Tip 7: The Take Away Close, Not the “Take- it- or- Leave- it” Close.

Excerpt From the Ebook- "7 Tips to Close Every Sale."
This next tip is probably the most misused closing technique.  Used correctly though, it can exponentially catapult your income.  This is one of the most difficult techniques, but it can be very effective.

Tip 7: The Take Away Close, Not the “Take- it- or- Leave- it” Close.


The Take Away occurs when you remove the product offer from the client psychologically, during your presentation, and then remind them of this fact at the close.  It is important to remember that this is not the “Take-it-or-leave-it” close.  It is more of a “sense of urgency” close.  This technique has to be instilled by your company’s management. You must present a compelling reason for them to buy today and then amplify their desire for the product or service. When you remind the prospect that they could miss out on the special, they almost feel compelled to buy your offer!

Try this: Mr. Client we have a special running this week if you purchase ABC we can include XYZ but you must purchase now as there is a timeframe on this offer.  If we can get the application today, we can ensure the pricing that we have talked about.  But the agreement we have with the leasing company states, “With the economy, their rates could increase tomorrow.”  Yikes! You would have to pay a higher price!

Please use the take away properly.

Bottom line: a sale is a critical function that is more of an art than a science. And please share any of the sales tips you’ve learned with your staff, friends and loved ones who meet with prospects.
