You drill the situation, not just the script. A close lives inside conditions — the stage of the appointment, the homeowner's motive, the one thing still unresolved — so the drill sets those first, runs the close that fits them, and grades the selection as well as the delivery. And it doesn't end at the yes: the silence after the ask and the wobble after it are part of the close.
The short answer
Structure the round in four beats. Situation: the partner (or the round) deals the conditions — first visit, both decision makers, investment isolated, motive known. Selection: the rep names the close and why it fits — selection is a gradeable skill, and the twelve closes exist because situations differ. Delivery: the close run in documented language, including the ask. Aftermath: the part most drills skip — the silence held, the temperature re-checked, the second objection or the yes handled with the button-up discipline. Spar's twelve closing drills are built on exactly this skeleton; partner practice should steal it.
How it runs
The fastest way to learn selection is contrast: run the takeaway where a Franklin T belongs and feel the appointment leak. Deliberate mismatches teach the read faster than successes do, because the situation's signals become visible in the failure. Then re-run it correctly. That loop — mismatch, diagnose, correct — is the same loop the live framework runs on objections, and it's why Spar grades rounds against the system instead of against outcomes alone.
Spar's rounds train the reps who run them — the reps who show up daily get the reps. Round 1 is free; the full camp is $29/month. Spar before you knock.
