Close a Sale
It is essential to close a sale by asking the
customer to purchase as:

commitment. She is comfortable postponing the
decision, due to apprehensions and is looking for
reassurance
You cannot go on selling when the customer is
ready to buy
You have been working for this firm commitment
from the buyer
Buying Signals
Buyer’s often indicate that they want to
buy what you are selling by giving
signals, instead of actually saying so
These signals are of two kinds :
Verbal signals
Non-verbal signals
Closing a Sale
Spot Buying Signals
Ask for Commitment to prescribe
The moment you have spotted clear buying signals,
you need to ask for a commitment to buy. This is called
CLOSING the sale
