The summary close
The summary technique recaps all the major benefits associated with the product or service. Be specific. This is a good method for a prospect who has told you their needs and desires. Highlight each benefit to the prospect.
The indirect close
This is an excellent technique for the laid-back prospect. It's not a high pressure closing. Ask the prospect to decide whether to buy in an indirect manner by using such questions as "What do you think?" and "Do these terms suit you?" The prospect's answer determines your next move.
If the prospect says, "I want to think about this for a few days," ask when would be a good time to call again. Follow up immediately with an email thanking the prospect for his or her time, then call on the specified date.
The direct close
The direct close is extremely blunt and works well with assertive prospects. Simply ask point blank, "Would you like to purchase my product or service?"
Seize-the-moment close
The prospect seems interested and asks, "Is this product available in beige?" If you have beige in the product line, you answer, "You prefer beige?" When the prospect answers, "Yes," proceed as if the sale is closed. For instance, your next question could be, "How many do you need in beige?"
The option close
Assume the prospect is buying and give a choice between two alternatives. For example, "Would you like 50 units in the order to obtain the price break or 25 units without the price break?" The thought of not buying is simply not mentioned.
Overcoming-the-doubts close
Offer inducements to overcome the prospect's doubts or objections to closing the deal. These incentives can range from different terms and conditions to just notifying the prospect of a price increase coming the next month.
