Resumen del Editor

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.

Skip part 1 and this is Gold.

I read a lot of reviews on this.

And after reading a few 5-star reviews and nearly all of the 1-star reviews, I decided to pass on the torture of the waiting for Ryan to tell his story through the first 12 chapters and skipped directly to part 2 where you'll find his methodology.

(It's not fair for people to rate this book so bad. In the first pages, Ryan tells readers that part 1 is the story of how the Ask method changed his life. If you're not keen for storytime, he tells you to go straight to the "How To" portion, which is in part 2).

And Part 2?... it's action-packed with awesome.

He gives you the exact process for using the Ask method, literally in a step-by-step fashion. He even gives you samples you can swipe for your emails and your video scripts. All of which will help you be a better marketer and grow your business.

With that said, keep skipping until you hear "Chapter 13 - Prepare. The Deep Dive Survey" because that's where all the goodies are. Keep listening until "Chapter 18 - Pivot. The Email Follow-up Feedback Loop" and boom, you'll have the entire Ask Method in 6 chapters instead of 20.

The links to his bonus resources are down, the audiobook doesn't have helpful visuals (obviously), and yes, Ryan does push his stuff further as an upsell to the book - none of which are dealbreakers that would stop me from giving this 5-stars.

Bottom line, get this book if you want to pad your bottom line.

Great ideas for online businesses

Most of these internet marketers show you how to start an Internet marketing business with lists.

This book actually had some good ideas for ecommerce.

The age of the "great idea" is coming to a close

I met Ryan at a mastermind recently. As a serial entrepreneur and Ascension coach, I know first and second hand how difficult it can be for many people to make the shift to data-based marketing.

Ryan's book takes us a step further into a realm of data-based product or even business creation.

We live in an on-demand economy. The entrepreneurs who realize this and those who implement the strategies in this book are the ones who will survive.

great ideas. great story

could wish these were developed more but it got me started so I am thank full for that. bought the Kindle version. so I could go through in more detail and try to implement in time.

Love this!

the information was exactly what I needed, and I absolutely loved Ryan's stories in the first section! It made it so much more interesting and easier to listen to. The technical section was very informative.

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?

The secret sauce to running a profitable business in an ever evolving world.

Any additional comments?

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