This is part three in a series of posts about why and how to build critical thinking skills you can use to excel in selling. Be sure to bookmark the CONNECT2Sell Blog or subscribe to our weekly newsletter so you won’t miss these posts. Each one offers additional ways to build your mental might.
The critical thinking skill we’re focusing on in this post is asking more purposeful questions. Sure, anyone can ask questions. In the typical sales process, there’s a step dedicated to asking questions. But asking quality, high-value, effective questions is a whole other story. Not everyone can do that. Successful sellers work to perfect the questions they ask, using critical thinking skills to craft questions that advance the sale and to know what to do with the responses given to questions asked.
