In sales or a interview with a broad Be the one asking the questions. Because the person that is asking the questions has all the power and will control the conversation and the result of the conversation. People will weaponize trick questions to get you on the defense, to throw you off, to get something for free and to sell you on their reason to not buy. I use this system. I ask them the questions like they are qualifying. So when I ask them a question like do you have kids (then I answer it like “I have six kids who live in three homes with three separate girlfriends of mine, oh yeah I’m poly asf) and then look at them or if on phone I sit quiet to give them a chance to answer. And as. Bonus for y’all I also coach them (like I don’t date girls who don’t have kids) but I say that if she looks like a baby mama and had a baby before. I help her qualify with this tactic.
