SITUATIONAL Questions•Factual Questions• E.g. how much is the margin
does XXX offer?•Ask economically•Senior the Buyer – Less Situational Q•IMPACT : Least of all SPIN Q hence eliminate unnecessary
Questions
Problem Questions•Think of our product in terms of the problem it can solve• E.g. What is the difficulty in
using XXX product on fabric?
•Pitch product by addressing the problems rather by explaining features •IMPACT : More than Situational Q. Develops with experience
Implication Questions•They address the wants or desires.• E.g. What if the demand for
XXX shoots up and you are short of stock?
•Hardest to ask and must be planned before key calls •IMPACT : Maximum impact as the buyer tends to think. Top salesmen ask a lot of these.
Need Payoff Questions•They focus on solutions. The buyer himself tells you the benefits your solution offers• E.g. How much business
would you lose if the stock is not available for a month?
•Buyer dos the talking•IMPACT : Constructive Q always have a positive impact and used by top salesmen.
• Putting SPIN into Practice:
