Asking for the close?

Thanks to Jeff from SMC, yesterday I saw the power of asking for the close. Because he ask for the deal, he walked away with a sale. We have been working on getting this order completed for some time. I guess someone had to ask for the sale.

Sure, I am giving Jason from SMC a little trouble. Jason is a great sales rep and understands the power of partnering. Sure he would have got the order eventually.

In your sales cycle do you ask for the sale? A lot of the time this can mean the difference between a good sales job and a great sales rep. It does not have to be high pressure. Just ask and find out what is keeping you from walking away with the order.

I bet Jason wont make this mistake again. Especially after all the slack he received yesterday!
