THE “MIND-READING” SYSTEM THAT IS REVOLUTIONIZING ONLINE BUSINESS

Do you know how to find out what people really want to buy?
(Not what you think they want, not what they say they want, but what they really want?)

The secret is asking the right questions - and the right questions are not what you might expect.

Ask is based on the compelling premise that you should NEVER have to guess what your prospects and customers are thinking. The Ask Formula revealed in this book has been used to help build multi-million dollar businesses in 23 different industries, generating over $100 million dollars in sales in the process.

You ‘ll discover why the Ask Formula is arguably THE most powerful way to discover EXACTLY what people want to buy and how to give it to them - and in a way that makes people fall in love with you and your company.

In this tell-all book, expert online marketer Ryan Levesque (featured in CNBC, Yahoo Finance, The Miami Herald, The San Francisco Chronicle, Mass Market Retailer, Bloomberg Businessweek and more) turns everything you know about customer surveys on its head.

You ‘ll discover how Ryan Levesque developed his proven system for creating survey-based, customized sales funnels. And you ‘ll also learn how YOU can implement the same system in your own business - no matter your market. The Ask Formula blueprint is laid out in clear and detailed steps for anyone to use and adapt.

Whether you ‘re an aspiring Internet entrepreneur, advanced online marketer, or established business owner, this book will both inspire you and show you how to skyrocket your online income - while creating a mass of raving fans in the process - simply by asking the right questions in a surprisingly different way. For people looking to scale up their business, Askwill utterly transform how you think about consumer behavior and selling online.

For example, you ‘ll learn:

How to increase your income by 36% by asking potential customers this slightly unusual 4 word question.
Why most businesses are doing surveys all wrong (and the one question you should NEVER be asking your prospects)
And much, much more…

Discover for yourself why leading marketers all use and recommend the Ask formula.

"Investigation based sales is the most profitable type of selling. Ryan Levesque explains how to utilize this powerful technique beautifully in his book ASK."

Upsells, upsells, upsells!

ByLove to Shopon August 19, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is yet another book that is disturbingly perpetuating the epidemic you see in marketing books on Amazon these days. Upsells. The book is full of references to the author's paid software, course and mastermind group. It skims over the details and is simply a lead on to the ultra expensive stuff the author sells. The material is somewhat useful, but what with having to skip over upsells every other page, you won't get much benefit out of it. Until of course you buy the upsells. Did I say upsells?

How to Know More About Your Customers Than They Know About Themselves

ByAvid Readeron July 20, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It might be obvious to business owners, but if you want to know what your customer wants you need to ask them.

The tricky part is "how" you ask them - and that's the secret sauce.

Levesque has mastered 23 niche markets by developing a methodology of using surveys and quizzes with his customer base to develop and grow his businesses and audiences. The fascinating part of the book is his methodology on how he puts words and concepts in front of his customers helping them verbalize what they really want. This method makes him appear to know the customer even better than the customer knows him/herself creating a rabid following.

Note: there is a course for those who want to truly become expert at this, but the book doesn't hold back. There is plenty of information here.

Some are good, many are not

ByJessica Baxteron April 24, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read a lot of books... and to be precise, a lot of business books.

Some are good, many are not.

So when I say that Ask is amazing, that's serious.

If you read and implement the information from just one book this year, allow yourself to make this that one.

Inspiring Story Of Transition Along With Groundbreaking Business Techniques

ByHenry Deanon August 10, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Great story and background of how someone made the transition from the corporate world to leading the way in on-line marketing for corporates to individuals, revealing specific details behind the method. A revolutionary approach to ensure you meet your customers exactly where they are, providing what they really would love to have even if they could not completely articulate it. Honest revealing story of a transition along with mis-steps. Inspirational as well as practical to allow for implementation of some of these techniques.

Interesting delivery but concepts are nothing new.

ByMr. Justin Lakeon July 18, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Interesting concepts but nothing new in marketing its called target marketing and listening to the customers needs, however very powerful if you can implement. The reality is that it's not as easy as Ryan makes out. In my own experience I've been able to drive traffic however only a very small proportion actually filled out the surveys. Not enough to drive any great insights. I found the book is leading you to have to do sign up to do Ryan's course. If you can implement this then you will do well. I found the first half of the book painted Ryan's story from rags to riches, which is trying to make you feel sorry for Ryan. The 2nd half goes into the strategies which were quite practical but I don't believe will work in every context as it was written from the perspective of segmenting his audience to sign up to his course.

Valuable, if you follow through and put the strategies to use

ByAmiron February 28, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The writing was simplistic at times and definitely could have been better overall. That aside though, the information is gold, especially if you're a digital marketer or online business owner with some experience. The strategies explained in this book will save you plenty of time, money, and stress, particularly if you're entering a new market or you're launching a new product/service. Just make sure you don't skip any of the crucial steps Ryan explains. There's a reason for each of them and he lays out the logic pretty well. Overall, a good book with valuable strategies and tactics for those who'll actually follow through and put them to use.

The only blueprint you need to grow your business

ByJonathan Greenon October 6, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have been making a full time living online for more than five years and reading this book made me realize just how much money I have left on the table.

The first third of the book is the compelling story of Ryan's transition from corporate drone into something amazing. He shows how one man can take life by the horns and become the master of his own destiny. His transition is inspiring and shows that you don't need to have a war chest of tens of thousands of dollars to start an online business...you just need faith in yourself and dedication. If you put in enough time and follow the correct mentors, success is achievable.

Ryan is a mentor you should follow.

I grabbed this book as several of the amazing copywriters I have relationships with kept recommending it to me. Unlike most marketing books out there, I didn't get bored after a few pages. This isn't a big picture book with one theme. This guide has actionable steps that you can follow immediately to build or improve your sales process. Being told to use surveys is nothing new and a few reviewers have harped on that, but what they are completely missing is the deep psychology of how Ryan designs and implements his surveys.

If you read one book on marketing in the next ten years, it should be this book.

Easy and effective method

ByChrister Nellbornon August 10, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Many entrepreneurs are afraid of asking their potential customers for guidance in what products and services they should provide. Instead they guess and invest a lot of time and money into developing solutions they have no idea if they will work or not. Asking the right questions isn't easy. Ask the wrong questions or in the wrong order and you might not get the answers you need.

The method Ryan Levesque presents in this book is tried and tested. It takes the guesswork out of how to ask the right questions. The method is easy to use, and described in a step-by-step fashion making it very easy to apply.

I have used the method and found it incredibly useful in my own business.
