The one type of question that is designed to fuel the funnel with the right kinds of sales opportunities.
The characteristics of a good challenge question that you need to be asking.
Chris shares examples of what a good challenge question sounds like.
Through his examples, Chris reveals that it is relatively easy to ask the right kind of question and yet, he talked about why more reps don't do it.
