IDENTIFICATION and INTEPRETATION OF NEEDS
HANDY TOOLS:
When you ask a question – and they are
answering – nod – when they stop, keep
taking notes – wait two seconds while
nodding your head. Human instinct is to
share more – uncomfortable silences lead to
them sharing more information!
IDENTIFICATION and INTEPRETATION OF NEEDS
Peoples attention spans are
between 30 and 60 seconds.
When asked a question and
responding – restate the question
– add a related component,
respond with a client story – and
when done – pose another open
ended question!
Once you know the pain chains –
boil them down to 3 core concepts
that matter. Always relate your
stories back to these 3 items –
people will remember your three
key items over anything else.
13. IDENTIFICATION and INTEPRETATION OF NEEDS

Each time someone mentions offside app, lengthy
process, difficulty – you should ask how that impacts
the rest of the organization. Identify the client of each
person – is the Trader the client of the trade liasion –
ask the traders opinion of what they’d like – play back
messages.
