Over the years, a few dozen people have reached out asking for consults — mostly about sales, deal structuring, and how to put together partnerships without crashing and burning. So I figured… alright, let’s talk about it. Because after all I have crashed and burned before myself…but after some time I have surely learned a thing or two. I guess mama never raised no fool.

I’ve used every single one of these tactics (and then some) over the years.
Some of them have made me hundreds of thousands.
Some have saved deals that were hanging by dental-floss thin margins. Yup!

I’ve put together 10 sales and deal-making strategies that actually work in the real world and ones I have used over the years myself. I dare you to use them.

1. Set the anchor

Whoever throws out the first number controls the tone.
You set the anchor, everything else bends around it.
It’s simple, but it’s one of the most powerful tools you’ll ever use and gosh darn it I use it always.

2. Close on silence

State your offer… then say nothing.
Silence makes people uncomfortable — and in that discomfort, they talk, clarify, or reveal what they really want. I’m a chatter box so this for me is hard and to this day takes real practice. Silence wins deals though.

3. Offer three versions of the deal

Now obviously this really only works in certain deals or products. However always try and give choice. Works great with products though or certain types of services.

  • A premium option

  • A clean standard option

  • A simple budget option

Most people pick the middle — which is usually the one you want them to take anyway.

4. Break big numbers into smaller pieces

Huge commitments scare people. Heck they scare me.
Break it down: a little upfront, a little on delivery, maybe some upside.
Same deal — but psychologically way easier to say yes to.

5. Lead with a guarantee

When you remove the risk, you remove the hesitation.
Guarantee something — ROI, buy-back, support, replacement — and watch objections disappear.

We’ve used this strategy for years across products, services, and major deals. I take it seriously. If you’re paying for something, you should get the full value of what you bought — whether that’s a product that lasts its full life cycle or a deal that produces a positive ROI. Whatever it takes to protect their investment.

Bottom line: take this one seriously. Doing good business, standing by your word, and taking care of clients still matters.

6. Give them a win

People love to feel like they “got something.”
Offer a visible win — a small concession, naming credit, a bonus feature — and they’ll be more flexible on the stuff that matters.

7. Use the escalation ladder

Have multiple versions ready.
If they say no to A, you casually slide into B.
If they still push back, here comes C.
Each downgrade feels easier to accept than the last, even if the core deal stays the same. This is sorta kinda #3. Always have options ready….always.

We used this same strategy recently on a deal with a major VPN provider.

8. Leverage information they don’t have

This is the quiet power move.
Walk in knowing comps, valuations, traffic numbers, margins, trends. Lead with competency. Whoever has more data naturally leads the negotiation.

Now careful. Don’t just give data diarrhea. Let them know how that affects them. Talk value value value. Ultimately we all just want to know how this and that benefits us.

9. Be willing to walk away

People feel it when you don’t need the deal.
It changes the energy immediately.
When you’re genuinely okay with walking away, the negotiation tends to tilt in your favor.

When you show you really need the deal, then people can and will use that against you. So even if you desperately need it, don’t show it.

Listen…there’s a big world out there. There is someone who needs your product, service or structured deal. So be chill. If not them then someone else will buy it. Not everyone will see value and that is okay.

10. Make the deal “done for you”

People say yes faster when the path requires almost zero friction. It is human nature. Even if there is friction, paint a clear solution towards ease.
Offer your systems, your team, your SOPs — make the whole thing plug-and-play.

The easier it feels, the faster they’ll buy your products, services or that deal you are cooking up. That is why I like automating our business processes. Use tech to make operations easy and painless.

These are some of the simplest, common-sales and deal making strategies. Use them. Perfect them.

Ultimately make sure you do right by your clients and customers, no matter what it takes.
