❌ Don'ts
Things that can kill your deal.
❌ Don’ts for Closing Deals:
- Don’t oversell features: Avoid overwhelming the prospect with irrelevant details.
- Don’t interrupt or rush: Give prospects time to voice their concerns fully.
- Don’t skip qualifying: Always confirm genuine buying intent first.
- Don’t ignore objections: Tackle them openly to maintain credibility.
- Don’t use unclear language: Steer clear of jargon. Clarity drives conversion.
- Don’t end vaguely: Never close calls without defining clear next steps.
- Don’t undervalue your product: Avoid unnecessary discounts. Emphasize value instead.
- Don’t lose control of the call: Always guide discussions back to the core problem and your solution.
