Close the Deal: Gives and Gets®

Close the Deal: Gives and Gets®

When done right, negotiation begins long before conversations around pricing and terms.

In our Close the Deal™ Hallmark classes, you will learn how to introduce the pillars of negotiation and the language of closing earlier into the sales process than ever before all the while, inspiring urgency and testing commitment to build momentum on every deal. And as your closing ratio improves our proprietary Scorecard® will give you the predicability needed to build your pipeline and the data required to forecast with accuracy.
