I'm looking to purchase a new roof, you're the rep for the roofing company. The overview would include the elements or the steps of the sales process.EXAMPLE: "Teri, while we are together today I'd like to better understand what's important to you when replacing your roof - such as the style, the color, as well as the budget you are looking to stay within.

Why?Answer:Qualifying. Qualifying is critical because:if you don't understand my needs or wants;if you don't understand what motivates me to buy; if you don't know who the decision makers are; if you don't know if I could afford what you have; How are you going CLOSE the sale? DON'T FRUSTRATE YOURSELF!Ask great questions and listen for the answers (objections, concerns, fears).Question 3) List the top three steps in the qualifying process?Answer: 1. Identifying the decision maker. 2. Identifying that there is a need or want. 3. Identifying affordability.Question 4) Of the top three which is most important.
