 Staying with  Jim's creativity with closes do you ever use the need to move forward close?


The need to move forward close. This is where you ask a series of questions concerning the problem the client is facing. This allows the client to understand the urgency to move forward and make the issue a thing o the past.


 What are some of your questions?

Some of these questions include


 How long have you had this problem?


 Have you experienced this problem in the past? If so what was done?


What would you like to do differently this time?


 This is to insure that the client understands the problem and diagnosis the urgency to rid themselves of this issue.

What are the consequences of doing nothing?


This may introduce a bit of "Pain" and urgency to the prospect (Rich, I know you don't agree with the "pain" aspect with clients from a previous exchange)


The prospect answer may be Loss of money, productivity, esteem, ability to compete etc depending upon the problem being solved. It may provide the opportunity to spin the pain aspect into benefits

Ob I do not care for the term pain however i perfer  issue or concern, problem etc. I do agree that the client must realize the consequences of not moving forward. I perfer getting the client to tell me what the result will be for non action. Reading what you have typed it seems that you also want the client to inform you of the consequences of non action.. I do not and will not paint a picture of massive damage due to not moving forward especially when you cannot prove without a doubt that it will happen to them.
