Here is a four step process that anyone can follow: 1. Begin by "thinking like a closer." The "great closers" of the sales world share the three characteristics: They're prompt. When closers get a hot sales lead, they're on it immediately. If they sense the time is right, they close the deal, right then and there. 2- They're persistent. When closers know that they've got something the customer needs, they keep working with that customer until the customer sees the need, too. 3- They're focused. Closers are constantly improving their skills at dialog and questioning and do the extra mental work to build confidence in their own ability. If you want to be good at closing deals, never pass up an opportunity to cultivate those personal characteristics in yourself. 2. Set an objective for every meeting. Closers approach every customer meeting with an objective that is specific, measurable and appropriately aggressive. 3. Check to see if the customer is ready. Closers look for feedback from prospective customers about whether it's the right time to close. This allows them to make closing a natural extension of the conversation. At convenient points during the customer meeting, closers ask questions that reveal the customer's state of mind relative to the progress of the sale. 4. Close with confidence. If you follow the previous three rules, there's a good chance that your prospective customer will close for you and saying something like "So, when do we start?"
