Do I trust you? Will this help me? Is it easy?

If you can confidently answer “yes” to all three, closing the deal becomes less about convincing and more about connecting. Let’s break this down.

1. Do I Trust You?

Trust is the foundation of every sale. Without it, even the best product or service won’t move forward. Buyers are constantly scanning for credibility:

• Do you show up consistently?
• Do you keep your promises?
• Does your product do what you say it will do?
  ‍

Think about it: would you hire a financial advisor who seems unsure of their numbers? Or a home contractor who dodges direct questions? Probably not. You’re not just buying the service or product, you're buying trust.

Here are a few ways to strengthen trust:

• Show your track record. Share testimonials, before-and-after results, or client stories that highlight outcomes, not just praise.
• Be transparent. If there’s a limitation, timeline, or risk, say it. Buyers respect honesty more than perfection.
• Show up consistently. Whether it’s through your content, how you communicate, or how quickly you respond, reliability builds confidence.

2. Will This Help Me?

Once someone trusts you, their next thought is simple: “Will this actually help me?”

Buyers don’t want to waste time or money. They want to feel confident that your product, service, or solution will make their life better in a way that matters to them.

The key here is relevance. Instead of rattling off a list of benefits, connect your solution to the specific pain points your customer is facing. If they can clearly see themselves in the solution you’re describing, you’ve already answered this question.

Let’s say you sell a product, like a line of eco-friendly cleaning supplies. Instead of saying, “Our formula is made with plant-based ingredients,” focus on what that means to the buyer:

• “It’s safe for kids and pets.”
• “It cuts through grease without harsh chemicals.”
• “You can breathe easier while keeping your home clean.”
  ‍

You’re selling a result that improves someone’s life. And this applies everywhere, from home goods to software to construction. People want to see how what you offer connects to their real-world needs.

3. Is It Easy?

Even the most helpful products will struggle if it feels too complicated to buy, learn, or implement. Complexity kills deals.

When you make the buying process smooth, transparent, and low-risk, momentum builds naturally. Ask yourself:

• Is my pricing clear?
• Is it easy to engage?
• Is my process simple to understand?
• Can a new customer get value quickly without a steep learning curve?
  ‍

Take a service-based business, for example a personal trainer. If clients have to fill out multiple forms, wait days for a response, or don’t understand what happens after they book, they’ll likely stall out. But if the trainer has clear pricing, simple online scheduling, and an easy onboarding process, signing up becomes effortless.

The easier you make it for someone to say “yes,” the faster they’ll move forward. Convenience and clarity aren’t just nice-to-haves, they're competitive advantages.

Bringing It All Together

Sales isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about removing obstacles. So instead of asking, “How do I sell more?”, ask yourself:

• “How can I earn more trust?”
• “How can I make my value clearer?”
• “How can I make it easier for someone to say yes?”
  ‍

Because real growth doesn’t come from doing more it comes from making every part of your process simpler, clearer, and more human.
