Knowing the right questions to ask has the following benefits in the sales process:

Utilizing the right questions in the sales process helps your prospect take more responsibility over their decisions and actions.
You can use the right questions to motivate people and also to find the right clients early on in the sales pitch.
One of the most effective strategies in using the right questions is to pay attention and clean up your language. Consider that many of your questions may be focused on what you want and your needs rather than what the customer wants.
This is something to consider as you are asking questions. Also, many questions are full of assumptions about the other person. Consider the following question and see if you can find the assumption:
"So when did you stop smoking?"
There is an assumption that the person smokes. In order to influence your customers you must clean up your questions and remove these types of assumptions and focus on the needs and wants of your customer during the sales process.
Try to be respectful of your customer's views, values and beliefs. Avoid pushing a customer to what you want instead of listening to what they want. Pay attention to the words they are using and try to use them in your language.
The other thing to pay attention to during the sales process is making too many generalizations or creating limitations and limited beliefs in yourself and your potential customers. Try to avoid using the following word phrases:
You should
You must
You can't
You ought to
These phrases are attempts to enforce your will and wants into the situation. Pay close attention and avoiding using those types of phrases in any sales presentation, it could upset the sales process.
When you are asking questions, be sure that you have focus and a clear outcome in mind. Here is a sample sentence:
"What can I do to help you buy a new car today?"
It is simple and to the point. Your focus is on the fact that they really want to buy a car and you are asking what you need to do to help them in achieving their goal. You are opening up the dialogue for them to tell you want they want, whether it be a specific car, a certain price and a particular color or accessory.
You allowing and encouraging them to give you the details so that you direct your sale. Even if you have a strong opinion about their needs try not to allow it show in your language. For instance:
"You don't really want that car. The one over here has better gas mileage and warranty."
Now did the customer state that gas mileage or warranty were important to them? If you not then you are making assumptions that may lose the sale for you and your company. They might want a gas guzzling car with no warranty that they plan to trade in six months. If they did mention gas mileage you might change your language a bit from the prior example:
"The car you are looking at only gets fifteen miles to the gallon. Didn't you say that gas mileage was important? The car over here not only has better gas mileage but it also has an extended warranty that will give you the peace of mind that you mentioned."
The sales process can be greatly enhanced by using the right words to attract your customers and asking the right questions and really cleaning up and directing your language to meet your prospect's needs in order to finalize the sale.
