“Tell Me More About That”: Stop Forcing Sales and Start Asking Questions

Lamont Page, a service technician at Worley's Home Services in Yorktown, VA, is no stranger to long days with nonstop work calls. But soon after starting at Worley’s, his bosses told him to do something extraordinary — stop working so hard.

That’s when they shipped him off to Arizona to work with Derrek Hofrichter, Business Coach and Trainer atService Business Evolution (SBE). SBE works with technicians to up their sales game by building real relationships with their customers. And it starts with listening and asking questions.
