Curiosity might’ve killed the cat, but it can save your conversations. I sat down with sales expert Julia Ewert, who proves that asking the right questions is a skill we all need to be investing in. We uncover how to turn small talk into opportunities, whether you’re at a networking event, in a sales meeting, or just trying not to sound awkward at the office coffee machine. Julia spills her best question-asking secrets, the kind that build trust, showcase credibility, and handle rejection tactfully. We talk about how to navigate budget conversations and scripts of what to say to get people talking whether it’s your kids or a stranger at an event. You’ll walk away with: - Smart ways to go beyond “How are you?” - Tricks for handling budget conversations without cringing - Kim’s take on how to get your client to narrow down a budget - Quick rapport-building moves that actually work Here’s the truth: great communicators aren’t born, they’re curious. Let me know if you use them in your next conversation! I’ve found myself saying “tell me more” ever since we talked!
