Sales Training: The Sales Training Process - Closing the Deal


The sales process leads towards closing the deal and there are 3 techniques you can add to your pitch to make that close easier to achieve. These 3 sales tips are from the repertoire of techniques used by today's working professionals. They will show you how to close more sales by gaining agreement from the very start of your sales pitch.


1. Let the customer know you want to sell to them.

Many sales people try and hide or disguise their real intentions of selling to the prospect. This can be because they don't want to frighten off the potential buyer. Sometimes it is because they have used a reason to help get them through the door that is not sales related. For example, a free survey, the chance to win a free gift, or something important the prospect needs to hear.


At some point the prospect will realize that you are there to try and make a sale. When this happens it makes closing the sale very difficult. You may have lost credibility and the prospect could feel they have been deceived. The best way to start closing the sale is at the very start of the sales process. In your sales introduction explain the agenda you would like to follow. Include in your agenda: Showing the prospect what you can do for them, and asking the prospect to buy your product if they like what they have seen.


2. Gain agreement throughout the sales process.

Gain agreement at each of the sales stages of your selling process. Don't leave it until you get to closing the deal before you ask for any agreement or commitment. In the early stages of a sales process you are looking for agreement that, the person you are talking to can buy from you, and they are willing to follow your agenda with you. Also gain agreement after the sales questioning stage, and at the end of your presentation gain agreement to a trial close to test the water before asking for the order.


3. Make sure you close

It may sound obvious, but you would be surprised at how many sales people I coach out in the field that do not attempt to close the deal. They do a really good presentation that grabs the sales prospect's attention, but instead of asking for the sale they carry on presenting features and benefits. Eventually they lose the buyer's attention and the moment to strike has gone. If you don't ask for the sale you will not close the deal. The time to close is when you have covered all the prospect's needs, wants, and desires, with your sales presentation.


Add these 3 sales tips to your sales process.

By now I hope you can see how by adding these 3 tips to your sales process closing the deal will become a lot easier. You will know from the start of the sale that the person you are talking to can actually buy from you. Both the sales prospect and you will have a clear agenda that you have agreed to follow, and you will know when it is time to close the deal.
