One night at the dinner table, I did him a favor.
I said, “Kevin, I’m going to press you on this. Tomorrow night when we sit down for dinner, I want you to announce to the family where you are going to college. You have 24 hours to make your choice. Got it? Pass the potatoes.”
Think about that for a moment – was that gambling data taiwan closing question assertive? Aggressive, even?
I pressed Kevin for a firm answer and I gave him a firm deadline. I would call that assertive behavior on my part.
But the more important question is this: Was it an APPROPRIATE closing question?
In this case, yes. And why? Because the closing question was in Kevin’s best interest.
By requiring him to make a choice, I freed him up to choose because I knew he absolutely needed to do so and that he would benefit from having made the decision.
Closing questions always come down to a question of motive. HOW you ask is secondary… WHY you ask is what really matters.
