THE FORM

Eight moves. Any offer, any room, any channel.

The constants

  1. Diagnose, don't persuade. A no is a finished job.
  2. Go flatter than them. Never match hostility.
  3. Anchor high, and go first.
  4. Never discount. Change the scope.
  5. After the number, say nothing.
  6. Urgency only if it's true.
  7. Ask for the smallest yes available.

In person — what changes

Show it, don't describe it.
Silence hits three times harder. Let it.
Shut up completely while they read.

The five objections

Never say

    After the yes

    1 · money firstSend the payment link before you hang up. Your Yoco tiers are already live — 6000 · merLNp · 4250 · 4gWy0Y · 3250 · mRPrNq.
    "Sending the link now. Tell me when it lands."
    2 · ask once, in one messageLogo. Photos. Hours. Services and prices. Phone, email, address.
    3 · name a date, not a duration"Live on the 14th" — never "about two weeks".
    4 · balance on handoverThey see it working, then they pay the rest.

    ruleOne line, then close the file. Never chase.
    "Assuming the timing's off — I'll close the file. Say the word if not."
    Follow-up — 3 touches, then out
    cadenceDay 0 the call · Day 3 one line, new angle · Day 8 one line, last value · Day 15 close it out.
    "Closing your file — say the word if you want it left open."

    After a real call

    Six taps. Ten seconds. Only real calls — drills don't count.
