    When salespeople ask questions about theusefulness of solving a problem, they are

    asking need payoff questions.Examples:

    If I can show you a way to eliminate paying

    overtime for your operators and thereforereduce your costs, would you be interested?

    So if I understand you correctly, a fasterstamping process is important to you?

    If the buyer responds negatively to a needpayoff question, the salesperson has not

    identified a serious need.
