Q

Budget Close 2

A

And sir, you can probably say that about your credit cards, your car payments, insurance, taxes, groceries, restaurants, heating bill, and electric bill. They are all more than you want them to be, but you still do it.

Q

Budget Close 3

I understand and would expect that this decision will have plenty of company at home and won’t be by itself.

This won’t be the first purchase that you make that is too much and over your budget.

Q

Budget Close 4

A

So, assuming that you can afford your house note, present car note, car insurance, utilities, groceries, medical, clothes, baby sitters, school, entertainment, Visa, MasterCard, alimony, child support, retirement contributions, health clubs, you continue to save monthly and would have room in your monthly budget to enjoy owning your new car. Assuming you could afford all that, then certainly you’d have no other reservations, correct? Good. What is your house payment​? Your present car payment?

(Figure out their budget and shows how the new additional payments would work)

Q

Budget Close 5

A

90% of the people I work with are over budget when they arrive here. Just because you may have made some decisions in the past that didn’t make sense or purchased things you really didn’t need should not mean you would penalize yourself today from getting those things that do make sense and that you do need.

Q

Down to the Penny Close

A

We are within $48.50 of getting you exactly what you want. In comparison to the price and length of time you will own it, $48 is a miniscule amount. Let’s do this.

I need your OK here and here.

Q

Reduce to Ridiculous Close

A

$1000 a month is only $30 a day. You will live in your home, wake up in your home and go to sleep here every day and night. You will build a life here and your family will be safe here for only $30 a day

Ex: An additional $48.50 monthly is 1.62 a day. You will drive this car every day, your family will go on adventures with this car for the price of a cup of coffee.

I need your OK here and here.

Q

Gratitude Close

A

Mr. Buyer, I agree it’s a lot of money. Be grateful you and your company are in a position to consider the product. There are businesses that are shutting their doors, and people don’t even know where they are going to get their next meal. They would love to be in your position. You are able to own and en- joy your new. You deserve it, you have worked hard for it, and you are in a position to do so.

Be grateful you can do this.

I need your approval here, here and here.

Q

Who Taught You That Close

A

(Look at buyer in shocked)

Who taught you to think like that? You can do anything you want to do. You can afford whatever you want to afford. You’re capable of doing anything and everything that you choose to. Now, that’s not you talking to me right now, it has got to be somebody else. Who taught you to say you can’t afford it or I need to think about it or I can’t do it.

That’s not you! C’mon, let’s do this deal.
