CLOSED QUESTIONS
• Check understanding
• Affirmation
• Specific
• Yes/No answers
Examples:
• Will I get a response by tomorrow?
• Do we agree on this decision?
• Are you happy with the services that we
provide?
OPEN QUESTIONS
• Explanation
• Details
• Thoughts
• Ideas
• Feedback
• Wh-words
Examples:
• What happened at the conference
today?
• Could you please describe your needs
and current circumstances?
• What do you think about this conclusion
/ discussion?
FUNNEL QUESTIONS
• Start with general questions
• End with specific questions
• Ask for a lot of details
Examples:
• When was the call made?
• Do you know the name of the person
whom you spoke to?
• What sort of behaviour did they exhibit?
• What was your call about?
• What questions did you ask?
• What was the response?
PROBING QUESTIONS
• Gather more details
• Clarify doubts
• Clarify misunderstandings
Examples:
• What exactly is the current situation?
• Who exactly is requiring these details?
• What is exactly this information needed
for?
• Where exactly will you be using this?
• What types of products do you need,
how and where will you be using them?
• Can you be more specific?
CL ARIFYING QUESTIONS
• Verify information
• Confirm information
Examples:
• Just to confirm, you have taken land line
unlimited broadband and television package.
Is that correct?
• Before we finish, let me go through this. You
need a person to call you at lunch time and
dinner, 30 minutes each. Is that correct?
• Am I right in confirming that the delivery will
be in 3 days’ time?
• Am I right in believing that you all
understand that tomorrow is the last day for
submitting your paperwork?
TO EFFECTIVELY ASK QUESTIONS
YOU NEED TO:
• Listen effectively so that you are able to
formulate the next question.
• Use positive words and motivate the
questioned person to answer effectively.
• Maintain confidence, so that the customer or
client or anyone else who is talking trusts
you to give an answer.
• ask relevant questions and never random
questions as this will be totally out of the
subject that is being discussed.
LET’S PRACTICE!
