Specific survey questions are designed to give prospects a chance to describe in more detail a problem, issue, or dissatisfaction from their point of view.
2. Probing questions—are designed to uncover and clarify the prospect's buying problem and the circumstances surrounding the problem.
3. Confirmation questions—are used throughout the sales process to verify the accuracy and assure a mutual understanding of information exchanged by the salesperson and the buyer.
