In contrast, successful reps ignore traditional techniques and instead focus on asking four different types of questions in a certain order, the SPIN sequence: <strong>1)<\/strong> <strong>S-Situation questions<\/strong>, <strong>2) P-Problem questions<\/strong>, <strong>3) I-Implication questions<\/strong>, and <strong>4) N-Need-payoff questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Problem Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPIN Selling problem questions are intended to reveal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/implied-needs-spin-selling\/\">implied needs<\/a>. They ask customers what their problems and frustrations are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problem questions examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How is your current equipment working for you?<\/li><li>What are the shortcomings of your system?<\/li><li>Does your aging equipment create problems for you with quality or speed?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Research indicates that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In all sales, problem questions impact success more than situation questions do.<\/li><li>In smaller sales, questions are a predictor of success. The more SPIN problem questions a rep asks, the more likely she\u2019ll make a sale. When reps get training to ask these questions in small sales, their sales jump.<\/li><li>In successful small sales, reps ask twice as many problem questions as reps do in unsuccessful small sales.<\/li><li>In larger sales, questions <em>don\u2019t<\/em> have a major effect on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/sales-success\/\">sales success<\/a> (discussed below).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sense that the questions would contribute more to sales success than fact-finding or situation questions do\u2014because when you uncover problems you can address, you have something relevant to offer the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, SPIN problem questions engage customers because you\u2019re talking about something they\u2019re interested in, as opposed to taking up their time with routine and possibly repetitive situation questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Problem Questions in Major Sales<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While SPIN selling problem questions contribute strongly to success in small sales, they\u2019re just a starting point for building needs in large sales. Remember, in larger sales, once you uncover implied needs, you need to build them up into explicit needs, because the customer must perceive the need to be greater when the cost of solving it is greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In larger sales, questions are an important building block, although they don\u2019t create success in and of themselves the way they do in smaller sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problem questions help get to the root of the customer&#8217;s needs, and help you forge a connection. With problem questions, you&#8217;ll be able to work closely with customers in the sale. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are problem questions in SPIN selling, and how can you use them to make a sale?
