Don’t
Don’t feel as though you have to buy something today.
Might/Maybe
You might want to take
out the trash later
Maybe, you’ll help me
with some household
chores later.
Assumption of Obvious
You probably already
know, deep down,
how important
studying hard for your
exams is.
I could tell you to do
your homework, but I
won’t. I’m sure you
know the importance
of doing them.
Tell You
I wouldn’t tell you to
bring me out, because
I respect your
decision and I know
you will always do
the right thing.
Tell You
● The economy is bad
● The country is going
in the wrong
direction
● Change is in order
● Therefore, you
should vote me in
Truth
You will save money with this software, won’t you?
You do want this home, don’t you?
You can afford it, can’t you?

the backyard”
“This car is definitely a wise choice.
Will you be driving it, or will it be
your wife?
Assumptive Close
“I’ll have the machine delivered tomorrow. We will show you how to
maximize it. After 10 days, if you’re not satisfied, we can take it back.”
Puppy-Dog Close
Will you be buying manual or
auto?
Would you prefer a monthly
or quarterly plan?
Will you be paying in cash or
credit?
Alternative-Choice Close
Buyer:“We need to the software up and running by 1st December.”
