“Only closing at the end versus micro closes throughout your DM in sales conversations. So what this looks like is waiting until the end and saying, "Do you have any questions? Does this make sense?" Versus throughout your entire conversation saying, "Are these the type of results that sound like you are interested in? Would this be helpful? Does this sound like something you're ready for?" You absolutely sound like somebody who's committed. You're my kind of people.” – Jillian
