If you do not truly understand the intent of the prospects question, ask another question that will lay the intent of the question out on the table plain and simple. The key to this rule is to be digging deeper into the full meaning and full intent of what the prospects wants or needs.\u00a0This rule will also lessen the amount of stress that you are putting on yourself during a sale, because you are not having to answer the question directly. It allows you to be able to have more time to think about how to answer the question by asking another couple of question to understand more about the root of the concern.<\/p>\n<p>Sandler Rule #13: No mind reading<\/p>\n<p>Another rule that I liked learning about was about how a salesman is to not mind read the prospect. A lot of people are quick to judge or automatically assume certain answers or characteristics of people. The problem with this is that if you judge or assume the wrong answers, you could be missing out on an ever bigger pain of your client and than sacrifice having them leave the sale unsatisfied. If you &#8220;mind read&#8221; and &#8220;gain&#8221; incorrect information about the client you are sacrificing not truly knowing the client and what they actually need from the sale that you are discussing with them. If you leave a sale with wrong information or not enough information you could risk the client not returning to you in the future or you could also risk the client backing out of the sale.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Answering the Question with a Question &amp; No Mind Reading are 2 Sandler rules that I found to be interesting.
