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.


In this episode:


  • 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.
