Discovery of Biggest Challenges - BC's
Why This Question Works
It shows people that we care, shows them we are interested in them, it creates curiosity and interest because this is such a powerful question. You ARE NOT trying to sell them anything, get them to do anything, as you aren't in a position to know what might be good / beneficial to them until you find their biggest challenge and/or other key information about them.
The reason the biggest challenge question works so well is that it reveals the individuals pain, where they are hurting in any area of their business / life. If you want to see some of the biggest challenges others have had and how people have helped them without selling them anything you can visit - http://TheVisionProject.net/ BIGGESTChallenge.htm for business and http://TheVisionProject.net/ CareerSuccess_ BIGGESTChallenge.htm for personal.
One solution which would help anyone, in any situation and not cost anyone anything is to recommend Career Success - http://TheVisionProject.net/ CareerSuccess.htm Imagine . . . if you were to help someone change their life forever and it only took them six minutes of their time and didn't cost them a dollar. What would that do for building trust and connecting into their network?_________________________________________________

HI <firstname>,
I trust things are going well for you and someone asked me an interesting question and I thought I would ask you the same question.
"What is the biggest challenge you are facing in any area of your personal / professional life?"
When I was asked this question, I was kind of caught off guard, but after I thought about it, I did come up with something and passed along to this individual. What's interesting is how quickly they came back with a couple of ideas on how to help me and how good that made both of us feel.
I don't know if I could help you with a challenge / problem you're facing in your life, but who knows, I might have an idea or two.
Let me know if you would like to catch up.
Sincerely,_________________________________________________

Could you help me?

HI <firstname>,
I am part of a new mastermind seminar group. I don't know if you've ever heard of Napoleon Hill and what he discovered in studying some of the most successful people of his day . . . "Whatever the mind and conceive and believe, it can achieve."
I have a quick question for you . . . .
"What is the biggest challenge you are facing in any area of your personal / professional life?"
The reason I ask this question is because I'm part of a new mastermind group and there's been a challenge given to the group to come up with a challenge / problem someone is facing that we as a group aren't able to help in some way or another.
Here are some of the challenges others have come up with and then Speed Coaching sessions to give people insight. I found this most interesting and thought you might as well. http://TheVisionProject.net/ BIGGESTChallenge.htm
This group is really about bringing economic benefit to our community through Community and Business Partnerships. There is no cost to participate, other than maybe the cost of your own meal and nothing is being sold. It's all about learning how to help people within community based groups partner with businesses to create a WIN WIN WIN for everyone.
The group I am connected to is focused on helping __________________. There are groups forming all around the world focused on whatever people have a passion for.
I've participated in a number of groups and networking activities and I can honestly say "I have never participated in anything like this before."
One of the visionary founders of the group is Tom Kunz who is the past President of CENTURY 21 which is the largest real estate franchise in the world. Tom also was helped raise over 100 million dollars for Easter Seals. His live long goal is to raise over one billion dollars for community based organizations and generate billions of dollars for local businesses all at the same time.
Pretty interesting concept and I thought you might benefit from it.
Give me a call if you would like to just catch up or if you had any further questions about the group.
Sincerely,
