Description

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.
