emotional part
Every customer has a emotional part esp, talking like not to compromise of quality, we should identify it and use it to our advantage.it can be anything but genuinely empathise with them about something.
Nice office, nice coffee, nice environment, prime location,good furtniture. Growing trend about the biz the do. mebbe you can ease with them on common topic.
this is just to make them comfortable that we arent pushing hard on the product.
Closure: this is where you should be very strong headed asking him question why when there is criticality, need and proper solution available. but mostly if we give the correct solution relating to their need, the customer will automatically close it without any push.
