I don’t know if I don’t ask
This is a good softener to your bold questions with prospects. Prospects respect bold questions (that come across the right way), and will respect you a lot more for asking them. Softening the blow with ‘I don’t know if I don’t ask’ will make you and your prospect feel that much better about what you’re asking, and gives a reason why you’re asking it, allowing them to share more with you.
