🗣️ Scripts & Closes

The Takeaway Close

Gently pull the offer back so the buyer leans in instead of you chasing.

🎯 The Play

Common in luxury and high-ticket sales. When a buyer is drifting, you calmly suggest this may not be the right fit: ‘Honestly, this model may be more car than you need — the other one might make more sense.’ People want what they might not get. Done honestly, it also builds trust because you’re clearly not desperate.

🏁 End Result

Often shifts the buyer from evaluating you to defending their own interest in the product. Overused or faked, it reads as a gimmick — keep it sincere.

🧰 Steal It

1. Use only after the buyer has shown genuine interest.
2. Point to a real alternative (lower trim, smaller package, wait for later).
3. Say it calmly and mean it; be ready for them to take the alternative.
4. Let them argue for the original choice.
5. Follow with a simple next-step question.
