How Julia Shapiro Asked Tough Questions to Reel in a Slow-Moving Client

The questions you learn to ask throughout the years in sales become one of your most valuable tools. That tool comes from being battle-tested. Being able to recognize the scenario/situation from previous deals, and knowing exactly what to ask to catch it before it goes off the rails and is lost. 

A lot of the time those questions are tough. It takes confidence, courage, and advanced sales knowledge to know just what to ask. 

On today's Deal Breakdown Podcast, Julia Shapiro showcases her advanced sales skills and ability to ask her client's the difficult questions that take a client moving at a glacier pace to full speed closing.

“I realize we are unhappy with our current vendor, but we have decided to give them one more chance to fix things.”

Especially when it means you lost the deal AND you must wait 3 to 5 years for their contract to expire for the next chance at their business. 

What happens if it takes over 8 years?

In this episode of The Deal Breakdown podcast, Christine Story, shows what it means to be patient, persistent and professional in winning over an account that kept giving her bad news.
