Asking Open-Ended Questions (Knowledge)

Suggested Strategy: Does the employee have the knowledge and an

arsenal of open-ended questions to use in real-life situations with

members?

Suggested Questions:

→ Teach Me: What is your understanding of open-ended questions that can be used in your position? → Success Imperative: How can you successfully use open-ended questions with your members to further your upselling or cross-selling

abilities?

Suggested Activities:

→ Whiteboard Coaching: Create a list together of open- ended questions and map out the situations that they

can be used in on a whiteboard. Then brainstorm what

the effects of those questions might be for a member

versus using a yes or no question (what the interaction

could potentially lead to).

→ Learning Project Prep: Make the introduction between your employee and one of their peers that generally has

good relationships with members with successful sales.

Explain the purpose of the introduction, which is to

complete the activity described below.
