49 Closing  Must “earn the right” to close  Customer expects you to  Close for something – a commitment  If no, WHY?

50 Closing Techniques  Are you using many different techniques? Be honest.  You need to – they are situational

51 ASK FOR IT  Direct Close or Direct Question  Why don’t you try it?  Can I have the authority to go ahead with the order?  When would you like delivery?  How much would you need to get started?

52 The Order Form Close  Start off with the basic assumption that the customer will buy…….. It’s only the details that need clarifying.  Question and obtain the customer’s commitment on the different stages of completing the order form.  At the final stage of the order...Ask for the OK or Approval - Not Signature

53 The Either / Or Close  It often helps to get the buyer’s final agreement by asking which is the most acceptable of alternatives offered.  Would you like in Fives or in 55 gallon drums?  Would you like your order delivered this week or next week?  Would you need the Dispensing system?

54 The Half Nelson Close  Use this close when the customer questions your product’s features or benefits, or you can help him/her solve a problem.  To be used successfully, this close requires good probing and good knowledge of your product.  If I can prove to you that _____ will reduce your labor costs by 50%, will you buy it?
