Show Notes

Today With LuAnn Nigara:

If you're doing beautiful consultations and still walking away without a signed agreement—this episode is for you.

In Part 5 of our “7 Deadly Sales Sins” series, LuAnn breaks down one of the most costly mistakes sales professionals make: Avoiding the Close. You’ll learn why clients actually want to be guided to a decision, how to confidently ask for the business without feeling salesy, and what practical steps you can take today to lead your consults with clarity and results.

You’ll also hear:

  • Why “Let me know what you think” is not a closing strategy
  • What avoiding the close really signals to your client
  • The 4 steps to close with integrity—not pressure
  • How one simple question could’ve made the difference in your last lost sale

And if you’ve ever left a consultation thinking “I thought that went great—what happened?”… this one will hit home.
