Understand Customers' Needs

Selling is a process of uncovering and satisfying the customers' needs. What is a need? A need is a customer want or desire that can be satisfied by your product or service. Selling is about establishing needs and the way to do this is by asking questions. To understand customers, most companies and salespeople have survey forms for their customers to fill in. The aim is to understand their customers and to ultimately serve their customers better.

Where surveys are concerned, it takes time and careful consideration to design a useful survey that would yield the right results. There are basically two types of questions: open and closed. An open question is one, which encourages a customer to answer freely. It cannot be answered with only a yes or no and allows the customer to elaborate. Open questions only begin with Who, where, when, how, what, why and which. Closed questions limit the customers' response to either a yes or no or to a choice among alternatives that you supply.
