Season 2 | Episode 52 | The Most Important Step in the Sales Process

You’ve done the research, built the relationship, delivered the pitch, and handled objections — now it’s time for the step that makes it all worth it: closing the deal.

In this week’s episode, we’re zeroing in on what many consider the most crucial (and often most nerve-wracking) part of the sales process. It’s where momentum can either turn into revenue or vanish in a blink.

Whether you're a seasoned closer or still finding your rhythm, this episode will help you understand what it really takes to confidently and consistently seal the deal.

We’ll break down tried-and-tested closing techniques, common mistakes to avoid, and the mindset shifts that separate average reps from top performers.

• Why the close really matters — and how to stop overcomplicating it
• Common closing pitfalls (and how to avoid killing your own deal)
• Proven closing techniques that actually work in 2025
• The role of timing, urgency, and confidence in landing the "yes"
• How to follow up without being pushy
• Real-world examples from closers who’ve nailed it — and those who learned the hard way

Whether you're closing multi-million-pound deals or just trying to improve your win rate, this episode is packed with actionable insight to help you take control of the close and drive your sales forward.
