Most sales reps rely on scripts. And you know what that sounds like to a prospect? Predictable, pushy, and impersonal.
Scripts kill flow. Scripts kill connection. Scripts kill trust.
The truth is… people don’t want to be “sold.” They want to feel understood.
That’s why guiding the conversation is an art.. and the best closers know it.
✅ Instead of reading a script…
→ Lead with curiosity. Ask open-ended questions that show genuine interest.
→ Match their tone and pace. Make them feel like the conversation is natural.
→ Build rapport first. Find common ground, and create an environment where they want to open up.
When you guide the conversation, you control the outcome without controlling the person.
That’s how you build a real connection, and connection always beats a canned pitch.
Remember:
People buy from people they like, trust, and feel comfortable with.
Scripts don’t do that. You do.
