The closers survival guide pdf free download

No matter what challenges you face in the real world, you must be prepared beyond what you think it will take to get the job done. Incorrect estimation of effort is a major miscalculation in goal achievement. Have you allotted the time, effort, amount of insistence, enthusiasm and staying power to take your prospect from no to yes?

Have you trained for the most difficult situations that you will ever face? This correct estimation of effort will allow you to correctly assess, and then prepare, for the situation! Train for the most difficult and hope for the easiest. People are being convinced to enjoy life rather than create a life they enjoy. Urgency to complete tasks and close deals as a daily habit is missing in our society today.

Most individuals only approach things with urgency when their survival is threatened, and most of the time it is then too late. The close is just the last servicing step of several actions involved in selling, similar to bagging the grass and bringing it out to the street for garbage pick-up being the last action in mowing a lawn.

Until something is completed, it is not done! One of the things I work on in my life is to complete actions started and complete them as fast as possible. The more I complete, the more I can complete. The less I complete, the less I seem to complete which ultimately reduces my desire to start new things.

Salespeople with unclosed deals are punished more than they are aware! Watch them quickly become lethargic, despondent, critical, negative and hopeless. Get in the habit of approaching everything with a sense of completion and urgency to complete and close. Never be reasonable with time! This discipline is critical to mounting up, sale after sale, and one that is understood by heavy hitters.

How do you manage time? Same with closing deals! My sister had a friend who wanted to buy my first book from me, and she asked me if we would send the book out and wait for the check. I said, sure I can do that, or I can call her, get the money, send the book out and close it now. Practice finishing everything you start as a discipline to start closing more deals now! The urgent desire to close a deal, any deal, no matter the amount, is what I live by. One closed deal becomes a second closed deal.

Sales people operate without valid financial plans; therefore, they lack the proper motivation and underestimate the importance of every close to that financial plan. On the other hand, if you want to make sure your wife can buy anything she wants, you can be a great closer.

Build a financial plan for yourself that takes care of more than just the bills, but also creates financial freedom for yourself in the future, and you can be a great closer. People underestimate how much money it actually takes to truly ensure their financial freedom. People are reasonable, apparently unconscious, and even unwilling to confront this area of financial planning.

Just paying bills will never cause you to be a great closer, because the purpose of just paying bills is not meaningful enough for you or anyone else for that matter. No one gets excited about paying the phone company. Fund raisers for example can be exceptional closers when they are correctly aligned with the purpose of the charity needing money to fulfill its mission.

These people can become exceptional master closers at getting money from others, because they are so committed and dedicated to the purpose and the true financial needs of the charity. You have to get a proper financial plan put in place in order to have the proper drive need to get the job done. Since the age of 25, I have had a financial plan in place that caused me to push harder than others around me were willing to push.

Too many people go to work to work every day, and do so for the next forty years, to later discover they are short on money and long on years. That would suggest that most people are incorrectly estimating their financial needs or never created a financial plan at all. Get a financial plan today and make sure it is going to do more than pay bills, but also create financial freedom for you and your household. You will start closing more deals and you will quit underestimating the amount of effort, energy, and enthusiasm it takes to get a deal closed.

The bottom line is this: if you underestimate what it takes to create real financial freedom, then it only makes sense that you will underestimate what it takes to close a deal. Salespeople, unfortunately have been taught to handle objections for years that are not objections at all, but just merely complaints. Over years of research, I learned most so-called objections from the client are not actually objections at all, but just simple complaints that people automatically make throughout life.

RULE: Treat all objections as complaints until further validated. The more you validate it and handle it the more real, the more solid and significant it will become to everyone. The first thing I do when I hear what appears to be an objection is treat it like a complaint until further validated as a real objection. The first rule of selling discussed in Sell to Survive will serve you well in determining whether an objection is valid or not!

If it is a legitimate objection, you will know soon enough because when you try to handle as only a complaint, your prospect will make it clear that this is more than that. But trust me, most of what you hear in the close are not objections they are just mere comments or complaints no different that someone commenting on the weather.

A lack of closing material will stop the close. Due to a lack of successful techniques and closing material, salespeople are unable to persist in the close. I have personally met hundreds of thousands of sales people and only a small percentage of them have even a handful of practiced, rehearsed and prepared closes. There are thousands of sales people who, after leaving my seminars and being on my closing programs, have as many as completely rehearsed, memorized killer-closes they are able to use and depend on in real-life selling situations.

All of these individuals watched their confidence, their love of their job and their incomes soar! Great closers are rare. Great closers have deep arsenals of closing material completely memorized, rehearsed, is natural to them, and delivered in a manner that fits their personality. They completely and absolutely understand how and when to use their closing tools, and are able to wield them with ease, even in the heat of battle! This is a hard one for most to swallow.

I was actually uplifted, it raised my responsibility level and put me at the point where I took charge of my life. What you focus on, you attract. Think car wreck long enough and you will have one. Think flu long enough and you will get the flu. I know it sounds way out there, but just look at your life. Look at the objections that you continue to get in the close, and I assure you that you have some agreement with those objections somewhere in your life.

This is happening to you because of you. If you trust me long enough to look for how this might be true, then you will find how it is true. For the next week, write down every objection you get from your prospects and see how many of those you use in your own life. If you are honest with this exercise, you will be amazed at how you are being stopped by those negative ideas with which you agree. What do you think it is? Start doing what you are asking others to do, and like magic, they will start doing what you ask because that is what you do!

This will align the actions of your life with what it is you are trying to get others to do. People somehow know when you are asking them to do one thing, but doing something completely different in your own life! Align the two, take responsibility for what you are creating, and start closing more deals! Remember, it happens because of you not to you. The following week he closed more deals than he had for the previous two months.

We all have a very powerful ability to create, to attract, that which has our attention. Remember you are the barrier, not your prospect! Take the time to check off which of the ten may be keeping you from the close. You will be surprised. Barriers to getting a Deal Closed: 1. Never Attempted to Close 2.

Pressure Perceived as Bad 3. Unwillingness to Deal with Emotions 4. Lack of Belief in Product or Service 5. Incorrect Estimation of Effort 6. Being Reasonable 7. No Financial Plan in Place 8. Handle Objections that are only Complaints 9. Lack of Closing Material There are 20 major rules outlined below, including my comments on each.

From time to time, I review these rules and treat them as firm policy that I will not violate under any condition. Always be seated when negotiating and closing. This is a policy that is frequently violated and missed, even by seasoned professionals.

The saying goes, present the product, service or idea on your feet, but always negotiate the terms from your seat. In addition to making sure you are seated when attempting agreement and closure, you want to have the prospect seated as well. Even if your prospect stands up, remain seated suggesting that you are not done, you are not reacting and that you are confident of agreement.

Going from a seating position to standing up suggests that something has changed and allows your prospect to exit and end the negotiations. Always present your proposal in writing. People do not believe what they hear, they believe what they see. Always have a contract available and a writing pad on which to make your points. Anything offered or points of value that are included or expected should be written down for all to see.

Example: If your product or service has a warranty that is standard in your offering, still write it down as something the buyer gets when they make a decision with you. Anything of value should be accentuated, should be written down and should be used to build your case of logic as to the many reasons someone would do business with you and close with you. Always clearly communicate your proposal. Speak clearly and confidently so that your offer is communicated in a manner that suggests optimism, pride and credibility.

No one will trust a person who cannot communicate clearly and confidently. Practice your delivery and do not just assume you are coming over clearly.

I practiced using recorders and video for years and then played them back to ensure my communication was coming across the way I intended. Always make eye contact. This is a discipline instilled only through practice, and you can perfect it by recording yourself. Most of the population on this planet today does not make eye contact. All you have to do to prove it is walk into a coffee shop and say hi. Walk down the street and ask someone a question, and watch him look away.

If you want to be believed, it is vital that you make eye contact with your prospect. It suggests interest in them and confidence in yourself, your products, your services, and in what you are proposing. Always have a pen available for signing. I remember once I was closing a deal on which my prospect had just agreed, and I reached for my pen in my jacket but it was gone.

I was devastated, and now I refuse to go anywhere without my sword in hand. All agreements require signatures and that requires ink. Keep a pen available on you at all times. In fact, you should always have a back-up pen. Also consider keeping a nice pen that portrays you as a professional. Invest in nice things and you will have nice things! Know how to use humor to relieve pressure. This is an absolute art used by the greats! Life sometimes reveals itself through stories, and everyone loves a good story.

If the story contains humor, it will cause people to relax. It should tell a story and relieve the pressure in the close. Avoid using humor that makes fun of others. Use humor that causes your buyer to feel good, to feel positive and that reminds him that life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Any humor that can make people feel good, inspired or hopeful is always appropriate! People are more likely to make decisions when they are less serious than when they become very serious.

People pay more for entertainment in this country than they do for an education. The reason why: they want to feel good. Make sure your humor makes your prospect feel good. Make it more about how they will look good, feel good, and how they are doing the right thing than about it being some serious thing to do. You as a closer will close more deals when you are able to get your client to lighten up, laugh, have fun, and be less serious.

I have used humor to take the edge off for my entire selling career. Humor combined with the right techniques on how to close, is unstoppable. Always ask one more time! This is what separates the closers from the sellers, and the big money from the average producer. To continue to ask, persist, to figure out another way to circle back after being told no, reposition the negotiations and ask again is ultimately what will make you a great closer.

This requires you have a deep arsenal of techniques and a complete understanding of all the closes in order for you to continue to persist. This area of persistence is also a social issue since you were told as a child that persistence was a bad thing because it was rude and obnoxious. Asking again, and again and again is the sign of someone who knows how to get what they want in life. It is not rude to continue to persist; it is the sign of success and prosperity.

To persist and ask another way means you must be completely sold, you must have complete confidence in yourself and your product and you must be absolutely clear about what you want and how important it is to your survival.

You should treat each opportunity to close like your life depends on it, and it does! Quitting is encouraged in society today and persistence is actually discouraged. There is an oversupply of quitters and a shortage of persistence. Which one is valuable? If quitting can be taught and drilled in, then not quitting can also be learned. Practice not quitting! See how strong you can get this persistence muscle, and like any muscle, it will get stronger! Drill it until you are not being obnoxious, rude, or ill mannered but professionally persistent, smooth and confident.

Most sales people quit because they lack variations of closes, and that is what the rest of this book will handle for you. You need a large variety to handle all the various customer types and objections. Remember: correct estimation of effort! It is said that most prospects close after five attempts, but the average sales person only has four closes available.

Also, you need a complete understanding of your arsenal, not just a familiarity. One of the best ways to get complete understanding is through listening. In addition to keeping this book with you and referring to it daily, you would benefit by ordering program on audio, and online www.

These programs have helped thousands of deal makers and dreamers. Listen to them until you can duplicate my every word and are sick of listening to me. Know them so well you can use them in any order and with complete confidence. Always stay with the buyer and reduce the number of times you leave the buyer alone. Each time you leave the customer to check on something or leave them with someone else, it creates doubt and uncertainty in the mind of the buyer.

Car salespeople are notorious for leaving their customers and going back and forth to their managers to check on one thing or another. This is the greatest pet peeve of car buyers.

This back and forth creates undo antagonism in the negotiations, lowers perceived value, reduces customer experience and extends the closing time. NOTE: This does not mean there is not an appropriate time to leave a buyer and use an authority for a close, as this can be very powerful as long as it is not overused.

Always treat the prospect like a buyer. One of the biggest errors made in the negotiations, particularly by experienced sales people, is the mistaken ability to determine who is a buyer and who is not. Every person who reads this book can think of multiple times when they made this error and it cost them business. I have been in hundreds of transactions when I was told there was no way the person would close and because I treated them like they would, they did!

I have this little trick that I play on myself when I am in a close. The watch, the shirt, the suit, the necklace, the car they drove, the house they live in, the credit card they use, etc. All are evidence that this prospect has actually demonstrated the ability and history of closing. Treat them as a buyer and they will turn into a buyer. Always know you you can come to an agreement. This is a mental attitude that has to be further developed in all of us and that attitude needs to be protected like all the gold at Fort Knox.

I continue to maintain that we can come to an agreement, no matter what I am told by the buyer or by those around me. Always maintain a positive demeanor no matter the response from the buyer or for that matter, from your own management.

Keep it light, stay positive and maintain a positive, professional can-do attitude throughout the negotiations. In my marriage, my wife and I do everything we can daily to keep life light and easy, fun and flowing so that we can excel in our marriage and in our lives. We strive to do the same thing in our offices, regardless of results so as to continue to keep things positive, up beat, even game-like.

When they are negative and you stay positive, it only makes you look that much better and more attractive. Negativity always succumbs to positivity, always. And a word of caution to the most successful and seasoned professionals—you, of all the groups, need to practice this more than any other.

Due to your years of experience and hardening, you can come off as intolerant and arrogant in your responses. Always smile no matter the outcome, response, objection or communication. This is not just about your internal positive attitude, but also this is regarding your physical manifestation. You have to practice this until you are able to genuinely smile regardless of the situation. The six-month old child does this and melts everyone in her path. Walk around and see how children smile, and you will see the financial value that awaits you by rehabilitating this ability.

Do this until you are able to argue with a smile, disagree with a smile, negotiate, overcome objections and close with a smile. Have you ever noticed that very successful people are smiling all the time? Always treat the buyer like they can! I have always said if you treat someone like they have money they will act like they have money! All of your words, responses, actions, facial expressions, your handling of objections need to communicate that you are treating your prospect as someone who is going to buy, who is going to say yes, who will ultimately go along with your proposal.

In Sell to Survive, I told a story about how I closed my wife. Even today when she gets mad at me, I treat her as though she loves me, admires me and as though I can do no wrong in her eyes.

Sooner, sometimes later, I close her on this. You will create the buyer you believe him to be—every time! Always acknowledge the buyer for any offer or communication they make. Take the time to say thank you, I appreciate that and want to congratulate you for making this suggestion before you get into your own proposal. Always agree with the buyer and never disagree. This is one of those absolute truths when negotiating that if violated will crush you. Always agree with your prospect no matter what.

Whether the buyer is right or wrong is not the issue! For disagreement to exist it requires two sides. Disagreement only results in not closing deals!

Lose the battle, win the war! Always look for a solution. Those that can do, do. This again is about attitude and mental conditioning so that you can always keep things moving forward and not hold up the negotiations. Find a way, figure it out, and look for solutions.

We are trying to close a deal! What can you do to make this go right? Help me out here I am doing everything I can to make it work out for both of us…. Care so much you refuse not to close. This is beyond selling now and more on the line of purpose. An individual will reach incredible heights in their life if what they are doing lines up with purpose. That is why you see the missions and charity workers working tirelessly day and night to make a difference.

At the end of the day your true purpose will carry you through. Care more and you will close more! Use the full arsenal of closes. Never depend or get comfortable with one or two but be versed enough to use them all. Certainly you will find your favorites and those that somehow make the most sense to you, but take the time to get familiar with, and be able to use them all. One day soon you will need them all! Selling, presenting, demonstrating, promoting, marketing, building trust, etc. Breathing and eating are important, but ultimately you want to live.

The same with selling and closing. Closing allows you and your company to expand, all the things that took place prior to the close were necessary to get to the close but will not allow for expansion and survival. Close the deal, be willing to do whatever it takes to close the deal and know that only until you actually get to that critical survival exchange point do you provide any real value.

This book is made possible because of the thousands and thousands of hours of research I have done in this area. While the majority of these closes are original, many of them are the result of contributions over my years of learning from greats like Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Jackie Cooper, Brian Tracy, and many others.

They all have value when used at the appropriate time and in concert with the others. I have been in situations where it would have appeared that my first five attempts failed, yet later discovered they only prepared the client to be closed on the sixth attempt.

Based on my experience, a first attempt close is the exception, not the norm. You will also notice that each of the many closes include a list of other closes that could be used in conjunction or that may be similar.

Again, none of these techniques are any more valuable than another, but are to be used in concert with one another to create the effect you desire. You will become most effective when you become familiar with them all, and you will become unstoppable when each of them and all of them become something you no longer think with but just use. Beware of becoming comfortable with just a few, because that would defeat the purpose of having an arsenal.

The more a salesperson understands the close the more he will reach to sell others, the more he will prospect, the more professional and believable he will appear to his client, and the more he will be rewarded. It is the close that defeats more sales people than anything else, but it need not defeat you.

Use them, Enjoy them, and most important Prosper from them! Right away or tomorrow morning at around ? This is one of the most powerful and overlooked closes. Sign here and here. He may be satisfied with a seven. You can also use this when finding out about the products he is using now. This is great for any consumer or service sale, and especially for a realtor trying to get a listing.

I am confident that our local lender can provide you with alternatives that will make your monthly investments agreeable and affordable.

This fact is missed by many industries, including insurance, investment, furniture, retail sales and real estate. Why sell the price when you know it is going on a credit card or the buyer will be getting a loan? This is a great close when the buyer becomes payment concerned and hangs up on their ability to pay monthly and avoids resting the deal on the payments. I need you to initial here, here and here.

This avoids closing on payments, focuses on figures. Beware of the buyer who continues to move the target on you, giving you too many things to handle so that you can never close! Who do you currently use? There are only a couple of people in town cheaper than your lender. Sign right here and I will look at our options. Worse case, we use your present lender.

You have to be positive about your ability to get lending in every deal. It is your responsibility to handle this so that you can get a close! Automotive dealers are exceptional at this, but most other industries drop their responsibility and think the job stops with the sale and someone else will get the money. Ask for agreement on the figures, assuming you can get the other changes handled. This does not mean you have to include or give away the changes.

Look the buyer dead in the eye and ask for the close. There is paperwork on every deal, no matter what you sell. You could even ask this earlier to find out who the decision maker actually is. This is used by the customer as a stall more often than as a valid objection. More women will buy without their husband than the other way around. Check for it to be a valid objection with Spouse Stall Close.

Also, you are able to flush what the actual objection is in. I need your approval here, here and here. You validate and acknowledge, look up, smile and tell your story!

The more this is true for you, by the way, the more often you can close with it. While my wife may tell people that she needs to check with me, she can and has bought without doing so! You have nothing to lose. Smile before you say the first word and deliver. I need your ok here and here. Close this deal, quit being sold on this objection as this is a stall more often than not. Is that fair? Short cutters abuse this and lose deals.

If nothing changes except for the fact that your situation is improved, certainly she would support you improving your situation. This tests validity of the objection. This is a very aggressive close and is to be used only by a very confident closer like you. Get them involved. The buyer values their opinion more than yours, so use it.

Use the second party to assist you in closing the product, or at least find out his considerations, as they will be shared with the buyer and influence his decisions. You will never have problems with mouthy advisers again and they may even step up and offer help.

This is only done in the close. I need your OK here and here. This is power selling at its best. What you are doing here is acknowledging the objection, but giving it no value and closing over it as though it is a comment rather than an objection. This is one of my favorites—simple and powerful. So agree and close! I need your approval here and here.

This is a discounting of the response as an objection and assumes it is a mere complaint. You will find most objections are not objections at all but just complaints and should be handled as such. Every buyer will relate to this. Smile, present and close. Not everyone can do this. There are people starving on this planet and you are investing in your company.

I need your agreement here and here. The truth cuts through the resistance in people and too few salespeople use cold, hard facts.

This particularly works on well- heeled people. Be strong, and mighty forces will come to your aid. Use it! Not everyone can even consider living here. Use it rather than overcome it! You will have a different experience when using them. The buyer starts to respect you for not chasing down every objection he has. How do you think people get over budget?

Sign here please. Acknowledge them, make nothing of them and then close on them. You will find closes like this so successful you will wonder how you ever sold without them. Ask for help, ask for assistance, and ask for them to do it for you. Dare to do it, and you will call to thank me. Or would you rather get exactly what you want and pay a little more each month?

You should always use inventory as a way to negotiate, as this is a more valueadded solution than reducing the price. And with the payment programs, it would only change your payments a little. Would you consider that? While it would not seem obvious to move a buyer up to a more expensive product when he is already screaming money, it is a valuable and workable solution.

Others will think you are crazy, but then the buyer sees that the choice is to spend more money not less; and the move up may validate the value. All buyers should be moved up and down the inventory line by the salesperson as they will anyway when they leave you. This is how people make decisions by shopping, comparing and evaluating.

This is using logic in the close and will help you close many more deals. You would give up these two options, but it would save you x and reduce your monthly payments. You may be on the right product but too much of it. This is very similar to previous closes where we are using models and inventory. Give the buyer a way to buy something! I would personally go with option number three, what do you want to do? We have a support group that meets here every Monday night They get over budget because they do.

Close the deal! They walked in over budget and they will leave over budget. This is America. They are all more than you want them to be, but you still do it.

The truth is so powerful. All people extend themselves for things they really want. What is your house payment? Your present car payment? This close is a way to acknowledge that being over budget is not a big deal. They were over budget before they met you and they will be over budget regardless of what they do today.

If you owed zero, would you want zero? Of course not. Sign here and here…. This stops many sales people due to their focus on the problem rather than a solution. This is great for bankers, auto dealers, furniture sales, equipment leases, mortgage brokers and real estate people. Can also be used when the buyer has a contract or lease on some other product or service. Trillions of dollars in sales are lost annually because of the lack of responsibility companies take in earlier purchases.

How does that work for you? Rather than discounting the price of the house, you include one payment. Builds savings for the buyer without giving up gross. Most buyers are more worried about the monthly payment; companies more worried about the cash flow than the price.

Take the emphasis off the price and onto the ability to purchase in their name. I have made many sales in which the big benefit was getting a buyer reestablished, and the product was secondary. Great on shoppers, tough buyers, and people who may be comparing your pricing to something else they had received earlier. Be confident, in control, professional, and look the buyer in the eyes. I pray about every decision I make myself.

How are you most comfortable praying? While some may think this is a taboo area that you should not breach, I disagree. The buyer brought God up, and you should pay him the respect of being willing to honor his beliefs and pray with him until you get a yes or a no! NOTE: This has never failed me in my career. Think of an elephant. Did you get it?

You see, thought is immediate. What you need to do now is make a decision. Yes or no. I am fine with either one. Which is it? I never believe that people need to think, as this is a stall for some other consideration. They are more likely to need more information than time to think. This close sets up finding out what is really wrong. However, you thinking about it will not change the fact that this product saves you money, your company needs it, and you are going to do it sooner or later.

Do you think days would be long enough, or is weeks better? Buyer will probably say days is plenty. The truth is, no matter how long you take, you will be faced with the same three questions. May I share them with you? It also sets up identifying the real objection.

By agreeing with their need to think and then asking where they stand now, you get a sense of where the buyer is and the real objection. Which one is it for you? This close will allow you to determine what is the real objection. To use these types of closes successfully you have to be convinced there is a deal here and not give up. People are buying a product, not a price or the terms. Return to the product and sell it. Sell features and benefits of the product and then come back for the close.

Be enthusiastic about the product. Can I ask—was it something I did? Was it something I failed to do? Then allow me to get the product ready for you versus you going home, or having to go through this process of looking for another solution. Follow me. Every buyer regrets their decision and second-guesses himself. This is hard sell! You have to be sold yourself on this being the right decision and press for that right decision.

You are either going to buy from me now or I am going to call you every day until you do this. It is the right thing. This is a great deal for you and I will not quit. You are communicating that you know this is the right thing to do. This is a hard-sell close and one that requires you to be sold, not them!

Communicate your conviction and they will become convinced! Were we easy to get to? Am I the type of person you would feel comfortable serving you? Then I need your OK here and here. Get the buyer saying it. You could ask the buying question as the fourth yes, but I would not. It gets you momentum to the close. Also, people want to help others, and they believe that in doing so, they should be helped.

It would be great to keep a jar of money on your desk to show them how little the amount really is. Works great on monthly payment objections and price objections. This close assures the buyer the deal is good. You will live in your home, wake up in your home and go to sleep here every day and night. The buyer always focuses on big numbers and you should not! Once a buyer makes a decision, he almost always makes it go right. And when buyers are done buying something from you, they always spend more money with someone else.

Your job is to justify and make sense of the figures so the buyer can say yes. Better to live rich than to die rich. I need your OK here, and I will get your new product ready so you can start enjoying it right away. A Mexican jewelry sales person in Acapulco taught me this one.

Agree and close! Obviously great for closes on discretionary consumer products. Money is a very strange thing for most people. They put more importance on it than their own enjoyment. That is why you want to counter this phenomenon with one that is even more mysterious — death! There is a shortage of people who are happy and love their lives. Can also be used for business purchases since the hope of more money in the future is more important than the present budget.

Focus on the positive, not the spending. What are some reasons to do this? Be careful with this one. Once you get the buyer to agree that he is looking for reasons to do it, then ask him for those reasons and put attention on the positives, not the negatives.

Use this late in the negotiations. Your attempt is to see if you can get the buyer to see a way to make a positive decision. Once you get a yes, then get the list of objections and see if you can handle each. The most important step in any close is the decision maker being able to see himself saying yes. Until this happens, no close is possible. Be careful not to overuse this.

Always use late, never early, and be careful not to overuse. This close is most often overused by short cutters and undertrained closers. It also allows the buyer to rationalize a decision, which is important because a buyer has to make logic out of even the most emotional purchase for the deal to stay closed.

Even great sales people complain about the buyer who unwinds later. Better to find the considerations now. Protects against unwinds.

Why else? Get the money out of the objection by asking if everything was the same, who would you rather buy from. Others will tell you who they would rather buy from and then establish why.

At least you will know what the deal is and whether there is one to be made or not! This forces a decision regarding with whom the buyer would rather do business. Find out why and handle it. If the buyer misrepresents this, he will never be able to buy from you. Make a copy and return Mr.

What is not right? When you return with the copy, then you start closing again. This is also a good time to get another person involved to flush out the real objections. Agree and then go back by reminding the buyer that he already has a stack of things he is thinking about. The best thing you can do for a buyer is get him to decide.
