Incremental Close Sale Technique

The reason? Bully tactics in sales often lead to buyer’s remorse and resentment. Long term customer relationships and hard-close tactics do not go hand in hand. Over the years a closing strategy emerged to help you become better at sales and more successful with your accounts.

It is known as the incremental close.

The incremental sales close is a closing strategy where you begin your close much earlier in the sales cycle. You gain agreement on “small items” that eventually add up to the whole deal. It is a far less “in your face” style of closing than past methods. In fact it is a strategy where you gain agreement with your client throughout the entire sales cycle.

The method is a “close sale” tactic that leads your client toward the ultimate conclusion where your solution is best. By mapping out questions which incrementally lead to the overall deal, it is a very effective way to close a sale. In fact, when done by seasoned pro’s, it will appear to the client that there was little selling at all. Your solution will simply make the most sense.

You need to remember that you are spreading the closing process throughout the entire sales cycle. By doing so, you need to consider the significance of your messages early on and how they will incrementally lead to the sale. Most people find it easier to agree to small details than they do to making a larger decision. Your goal is to get commitment bit by bit eventually leading to the entire deal.

This is a very effective selling strategy. By focusing on peripheral items rather than the entire deal, each time the customer agrees to a smaller piece, they are indirectly saying yes to the whole deal. The “yes’s” add up!

Give it a try.

Good selling.
