Tired of getting ghosted after sending a proposal?

In this live talk from the East Orlando Chamber’s Merchant Monday, Sean Lyden breaks down his four-part framework for closing more sales the systematic way.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to:

- Handle pricing conversations early without losing credibility

- Set clear next steps that prevent prospects from ghosting

- Build buyer confidence without coming across as pushy

- Use the L-A-P Method (Label, Ask, Propose) to clarify objections
