2x Margins Hidden in Identity-Driven 50% Close Rates


Listen Later

Your close rate isn’t a pipeline problem. It’s an identity mismatch you’re already paying for.

You’re delivering results. Clients are “happy.” But you’re still negotiating price, losing deals you should win, and watching margins stall. That gap isn’t performance—it’s how your value is being perceived.

When buyers don’t see themselves in how you sell, they default to convenience or price. That’s when 25% close rates become your ceiling, referrals stay weak, and your best work gets commoditized. The cost compounds quietly—in EBITDA, in deal quality, and in how your company gets valued.

Michèle Soregaroli, founder of Transformation Catalyst, works with service businesses stuck in that exact gap—where strong delivery isn’t translating into premium positioning, and identity misalignment is quietly capping growth.
