The Friction
Deals rarely die from a clear 'no'; they die in the purgatory of 'let us review this internally next week.' Hesitation means there is an unstated political, financial, or technical risk holding the buyer back.
The 3 Diagnostic Closing Questions
01
The Scale Diagnostic: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that this solves your team's objection ramp time? What would it take to turn that 7 into a 10?"
02
The Risk Uncover: "What is the biggest internal risk you feel you would be taking on by championing this to your CFO?"
03
The Catalyst Close: "If we can address the security audit timeline by Friday, is there anything else preventing us from starting onboarding next Monday?"
