🧠 EP54 – How to Finish Strong Without Breaking Trust
The close doesn’t have to feel like a wrestling match.
Too many consultants lose the deal in the last 5 minutes because they shift tone, rush the paperwork, or throw out a pressure line that undoes all the trust they built.
This week’s episode of the AutoKnerd Podcast is all about closing without breaking trust — how to finish strong, keep your humanity intact, and leave your customer feeling confident, not cornered.
Closing should never feel like pressure. It should feel like proof that you’ve been aligned the whole way through.
This week, take the tool, use it on the floor, and see what changes when trust drives the close.
