The Close It Now Difference

Built for how people buy today

Most industry sales training hasn't evolved in 15–20 years. This system has: grounded in buying psychology, refined on real kitchen tables.

01

Emotion-first psychology

The way people buy has shifted: emotion and feeling now lead every purchasing decision. The system is grounded in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the latest psychological insight into what actually happens in a sales interaction.

02

Permission-based selling

The homeowner becomes a co-creator of the project, not the target of a pitch. You develop the proposal together: so acceptance rates surge and "let me think about it" disappears.

03

Forged in the field

Sam started on install crews, moved into sales, and closed millions of dollars of equipment at a 50%+ close rate before training teams. Everything taught here was proven in real homes first.

Where the sale happens

It comes down to the kitchen table.

Every technique in the system exists for one moment: sitting across from a homeowner, walking them through what you found, and building the solution together instead of pitching at them. That is where the close is won or lost.

Meet Your Coach

From install crews to millions sold

Sam Wakefield learned HVAC from the ground up: starting on install crews and working in tight spaces before stepping into sales with all the fear, doubt, and anxiety of rejection that comes with it. Diving deep into his own growth, he broke the process down, built the Close It Now system, sold millions of dollars in equipment at a 50%+ close rate, won multiple sales awards, and became the lead sales trainer for companies in small and large markets alike.

"For things to be better, you have to get better."

The Jim Rohn principle Sam built a career on. Who you are determines who buys from you: coaching from the inside out is the core of every Close It Now program.
