Closing the sale is about raising the customer’s perceptions of value as high as possible. That’s what 28 years of Don Shapiro’s research concluded. When salespeople learn how customers figure out their perceptions of value and what causes that value to rise and fall, they discover new ways they can influence customers to say yes.
