Hey! I’ve been in heating cooling for four years now and just stepped into a sales position this spring! I love this podcast and help me up my sales game so fast! And I feel so confident in the home already!

Instant Results!!!

Close It Now truly delivers on its intro. This is not just another podcast with rehashed sales tactics. Sam introduces experts and resources to help one improve in all aspects of life. I can pinpoint unequivocally on my sales tracking when I started listening to Close It Now and the majority of it had little to do with sales scripts, but rather self-improvement. Combined, with sales training and diligent implementation and practice, improvement is the only possible outcome, proving to yourself that “…we can, indeed have it all!”

Awesome material

I sell structural repair work on homes and while I’m not selling HVAC products, Sam’s material translates perfectly to my industry. Great info on how to conduct in home sales.
