Let's Close a Deal: Turn Contacts into Paying Customers for Your Company, Product, Service or Cause

When you think about it, our entire lives revolve around selling. Whether we sell as part of our business, serve on a committee of a non-profit organization, or negotiate for a new job/car/house, we are pitching, hearing, and closing deals every day. Let’s Close a Deal explains the intuitive process that identifies how and why a deal will appeal, and then demonstrates in detail how to present your deal in a compelling way.

We make our decisions based on the manner in which information is presented to us, and what we believe will be the best deal. Let’s Close a Deal shows you how to present information so persuasively that it increases the likelihood of getting a “yes.” It shares why the sales process is not about coercion; it’s about compassion. When you understand that the closing part of a negotiation should honor everyone involved instead of taking advantage of them, then you’ll begin to close deals with major corporations, organizations, or individuals who can propel your business to the next level.

Master the dozens of details that go into the process of the pitch. Let’s Close a Deal takes you step-by-step through preparing, presenting, revisiting, and following up a deal, explaining how to:

• Establish “Niche Notoriety” and build a top-of-mind awareness with your target audience
• “Perk-O-Late” a deal by identifying the surprise bonuses that will make or break a deal’s success
• Re-treat, Re-evaluate, and Re-approach if you are turned down
• Look for business in all the “wrong” places
• Rescue a deal when it goes south with quick-on-your-feet recoveries
• And much more!

Increase your business’s chance for success by improving your ability to secure profitable partnerships. Let’s Close a Deal shows you how.
