By skyforbes 1️⃣ Fear of Rejection
Prompt: “Act as a closing coach. Ask me a few quick questions about my sales role, product, and sales style. Then help me overcome my personal fear of rejection when asking for the sale, using mindset shifts, language adjustments, and soft-close techniques tailored to my situation.”
2️⃣ Lack of Confidence
Prompt: “I struggle with confidence when closing. Start by asking about my product, target audience, and typical objections. Then give me a rewritten version of my usual close that sounds more confident, plus specific coaching based on where my hesitation shows up most.”
3️⃣ Talking Too Much, Listening Too Little
Prompt: “I often talk too much when trying to close. Ask me how my sales conversations usually go and what kind of buyer I deal with. Then create a custom close that uses insights from the buyer’s own words, including questions and prompts that shift focus from me to them.”
4️⃣ Not Addressing Objections Early
Prompt: “Help me improve how I handle objections before the close. Ask me what objections I face most often and what kind of buyer I work with. Then build a personalized framework for pre-framing the close so common objections are already addressed before I ask for the sale.”
5️⃣ Poor Qualification
Prompt: “I need help qualifying better before I close. Ask me about my product, buyer profile, and current qualification method. Then design a custom qualification flow and closing approach based on identifying high-fit prospects early in the process.”
6️⃣ No Clear Next Steps
Prompt: “I often finish sales conversations without clear next steps. Ask me how my current pitch ends and the type of sales cycle I deal with. Then build a customized closing framework that clearly defines commitments, follow-ups, and action steps based on my flow.”
7️⃣ Overcomplicating the Offer
Prompt: “I tend to make my offer sound too complex when I close. Ask me for details about what I’m selling and how I currently present it. Then simplify my close into one or two clear, compelling sentences using benefit-first language tailored to my product.”
8️⃣ Being Too Pushy
Prompt: “I worry that I come off too pushy when trying to close. Ask about my sales personality, industry, and typical close language. Then coach me through trust-based, low-pressure closing techniques I can use in my specific environment.”
9️⃣ Lack of Urgency
Prompt: “I need to create more urgency when I close, but I don’t want to sound desperate. Ask me about my offer, pricing model, and buying cycle. Then show me how to add urgency in a natural way, using triggers that fit my situation and audience.”
🔟 Forgetting the Follow-Up
Prompt: “I often forget or mishandle follow-up after a close attempt. Ask about my current follow-up system, sales cycle length, and communication tools. Then build me a follow-up cadence and message templates tailored to my timing and buyer behavior.”
