Closing the Sale

The art of closing a sale has many salespeople believing that if they master the art of closing a sale, they will be known as the best salesperson. Closing, however, is not one technique that is used at the end of the sale. The process of closing starts the moment the salesperson meets the customer. Technically, ‘closing’ a sale takes place when products or services are delivered to the customer’s satisfaction and payments are received. Van Heerden and Drotsky (2018) define closing as ‘taking the order’.
