That statement is one of the basic truths of the sales profession. Because when you ask for the order you provide the momentum for a client to say yes. Though you may feel closing a sale is a magic moment, in reality, closing is simply following closing principles and then asking for a decision when you feel certain the prospective buyer is going to say yes. This fast-paced seminar teaches you how to ask for the order.
The document discusses obtaining commitment from prospects in sales. It addresses when is the best time to seek commitment, which includes watching for verbal and nonverbal cues from the prospect that indicate they are ready. The document also discusses different methods salespeople may use to obtain commitments, such as having the prospect agree to a demonstration or pass along an endorsement. Additionally, it examines traditional closing methods like the minor point close and continuous yes close, as well as more effective approaches like benefit summaries and probing questions.

The document discusses obtaining commitment from buyers throughout the sales process, from securing initial appointments to asking for the final sale. It explains that commitment should be gained naturally as buyers' needs are identified and satisfied. The best time to seek commitment is when buyers show signs they are ready to purchase, such as asking questions about implementation or stating requirements.
The document discusses various techniques for closing a sale, including reading buying signals, using multiple closes, handling objections, and leaving the door open if a sale is not made. It provides examples of specific closing techniques like alternative choice closes and outlines a process of closing, addressing objections, and closing again if needed using a multiple close sequence.

2. There are various techniques for gaining commitment such as trial closes, direct requests, benefit summaries, and probing methods to understand any hesitations. It is important to avoid coming across as too aggressive.
3. If commitment is obtained, the salesperson should have no surprises, confirm the choice, get the signature, show appreciation, and cultivate the relationship for future sales. If not obtained, the salesperson should discover the cause and maintain a positive perspective for future opportunities.
The document discusses the key steps in an effective sales process. It outlines seven steps: prospecting, pre-approach, approach, presentation, handling objections, closing, and follow-up. For each step, it provides details on activities like qualifying leads, researching prospects, asking questions to determine needs, presenting product benefits, overcoming objections, gaining commitment from the customer, and following up after the sale.

This document discusses the importance of commitment to God and the local church. It uses the example of a mythical church member named John who frequently changes churches without truly committing to any one.

True commitment requires presenting one's body as a living sacrifice and not conforming to the world. The document calls Christians to commit to personal growth, the local church body, and serving God's mission.
The document outlines 7 steps to a professional sales approach: 1) Greet the customer with a smile and introduce yourself, 2) Use the customer's name and make eye contact, 3) Try to be on a first name basis to build rapport, 4) Give genuine compliments, 5) Ask to sit down to take control of the interaction, 6) Engage in small talk to learn about the customer and relax them, 7) Use a needs analysis form to determine what the customer is looking for without selling the same thing to everyone. The goal is to build trust and likeability before presenting the product and making the sale.

What are the three ways to ultimate success with mind power_.pdfOnlinegoalandstrategy
Don’t forget the preparation
Never ever think of giving up. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Take all negative words out of your mental dictionary and focus on the solutions with utmost conviction and patience. The battle is never lost until you’ve abandon your vision.
But what if you’re really exhausted physically, mentally, and most of all emotionally? Here are some sources of motivation to prompt you in reaching the peak of accomplishment.
Hard work
Success needs hard work. Don’t listen to these ‘get rich quick’ schemes. You need to build your character and work hard on yourself and your business to achieve greatness. Work hard and work smart. Do the right things and do them in the right way. Don’t procrastinate. Take bold actions. Work long hours and craft your legacy.
Learning from failure
Successful people do not see failures as failures. They see them as important learning lessons. Lessons that are capable of giving them insights to prevent such mistakes from happening again. By adopting this mindset of turning each failure into a learning lesson or opportunity, you can never fail until you yourself quit.
You should be able to find several indispensable facts about motivation in the following paragraphs. If there’s at least one fact you didn’t know before, imagine the difference it might make. It’s so difficult to go on when everything seems to fail, isn’t it? Are there times in your life when you really want to call it “quits” because you just can’t see any good results from all the hard work you’ve done?
