I’ll tell you what a yes-stack is.
This is when you are talking with a potentially ideal client about becoming an actual ideal client.
You ask questions that require a yes or no answer, so you can calibrate how the conversation is going.
You might ask them:
- Can you see yourself doing that?
- Do you feel like this is holding you back?
- Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to solve it?
- Would your life be better if we could solve this right now?
- If money were no object, would we be working together already?
- Taking money off the table, can we be getting started on this right away today?
- If we could work together for just a few weeks and make all that go away, would that be useful?
The more yeses you hear, the more momentum is built towards the final, inevitable Hell Yes – Let’s Do It!
Sometimes, creative, flowing open questions are great for triggering deep conversations.
But sometimes, you just want to KNOW, right?
