ADVICE

Ask Simple Questions Before Features

  • Ask simple, direct qualification questions like 'Have you thought about your ceremony?' before launching into features.
  • Use their answers to introduce relevant benefits instead of reciting features.
ADVICE

Ask For The Sale And Then Shut Up

  • When you sense buying readiness, ask for the sale directly and then stop talking.
  • Use phrases like 'Are you ready to make us your DJ for the night?' and let the couple decide together.
INSIGHT
