Sales Dialogue Tip: Using Clean-Up Questions in Consultative Selling
A clean-up question is a simple but powerful sales dialogue skill used at the end of a meeting to uncover any additional information that may not have surfaced earlier. By inviting the customer to share final thoughts, concerns, or context, sales professionals can clarify understanding, surface hidden priorities, and leave the conversation more complete without sounding pushy or scripted.
