These, I'd also add
4) Lead the convo with benefit to them.
5) Ask for the sale - or close it. - This can also prevent buyers from backing out as easily.

Some good tie-ins to do this that force people into agreeing is words like "Sound good?", and of course advise how it's a win in more ways than one for your customer.

It makes it a lot easier and less stressful when you know management is not out to get you ever day lol

I'm always ordering things, like a few packages a day.. Do you get annoyed with customers like me? I feel ashamed when I see the driver, I try to be nice an express gratitude but I feel bad inside. UPS is great I never have an issue... USPS on the other hand lost 4 out of my 5 last orders and 2 phone returns to ATT.

Just when you think it's hit rock bottom in here, you guys blow the floor out one more time.

I was really fired up when I read these responses.
