Advice:       Eliminate unnecessary Situation Questions by doing
              your research, cold calls and home work’ in advance.
PROBLEM QUESTIONS.

Definition: Asking about problems, difficulties or dissatisfactions
               that your client may be facing in the existing situation.

Example:      What difficulties do you face in giving prompt and
              efficient service to your business executive traveling
              under short notice?

Impact:       More powerful than ‘Situation Questions.’
              Experienced Sales Executives ask more of these
              questions as they help to pin point the client’s needs.

Advice:       Think how your product/services can solve your
              client’s problems – not in terms of the characteristics
              of your product/services.
IMPLICATION QUESTIONS

Definition:   Asking about the consequences or effects of your client not
              addressing his problems, difficulties or dissatisfactions.

Example:      What inconveniences your executives face while traveling on
              business trips due insufficient frequency of other airlines?

              What would it mean to your executives if they could change
              their travel plans according to the ever changing business
              requirements?

Impact:       Most powerful of all SPIN questions – Successful Sales
              Executives ask lots of ‘Implication Questions.’

Advice:       These questions are the hardest to ask as they have to be
              framed in such a way that the agent feels the impact and extent
              of lost opportunity.
NEED-PAYOFF QUESTIONS.

Definition:   Asking about the value or usefulness of a proposed solution.

Example:      How do you think our higher frequency facilitate your
              business travel? And what impact would that have on
              your business?

              How could it make your job easier so that you could focus
              on other important issues?

Impact:       Top Sales Executives use these questions extensively as
              they leave a positive impact on the clients.

Advice:       Use these questions to get your clients to tell you the benefits
              that your solution has to offer!
THINK ABOUT THIS ...

"Most People Aim at Nothing in Life, and Hit it
          with Amazing Accuracy“

"Prescription Before Diagnosis is Malpractice.“

 "People Don't Buy Because They're Made to
   Understand, They Buy Because They Feel
                Understood."

     The sale begins when the customer says…”Yes"
