Ever walked out of a client meeting feeling great…but without a signed deal?
That’s exactly what Claudia Sperling and Senne Vanwetswinkel, experienced consultants with Mercuri International, unpack in our latest podcast episode. Because too many sales conversations end in consulting rather than closing.*
Here’s what you will learn:
• Why “I don’t want to pressure them” is a silent deal-killer.
• How *follow-up* is not harassment, it’s customer service.
• Why 80% certainty is enough to decide.
• And how small, confident questions turn “maybe” into “yes.”
Our favourite insight: “Consulting without a closing question is like a job interview where nobody talks about the salary.” Selling means *guiding* the customer to a decision — not waiting for one.
Listen in and ask yourself: When was the last time you gave excellent advice… but didn’t close the deal?
