Gene Explains How to Close a Sale

IN TODAY’S VIDEO, Gene the Jeweler is kind enough to divulge his techniques for closing a sale.

Closing deals in Gene’s store starts with one key concept: “Make them buy.”

To achieve that, he uses methods such as discounting his products and throwing in extra items — such as mountings — or services. He’s even been known to wash a customer’s car now and then.

And his staff members have some, shall we say, interesting techniques of their own.
