In this episode of the Master Deal Maker Secrets Podcast, we are going to talk about some ways you can ask questions to your clients in a more elegant and subtle manner. 
 
We are not talking about any kind of question, we are talking about more sensitive questions your client may be reluctant to talk about like, how much their monthly revenue is or what is the current profit in their business. 

Some people are more open to these topics, but some people aren’t, and what I’ve seen is that if you haven’t set a proper context before those questions are asked, people can misread your intentions and they’ll find themselves in a very uncomfortable position. 

That’s why today I’m sharing with you some alternatives. You will be able to soften those questions so that your client doesn’t feel like they are in an interrogation room. The whole idea is to help you establish good communication with them so you can ask for the information you need without it having to be an uncomfortable situation. 

Softeners are the things you put before asking a question that can make that same question come across and be received in a less confrontational way. 

These softeners make the “uncomfortable” questions a bit less aggressive, and a little bit more likely to slip under the radar so that you don’t make someone think, “Hmm, I don't really want to answer that”. 

Listen to this episode to know what these softeners are, they are a really powerful tool to use whenever you need your clients to give you crucial information about their current situation. They are incredibly useful and simple, trust me.

SUMMARY

Much-decorated professor and accomplished author, Charlotte Gray chronicles Reluctant Genius: Alexander Graham Bell and the Passion for Invention. Bell originally hailed from Scotland, emigrated to Canada for better health, and eventually settled in Boston, Massachusetts (USA) where he acted virtually solo while inventing what we know as the modern telephone. Although Bell felt miserable having to keep careful notes, his writings proved essential to his landmark patent, which ultimately made him the winner of the tight race to transmit human voices over wire. Says Gray, “His imaginative breakthrough is…what makes Alexander Graham Bell the quintessential inventor of the nineteenth century—the era when an untrained individual working alone could dream up such a crucial scientific advance.”

KEY CHARACTERS

• Alexander Graham Bell – the father of modern communications and inventor of the telephone
• Melville Bell – Alexander’s father who taught him the physics and nuances of sound; inventor of “Visible Speech” to help the hearing-impaired assimilate into the hearing world; plagued by a degree of jealousy towards his son-in-law while also insisting Bell complete and submit his patent application
• Mabel Hubbard – student-turned-wife of Bell ten years his younger; went deaf at age five from scarlet fever
• Gertrude Mercer McCurdy – Alexander’s mother-in-law, a deaf woman, who insisted her daughter Mabel pursue rigorous intellectual achievements
• Gardiner Greene Hubbard – Bell’s father-in-law and business partner; instrumental in getting Bell to file a timely patent
• Samuel F.B. Morse – invented the Morse Code, an invention that catapulted the speed of communications
• Elisha Gray –rival inventor who first congratulated Bell then later disputed the win
• Thomas Edison – Bell’s contemporary and competitor; enjoyed the process of invention more than the inventions themselves
• Helen Keller – deaf and dumb genius; contemporary of Bell who often invited Bell to her own stage appearances
• Thomas Watson – Bell’s 22-year-old assistant of the famous “Watson, come here” moment

QUOTES FROM GRAY

• “Electricity seemed to them like an invisible power, and if they could harness it, they could go to the moon.”
• “European ‘oralists’ appealed to the notion of speech as God’s special gift to mankind, which it was cruel to withhold from deaf children. Since the Renaissance, the human voice had been regarded as an image of the divine soul, and language as the source of civilization.”
• “[Bell] never accepted the argument that sign language was ‘natural,’ and he continued to insist that most deaf children were better off if they remained in the speaking world.”
• “Today, we can understand the technological revolution of Bell’s day only if we compare it with the impact that microprocessors have had on our own lives.”

BUY Reluctant Genius: Alexander Graham Bell and the Passion for Invention

• BUY Dial M for Murder (DVD)
• BUY the '90s romantic comedy, Sleepless In Seattle, and see how the telephone plays an essential role in society.

In this week's episode we discussing the live-action film The Reluctant Dragon.  This is definitely shorter than others, due to the lack of plotline, nut it is still packed full of amazing Disney trivia.  We hope you enjoy this episode and we thank you for joining us.

This week we live in the taboo, the messy, and the sometimes woo woo. That’s right: We’re on the rag, riding the crimson wave….we’re BLEEDING love. Valarie Merced (aka The Blood Queen) schools us on why it’s important for her to bleed on her lovers. From seeing her mother’s menstruation to the safeties and physiological response during menstruation, this episode is for people with vulvas AND those who enjoy them. Hell, how often do we get to talk about period and period sex? Strap on your Thinx and your Diva cups, it’s gonna get red. PLUS we challenge you to post a selfie with a “Simba” blood mark on your forehead & use #isourlovebleeding. Will this be the next ice bucket challenge? ...probably not. But... why not?

Lorrae and Stephen bond over seeing themselves as the problem child in the aftermath of a breakup, while Lola questions why most people tend to always make a villain out of their ex.

We’re back from a *brief* hiatus to bring you the first episode of 2020. We’re getting all kinds of heady dissecting the phrasing, attire and spaces we frequent and what makes then “queer” “kinky” “sexy” etc…. How do we react to each of these individually and how do they influence or affect our behavior. Kinky queer architect Vanilla Honey shares her kink journey from her first experience with latex to her fantasy of designing the minimalist dungeon of your dreams. We question what is normal and why are we so concerned with it?

This week’s Is Our Love ___? hits us right in the babymaker. Cartoonist and budding comedian Morganna Nickoff (@morganna.jokes) joins us to question our fertility and our own opinions on why is it that we do or do not want offspring. What does it say about you if you do want kids and when should you start worrying about that biological clock a’ticking? Fresh from freezing her own eggs mere weeks before recording this episode, Morganna spills all the tea on what the entire process was like from the hormonal shots down to how much pocket change is required to pluck those golden eggs from her ovaries.

Sometimes love feels like a struggle, but sometimes… maybe we want it too? Wrestling fetish is the biggest craze you’ve never heard about and it’s a lot more common than you think. Before we throw down, we sit with professional fetish wrestler Ursa Fierce to talk about the primal-ness, competitive, and smothering nature of this sport. From pro-style antics to the Butt-Fights you won't want to miss. Ursa explains how wrestling gave her a new perspective on her body and what the sport, the fetish, and the community has taught her. Oh yeah, and then she wipes the fucking floor with Stephen's face, LIVE!
