What You'll Learn

Open vs. Closed — and When to Use Each

Both have their place. Knowing when to use which is the difference between a quick transaction and a meaningful conversation

The Question Stems That Actually Work

"What", "How", "Tell me about" — and the question stems that sound open but aren't (looking at you, "Don't you think…")

Following Up Without Interrogating

How to keep digging without making the customer feel like they're being interviewed — the rhythm that builds trust

Listening for the Real Answer

The difference between hearing words and hearing what they mean — plus the phrases that make customers feel heard

Closing Without Re-Pitching

Using what you actually heard to make the recommendation, not the script's recommendation
