There is more power in asking “open-ended” questions than “Yes-No” type.

What problem are you trying to solve?
Who are the players?
When is a solution desired?
How does this effect the client’s customers?
Where is the negative impact felt?
Describe for me…
Tell me about…

Consultative selling at its best.

Thanks for summing it up so nicely. This is the PG13 version of his speech;-) Gary’s passion and energy are amazing.

He acted and sounded almost like Joe Pesci – only better.

Study not only your market, but your competitors. Or is this too obvious?

One of the best things I’ve learned about recently is Competitive Intelligence from Suki Fuller and how to study your competition, to listen, to take those tidbits you gather form multiple places and learn to put them together into meaningful answers.

This can be remarkably helpful for #8 too.

One more thing that I find really important in this space.

Be explicit about what you don’t do – there are many, confusing, overlapping claims by providers in this space. When you say what you don’t do it adds clarity and understanding.

[...] This year was one for the record books, as Robert “MeatMan” Scoble continued an 8 year run for the “All Media Personality” Cup, and brutally put down Louis “The Gentleman” Gray in the 21st round with a combination roundhouse-uppercut, followed by a face-crushing triple-knee. It was an exhausting day for the wiley veteran, as he defended the AMP Cup against 18 other competitors, including Brian “Power Roundhouse” Solis and Chris “Bragadoccio” Brogan. [...]
