"Emotion opens the door, logic makes it stick."
Rational Selling: The Foundation
In sales, emotion is what gets the buyer interested—it's the spark. But emotion alone doesn't close deals. Logic is what transforms interest into commitment.
The Core Principle:
People make emotional decisions, but they need logical justification to follow through. Your job as a rational closer is to help buyers rationalize their emotional desires.
Key Concepts:
- Emotion Opens the Door: Connect with the buyer's feelings, desires, and pain points
- Logic Makes It Stick: Provide rational reasons that support their emotional decision
- Never Fight Emotion: Work with it, channel it, guide it with reason
Example in Action:
Buyer: "I really love this product, but..." You: "I can see you're excited about it. Let's make sure the numbers work for you and that this aligns with your goals. What specific outcomes are you hoping to achieve?"
This approach validates their emotion while steering toward rational decision-making.
