The purpose of this Sales Tool is to help you capture and organize your best connection questions, so that you are always ready to ask the right questions and meaningfully connect.

Asking more creative or personal connection questions can break your conversation partner out of auto-pilot and serve to differentiate you as a conversationalist (aka a great person to talk to). These types of questions open a window to something more interesting and build a deeper connection.
