The reality is that you could be breaking your client’s momentum, and sabotaging a potential closed sale. Nikki talks about why entrepreneurs should close while on the discovery call. She also explains what to do if the client asks for a proposal first. Listen as Nikki and Samantha set a clear intention for closing on discovery calls without pressuring clients.
