The last 60 seconds of a sales call decide everything and most sellers give away control right when it matters most.
Most sales calls are lost in the final minute.
Not because the offer is wrong. Not because the price is too high. But because the seller gives up control right at the end.
If you end a call with Do you have any questions You have already shifted power away from yourself.
And deals stall.
Why Any Questions Is a Deal Killer
When you ask any questions, you are not leading.
You are seeking validation.
You are telling the buyer I am done selling Please decide for me
That single sentence opens the door to doubt, delay, and indecision.
Buyers do not need permission to question. They need leadership through uncertainty.
The Real Job of a Closer
Your job is not to check if the buyer is confused.
Your job is to guide their internal dialogue.
Every buying decision creates tension. Uncertainty about timing. Uncertainty about risk. Uncertainty about making the wrong call.
Closers do not remove that tension by asking open ended permission questions.
They direct it.
🎥 Watch the Short Breakdown
This short shows exactly how elite sellers maintain control in the final moments of a sales call without pressure or manipulation.
Question One That Keeps Control
Instead of any questions, ask this.
Does this move align with your vision
This question does something powerful.
It frames the decision around outcomes instead of objections. It forces the buyer to think forward instead of sideways. It keeps the conversation strategic rather than tactical.
You are no longer selling features. You are testing alignment.
Question Two That Surfaces the Real Obstacle
Then ask this.
What would need to be true for you to say yes with full confidence
This question is where deals are actually won.
It does not invite small objections. It surfaces the real blocker. Timing. Authority. Risk. Trust.
Instead of guessing, you let the buyer tell you.
Why These Two Questions Work
These questions do not feel aggressive.
They feel clarifying.
They signal leadership. They signal certainty. They signal that you are comfortable guiding the decision.
Most importantly, they prevent silent no decisions after the call.
You are not chasing objections. You are leading resolution.
Closers Do Not Ask for Permission
When you end with any questions, you are asking for permission to close.
When you end with precision, you control the pace of belief.
That is the difference between deals that stall and deals that move forward.
The System Behind Strong Closes
This is not a trick.
It is a system.
Lead uncertainty instead of avoiding it. End with clarity instead of openness. Guide the decision instead of waiting for it.
That is how closers close.
