By: Ryan Levesque

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 multimillion-dollar businesses in 23 different industries, generating over $100 million 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 on CNBC and Yahoo Finance and in 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, Ask will utterly transform how you think about consumer behavior and selling online.

Very good. Will take some time to put together.

This book definitely delivers on what it promises. I was very happy with it and do plan on implementing the strategies into my business. I didn't find the ideas to be counter intuitive though, so I thought it was strange that he described them to be that way.
I actually really enjoyed the first half of the book, where the author explains his story. I'm surprised at this, since with most books I usually get bored and want to skip to the "how to" part. I guess this just goes to show how good of a storyteller he is.

Practical tips

I love how practical and straight to the pkint all his tips are. This is amazing.

Delivers As Promised

Step by step sales funnel education. The Ask method revealed. Excellent! Worth reading more than once.

Aprender a preguntar

El escuchar combinado con la manera correcta de preguntar. Nos permite integrar la información de una manera positiva y poderosa.

The way forward if you want to grow a business

Would you consider the audio edition of Ask to be better than the print version?

The audio edition makes the pages of the book come alive. For me I took many notes in the physical book but this audio edition really helps cement Levesque's concepts. I listened to this walking to the office and at the gym and really have a deeper understanding of the ASK formula.

What other book might you compare Ask to and why?

ASK is practical. It gives you the roadmap of what you need to do to create a survey funnel in your business to grow your audience and increase your sales. This book reminds me of Feed A Starving Crowd, The Automatic Customer and The Membership Economy.

What does Tom Parks bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Tom brings the ASK formula to life. It makes it easy for you to really create a vision of the process you need to go through to create your survey funnel.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Any additional comments?

Loved the audio version of this book. Engaging and easy to listen to.

great audiobook!

I am glad this was my first audiobook purchased. Ryan was technical and same way practical in delivering his message to listeners. I love his mission of providing the right services or products to consumers by asking them. I believe that entrepreneurs have the obligation to make sure that each customers are satisfied and receiving the needs they wanted, as far as the limitation of the company is concern. Kudos to Ryan and to the narrator...

Ask Method Revealed Without Asking Me to Buy More

This book is amazing. I look forward to serving my clients like explained in this book.
Love the book and will be implementing.

Not really a book you should LISTEN to.

The ideas are best absorbed visually. Here are 11 more words to meet the minimum length requirement.

Leads you into another purchase. good material

This book was great and had a great storyline. It had some good material. But it led me into buying material from his website for a majority of it.

You'll get amazing results when you ask

Would you listen to Ask again? Why?

Yes, definitely. The "ask formula" will revolutionize the way you do business and the way you market to your customers. It's at the same time simple and genius - just ask your customers what they need - you'll sell more and what you sell will fit with their needs so you'll have happier customers. It's a clear win-win

Who was your favorite character and why?

In the first part of the book Ryan Levesque describes the struggles he faced and the calculated risks he took when he started a business. It is inspirational for all entrepreneurs out there.

What about Tom Parks’s performance did you like?

Tom Park makes it easy to listen to the Ask formula. I already had the kindle version of this book but decided to buy also the audible format in order to be able to listen to it while on the go.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This is a book that you want to come back to over and over again. Maybe the first time you'll listen to it in one sitting, but then you'll come back to certain chapters and to the practical tips on how to run your surveys.

Any additional comments?

This book will change the way you look at marketing, it offers a personalized way of selling to your customers.

The book is very practical and shows you all the steps to implement the Survey Funnel Strategy:
from a Deep Dive Survey to get to know your avatar and her/his most burning questions, to the Micro-Commitment Survey to maximize your conversion rates by offering personalized marketing and even products and even the famous "Do you hate me" Survey to find out more about why some customers did not buy your product, so you can improve your marketing for the next time.

Much recommended!
