6. Penetration Selling -- Penetrating the Barriers to Commitment
| |
| The fifth and final step of the Penetration Selling process is “Closing”. Closing is defined as getting a firm commitment from the prospect to acquire the product or service which is being offered.
The key barriers that need to be penetrated in order for the close to be successful are often referred to, among sales-trainers, as “Objections”. This is a catch-all term which includes any and every thought a prospect might present, or action he might take, that acts to block the completion of the sale.

Living from our Higher Values
| |
| The basics of human behavior requires that we live to our highest values, thus in so doing we are congruent with our true selves. Higher values always dictate to us from within whereas our lowest values are motivated from outside forces. When we live to our higher values we will operate/work spontaneously, we will be working on what we love and we will have a smile on our faces. We will be self-driven when aligned with our highest values. On the other hand, when we are operating from without, we need constant motivation and push. Our days are a “drag” and our whole lives can be described as “unlived lives” in that we are not doing what comes naturally to us. When we set goals aligned to our highest values we are inspired and will succeed. |
