Codie Sanchez breaks down four ways to build trust and close more sales. Stop using magic closing lines. Instead, disqualify bad prospects like Patagonia did, build a proof vault of case studies you can pull instantly, give value three times before asking for money, and use a pitch document as a flexible guide, not a script.

Dude, I've sold hundreds of millions of dollars, and one of the dumbest pieces of sales advice I've ever heard is that you have like a magical closing one-liner. There are 4 ways to build trust and 10x your sales, and it's not a closing one-liner. The first is the anti-sales playbook. Your product isn't right for everyone. Anti-sell them. Be honest. Tell them. Patagonia literally ran an ad that said, don't buy this jacket. Number 2 is have a proof vault. Every DM before and after video. Organize your customers by type. You pull the right case study in 30 seconds and you show, don't tell. Then 3 outreach templates. I like the formula give, give, give, ask. So 3 to 1 in 4 touchpoints. If you can't offer 3 valuable things before asking for money, then you're just obnoxious. And finally, I would say a pitch document. It's not a script, it's a guide. I break down exactly how to build each one of these in actually chapter 6 of Own or Be Owned. And so if you want to steal my homework, you can do it right here.
