iPrice Group report offers insights on daily e-commerce activity in the Philippines and Southeast. Statistically, you stand a better chance for success if you have some sort of strategic ask in almost everything that you do — in-person, on the phone, over email, or on social media.
Think about it: If you make one additional ask per day and convert at around 10 percent. Then you have three people each month providing you with benefits that you’d have missed otherwise It’s essential to make sure that your ask relates to some direct path to what you want, whether it is revenue, a business relationship or anything else of prime importance to you.
“Dreams and dedication are powerful combination.”
This strategy uses the Ben Franklin Effect: When people do you a favor, they are more likely to do another. When you meet someone you yourself might be able to assist, ask for their help and, at the same time (e.g. in the same conversation) offer yours. And make a point to be of service even if others might not be able to help you immediately.
Having specific asks
The same goes for phone calls, emails or social media interactions. Being afraid to ask for what you want is a detriment to your success and prosperity. If you lack this skill, then you need to work on it! Asking for help is a form of radical humility, something that with practice will have amazing benefits for all involved.
Use this study to your advantage! Don’t just ask people for help — ask specifically for what you.
