10 questions to turn "maybe" into "yes"

Hello Reader, You know how when you reach towards the end of the sales cycle… And you know you need to close the deal. But… You’re not quite sure how to do that. You find yourself trapped in concern about what to say or ask, so you don’t mess up and lose the sale. Then you start overthinking it all, and possibly, lose some confidence. When you lose that confidence, is when the close gets fumbled. And even worse, you may also mess up the chance to lay a foundation to work together in the future. Now, what you need to remember is, if you’ve done the work to build value, understand the buyer, and solve their problem… Then you deserve to ask for the sale. But you need the correct language. Remember, the whole point is to make the pain of inaction greater than the pain of change. People rarely move until staying stuck becomes more uncomfortable than taking action. Help them see it. So, with that being said, here are 10 closing phrases that help buyers make a confident decision, and help you avoid the dreaded “I’ll get back to you”… So, your challenge this week, is to pick 2 or 3 of these and test them. Because when you can ask for the sale with confidence and care… That’s when your close rate climbs. Goodluck! James |
