<p>There’s a lot to be learned when it comes sales closing techniques. Sometimes, a salesperson, business owner or an entrepreneur tend to be over excited when they think they found the perfect person to close a deal with. What they don’t know is that providing a lot of information about their services might lead to not getting the sale. </p>
<p>On this episode, we have Oren Klaff. He’s currently the President and CEO of Pitch Anything. He’s also world-renowned for his ability to close multimillion-dollar sales and do so very quickly.</p>
<p>Oren talks about how to position a conversation to be able to close a deal. He also shares how to be able to identify the problem of a business or service and how to point out those problems.</p>

<p>When doing business, we always think about how to get new clients but we forgot that we also have to consider how to retain customers who have already done business with us.</p>
<p>The existing customers are the goldmine of the business. They are the people who know, like and trust the business already.  Staying in touch and appreciating them is one way of letting them know that the business cares for them.</p>
<p>On this episode, we have Jaime “Jim” Hernandez. He’s currently the President and CEO of Strategic Business Communications, Inc. He is also recognized as part of the Inc. 5000 list.</p>
<p>Jim shares about client retention and how to give importance to the existing clients. He also talks about how people can mix business and friendship.</p>
