Example: The Alternative-Choice Close is an Old Favorite

“Would you prefer the Xerox 6200 or 6400 copier?”

• Study this question. It assumes…– The customer has a desire to buy one of the copiers– The customer will buy– And allows the customer a preference– It provides a choice between products, not between a product

and nothing– By presenting a choice, you receive a “yes” decision or

uncover objections

“Would you prefer the Xerox 6200 or 6400 copier?”

• “I’m not sure.”, says the customer

• Continue with your FABs

• If you see customer likes both 6200 and 6400 and appears indecisive, you can ask:– “Is there something you are unsure of?”

• This question probes to find out why your prospect is not ready to choose

“Would you prefer the Xerox 6200 or 6400 copier?”
