Ohhhhh… another music reference as I break out some Naughty by Nature… lol.
Feel Me Flow…
Questions are good… but a STACK of questions that are used to get someone feeling strong emotions are much, much, better.
Case in point for my next installment of the 21 Questions series… my 4 question stack…
4. “So tell me, when was the last time that you were satisfied (completely happy) with your life”.
Ah… now we’re pulling someone into a state of remembering the good times. Naturally, when people THINK about good times… they FEEL good.
Delve into what makes someone happy… find out more about what makes them tick…
… then follow with…
5. “On a scale of 1-10… 10 being the best or happiest that you could possibly be… where were you back then”.
Okay, now we’re quantifying the happiness… and putting a numerical value to it… now the happiness is CONCRETE most people are going to say that they were a 10 back then… or maybe a 9.
If they say a 5… you should probably bail as this person will NEVER be happy.
After they finish… and maybe after a little small talk… follow with…
6. “Okay, where do you think you are on the happiness scale RIGHT NOW in your life”
Most people are going to give you a low ball number… and this question will probably get you a chuckle or two.
But… what we’re looking for is the CONTRAST between the two numbers given…
Think about it… if she just told you the she was 10 back in the day… but now she’s ONLY a 6 on the happiness scale… that STINGS a bit. Trust me. Now… we KNOW that she’s thinking about happiness and having fun… we drop the closing question…
7. “So how shall we remedy this situation. Obviously, you’re not as happy as you SHOULD be… how can we pull you up to a 10″
Of course, you give a sly smile as this just totally opened the conversation up to ANYTHING…
It could be a change of location… it could be a kiss… it could be going to the house and getting freaky.
Who knows… but the fact is that she now knows that she’s not as happy right now as she SHOULD be… and that generally brings about a sense of adventure… and maybe some risk taking.
Either way, she’s now looking to you to help in that department… and if I know you… you’ll gladly help out
So what do you think… do you think you’ve got great “pre-qual” questions?
If so, put ‘em in the comments section and maybe I’ll use one later.
More tomorrow… think Cheetah until then.
