3 Hidden Sales Tactics to Close 6.8X More Deals

Selling feels easy when the conversation flows naturally—but for most entrepreneurs, it doesn’t. Instead, it feels like pulling teeth.

You spend time explaining what you do, why your offer is great, and how it can help… only for people to say, “Sounds interesting, but let me think about it.”

You follow up. Nothing.

Or worse, they ask about the price, you tell them, and suddenly they disappear.

Sales shouldn’t feel this frustrating. The best closers don’t chase prospects or convince them to buy. They use subtle but powerful shifts in how they communicate—so prospects feel like buying is their own decision.

Here are four hidden tactics that will help you close 4.8X more deals—without pushing, chasing, or feeling like you’re begging for business.

1. Use Reverse Selling to Make Prospects Chase You

Most salespeople start conversations like this:

"Hey, I’d love to show you how we can help!"

It sounds fine, but it instantly puts you in sales mode—and people can feel it.

No one likes feeling like they’re being pitched to. The second someone senses a sales pitch, they instinctively back away.

Think about it—when was the last time you were excited to hear a sales pitch?

Instead of pushing your offer onto people, flip the script and make them feel like they’re making the decision.

Try this:

"Not sure if this would be a fit for you, but if you're open, I can walk you through it, and you can decide if it makes sense."

Why This Works:

• Takes the pressure off. You’re not trying to “convince” them—you’re giving them the choice.
• Makes them curious. Instead of feeling like they’re dodging a pitch, they wonder, “Wait, why wouldn’t this be for me?”
• Puts them in control. People love making their own decisions but hate being sold to.

This tiny shift completely changes the tone of the conversation. Instead of running from the sale, prospects lean in—because they don’t feel like they’re being pushed into anything.

Sales teams who use this approach see 3X more engagement from prospects.

2. Use the “30-Second Drill” to Sell Without Over-Explaining

Ever try explaining what you do, only to see someone’s eyes glaze over?

It happens all the time because most people talk too much when selling. The more details you give, the more confused your prospect gets.

You don’t need a long explanation—you need a clear, short one. That’s where the 30-Second Drill comes in.

How It Works:

Keep it simple with this three-step framework:

Problem → Solution → Proof

Example:

• Problem: “Most agencies waste 20+ hours a week chasing leads.”
• Solution: “We automate follow-ups, so you don’t have to.”
• Proof: “One client saved 15 hours a week and doubled their close rate.”

Why This Works:

• It keeps it short. No fluff, no over-explaining.
• It focuses on results. Prospects don’t care about features—they care about what’s in it for them.
• It makes your offer easy to understand. A confused buyer never buys.

If you can’t explain what you do in 30 seconds or less, you’re making it harder for people to say yes.

Keeping your pitch clear and simple can boost engagement by 60%.

3. Handle Objections Before They Come Up

Most salespeople wait for objections, then try to fight them off. But by that point, it’s already too late.

Smart closers remove objections before the buyer even brings them up.

For example, if you know price is going to be an issue, don’t wait for the prospect to say, “This seems expensive.”

Instead, bring it up first:

"Some companies charge less, but our clients close deals 40% faster, which makes up for the cost in just a few weeks."

Why This Works:

• It shows confidence. You’re not avoiding the issue—you’re owning it.
• It reframes the cost. Now they see it as an investment, not an expense.
• It removes hesitation. If they were going to object later, now they don’t need to.

Sales reps who proactively handle objections close 35% more deals.

The sooner you remove doubt, the faster people say yes.

Final Thoughts: Small Shifts = Big Wins in Sales

Most people think they need to push harder to make more sales. But the reality is, you don’t need to push at all. You just need smarter strategies.

Here’s a recap of the four hidden tactics that will help you close 4.8X more deals:

1. Use Reverse Selling to Make Prospects Chase You—Take the pressure off and make prospects curious.
2. Use the “30-Second Drill” to Sell Without Over-Explaining—Say less and focus on what matters.
3. Handle Objections Before They Come Up—Address concerns early so they don’t become deal-breakers.

Sales isn’t about convincing people. It’s about making the decision feel obvious.
