Over the past 20 years, I have shared “Billion Dollar Questions™” that have elevated the business game for hundreds of thousands of people.
These are billion dollar questions because by asking them, my clients have generated nearly $2 billion of new revenue.
No skill has paid off for me more than asking good questions.
Not just any questions.
Meaningful questions.
Penetrating questions.
Provocative questions.
Targeted questions.
Direct questions.
Compassionate questions.
Revealing questions.
Insightful questions.
I’ve accumulated dozens of “billion dollar questions” that work in all areas of life.
I share some of them in our NEW Game of Business briefings.
Here’s a sample of a BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION to ask when somebody calls you for help:
“WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO CALL ME, NOW?”
That which is said best is said briefly.
Let’s look at the power of these eight words.
This one question is really three revealing questions in one.
1 -What made you decide to call?
Tells you the motive(s) for the decision to call.
2- What made you decide to call ME?
Tells you why she picked you among all the possible service providers.
3 -What made you decide to call me, NOW?
Why NOW – what made him go from getting ready to being ready?
With one question, you discover buying motive, why they chose to call you, and what caused them to act NOW!
“What made you decide to call me now?” is a billion dollar question.
Add this question to your business today.
I can’t say it will make you a billion.
I can say it will elevate your game.
By asking a “billion dollar question” you get to the heart of a conversation quickly, and save two of life’s most treasured values…
Time and energy!
You add value to the people you serve by asking questions that matter.
I encourage you to ask this question in your very next conversation. Don’t wait. Waiting until you think you know enough is a delaying tactic.
Here’s a Billion Dollar mantra:
IMPERFECT ACTION BEATS PERFECT INACTION!
Take imperfect action.
Let me ask you a question.
HOW MUCH IS THIS BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION WORTH?
Nothing if you don’t use it.
If you use it, could it be worth $1,000 every year in time saved or business earned?
If you earn $50 an hour, saving 20 hours a year is worth $1,000.
If you sell a product or service, how many extra sales would earn an extra $1,000?
If you use it for 10 years, the “lifetime value” of this one question can be worth $10,000.
What if you had 10 of them?
Is it possible you could boost your income $10,000 a year?
With just 10 “billion dollar questions” you could add $100,000 to your lifetime income or personal net worth. For the people I know who use them every day, the numbers are far greater.
Imagine if you had 50 of them?
You really don’t need 50.
In truth, one “billion dollar question” can turn your fortunes around.
My friends Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen wrote a book called The Aladdin Factor.
The book can be summed up in two words:
JUST ASK!
Asking is essential to get what you want.
Asking is also necessary to help other people get what they want.
If you are in business to serve people, you elevate the game every time you ask a billion dollar question.
A billion dollar question can be as enlightening and magical for the person asking as it is for the person being asked.
Listen to this NEW Game of Business briefing for quite a few more billion dollar questions.
These BILLION DOLLAR QUESTIONS are “on the house!”
Enjoy.
