1. You want to ask open ended questions to see if the customers are really interested. These are types of question that you can't answer with yes or no.

2. Open ended questions reveal a lot of information about the customers. People like to talk about them selves and will tell you everything they are looking for.

3. The sales person talked about things that weren't related to the car.

4. If customers answer open ended questions they will tell you exactly what they want. At that point you are able to show them the needs that they want also develop a relationship with them. Give them a reason not to buy and the sale will close.

2. When asking open ended questions, the customer can respond with more information, so you can figure out their needs.

4. If your interview is successful then the deal will close itself. By the end of the interview, the customer should want to buy a product from the salesperson.
