    Why We'll Beat the Fast-Rising, Tech-Savvy Underdeveloped Countries

    The Most Important Marketing Principles of All Time
    As you have probably experienced there is a lot of hype in the business and marketing world. New concepts, revolutionary methods and the like land in our in boxes every day. But I'm going to confirm something you probably already know - the fun
    Most closers have been taught to ask for the deal, and some actually do. After finishing a presentation, they will say something like:

    "So how does that sound?" (Weak closing attempt) or,

    "Have I answered all your questions?" (They then expect or hope the client volunteers to buy -- again weak) or,

    "Would you like to place the order now?" (Slightly better, at least they're asking for the deal) or,

    "So let's get you started..." (They then wait for the prospect to say yes or for them to keep asking questions--still not good enough)

    The problem with all these closing attempts (and these make up 80% or more of how most sales reps do it) is that it leaves the decision up to the buyer.

    The top 20%, on the other hand, don't ask for the deal, rather, they assume it and take the prospect all the way through the close. Here's how they do it:

    "Great ________, so let's get you started with this. You are going to need a pen and that purchase agreement I sent you. It's the document at the back in red, do you see that? Great, now go ahead and start by filling out..."

    See the difference? The top 20% know they are dealing with qualified prospects (since they qualified them by asking the tough questions), they used trial closes so they know where they stand, have answered some questions, and now they know that it's time for the prospect to buy.

    But they don't leave this very important decision up to the prospect.

    Rather they keep control the call, assume the deal, and take their prospect all the way through the close. They know that after they've done all this work, they deserve to get the deal and the prospect expects to buy.
