Rule # 2: defines the purpose of closing the right every time You meet with customers, setting a goal of closing specific and aggressive … No touchy-feely crap like “build a better relationship,” but something that can be measured, such as “get the map from the decision-making process” or “write order.”
Rule # 3: Mari near each emerging from the conversation stop thinking about closing down as the dramatic point at which you “ask for the business.”.
