Did you know that 50-90% of all sales encounters end without any commitment being asked for?
It varies a bit by industry but 50% is the low number.
Why is that?
It basically boils down to just two reasons: Will & Skill. Will, is having the desire and being comfortable asking. And skill is knowing how to ask.
Which of these two do you think is the most common reason that people don't ask for commitment?
Both of these are big factors, but between the two, not having the will or courage to ask is the bigger challenge.
Now, the good news is, I'm going to help you with both these things right now.
A massive contributor to this mind-boggling statistic is the fact that 99% of the closing techniques being taught today are manipulative.
They are. And they all have names.
There's: The Alternate Choice Close, or The Yes-Set, or The Impending Event Close, or even the "What Would Jesus Do Atomic Bomb Close." (and no, I'm not kidding, that's a real close)
There's a million of these closing gambits and they're all manipulative.
You want to know why 50-90% of all sales encounters end without any commitment being asked for whatsoever? It's not because people are afraid to ask.
It's because every one of these techniques damages trust. And we don't want to damage our relationship.
What we want is genuine, long-lasting relationships that last for a lifetime. Don't we?
The reason people don’t ask for commitments is because we instinctively know that all these sneaky gambits damage trust. So rather than use a manipulative technique that damages trust, they just don't do anything.
At least that's what I used to do...
Gong.io is a call analytics company that specializes in analyzing outbound sales calls. They analyzed over 1 million sales calls looking for the answer to this question:
What is the best closing approach there is?
And after analyzing over a million sales calls they determined that The Perfect Close is hands-down the best closing approach. Bar none. And, that top performers use it an average of three times per hour.
Per hour! Which should suggest to you that it doesn't get old the more you use it.
Many sales professionals and entrepreneurs get nervous when we start talking about closing because their worried that they'll have to change who they are or become something they're not in order to close business.
So let me assure you that with The Perfect Close that is absolutely not the case.
There are no gimmicks. There is no manipulation.
It is 100% genuine and 100% authentic and will be 100% in alignment with your personal values. I guarantee it.
In fact, not only will it make you more successful, you'll also find more joy and satisfaction in your day-to-day selling.
And that's a great place to be.
I believe that you've been called to change lives with the products and services you sell.
Every solution we sell, helps someone achieve a goal, fulfill a dream or avert a crisis.
Every solution, regardless of how large or small it might be, helps a real person move from where they are to where they want to be.
And our job as professionals is to help them achieve that goal by facilitating each little commitment it takes for them to get there.
So it's about much more than just advancing the sale - it's about leadership.
It's about being a coach and facilitator.
That's how you change the lives of your customers.
And, that's how you grow your own business and income.
After I made my accidental discovery, of The Perfect Close, I spent the next two years of my life geeking out on the topic and trying to understand why it works from psychology perspective.
And I eventually wrote The Perfect Close, which is the playbook for authentically advancing every opportunity to closure.
And today, I want to give you a free copy.
I'm doing it because there are still too many sales professionals and entrepreneurs struggling (like I was) because they don't know way to close business that doesn't make them feel slimy.

Inside The Perfect Close I will be sharing with you 35 secrets to help you close more sales.
Here's a sneak peak at what you'll discover inside your free copy of this new book:
Secret #1: New science and what we now know about selling that changes everything about closing for the better.
Secret #2: Exactly why most closing techniques are counter-productive and will actually hurt your chances of closing. Why closing is more effective when it isn't high-pressure or manipulative. Why the common misconception of what closing is will cause you to lose sales and joy you'll feel when you discover what closing really is.
Secret #3: The 7 Deadly Myths of Closing and the science that proves them wrong. Why past the first attempt, there is a negative correlation between the number of times a salesperson asks for a close and sales success. Why traditional closing techniques damage trust and will cause you to perform 21% worse. How manipulative techniques that sometime work on small sales drastically backfire on large sales. Why clients are less happy when making purchase decisions under pressure and what to do instead. And more!
Secret #4: How the data shows that you do have to make an effort to close the sale. The sales will not close itself. And that by asking for commitment in the right way you can move the sale forward without being pushy.
Secret #5: Why the best approach actually must be easy in order to be successful.
Secret #6: Why 50-90% of all sales encounters end without any commitment being asked for, and the key to asking for commitments that will get your success into the 90-95% range.
Secret #7: How science has advanced our understanding of sales and why it's critical that you understand the difference between an Advance, a Close and a Continuation. Also the two reasons from behavioral science that explain why the practice of getting Advances is so effective.
Secret #8: The little-known secret of the #1 biggest factor that determines sales call success that is 2-4 times more important than any other factor. Also how to leverage that factor to every sales encounter inherently valuable and have your customers profoundly grateful you met.
Secret #9: How Extrapolation Bias is either helping you or killing you in your sales encounters and why it is at the very root of why salespeople lose to inferior solutions.
Secret #10: Why how you sell is a sample of how you solve. How clients have redefined value and what they *really* want from their sales experience with you. The crucial difference between Data, Information and Insight and what your clients want most. And the one thing you can do in each sales encounter (as proven by science) that will literally cause customers to want to pay a premium for your solution.
