    Customers have needs and want. During the sales process, what is the best way to identify those needs and wants?

    • Listening

    • Ask in-depth probing questions

    • Tell the customer from the beginning what products they need

    • Both a and b

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a and b
    Explanation
    The best way to identify customers' needs and wants during the sales process is by both listening to them and asking in-depth probing questions. Listening allows the salesperson to understand the customer's requirements and preferences, while asking in-depth probing questions helps to gather more specific information and uncover any hidden needs or desires. By combining these two approaches, the salesperson can gain a comprehensive understanding of the customer's needs and wants, enabling them to provide tailored solutions and enhance the overall sales experience.

    Every sales call needs to end with a Sale.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is not true because not every sales call will result in a sale. Sales calls are made to engage with potential customers, understand their needs, and offer solutions. The ultimate goal is to make a sale, but it is not guaranteed on every call. Sales calls can also be used for building relationships, gathering information, or providing customer support, which may not directly lead to a sale. Therefore, the statement is false.

Attempting to contact the owner by phone is important because the owner is the only person allowed to approve a product return. This shows that you are following the store policy and trying to find a solution.

By doing both, you are showing empathy towards the customer while also following the proper procedures.

    • Do you want to buy

    • All of the above

    • None of the Above

Therefore, the correct answer is "How would this make the loading of the grain faster" as it meets the criteria of an open-ended question.
