The concept of Buoyancy – a term explained by Daniel Pink in his book “To Sell is Human,” which includes three key elements to guide a person in a sales conversation: interrogative self-talk, positivity ratios, and explanatory style. Let’s take a look at all three of the elements and learn how they can create success in sales.
1. Interrogative Self-Talk (Before)
Interrogative self-talk is asking yourself questions, which is most beneficial in the preparation phase of selling. the questions set you up to pursue real answers, they give you problems to solve, solutions to seek, answers to find. And they inspire you to look for motivation and reasons within, resulting in real action. It also creates a motivation that involves selling yourself, which always works better than statements in the sales process.
2. Positivity Ratios (During)
Positivity ratios are a beneficial effect of positive emotions during the sales process. it demonstrates belief in the product or service you are selling. this belief allows you to look out for the well-being of your prospect and positively match a need to a solution.
3. Explanatory Style (After)
explanatory style can help you debrief negative experiences that can help impact future sales success. Or, debrief positive experiences that help you understand what made it successful and use it on the next sales pitch.

You break down the three key elements of buoyancy very well! I like the example questions and points you give in the first two elements. Something to note about positive ratios is that is important to have some negative emotions too, but you are right in saying that more positive emotions are better.
Overall, I think you did a great job of analyzing and describing the three key elements of Buoyancy. each point that you listed went deep in detail and overall did a wonderful job of telling the reader the element of Buoyancy and why it’s important.
