Sam does a phenomenal job with this show. He creates $1,000,000 worth of value each episode. A lot of trainers and podcasters are GO. GO. GO. A lot of us are not. Sam takes a soft approach and it speaks volume to us who are like him. As an introvert by nature, and an extrovert by trade, Sam knows how to get the message into my head every episode. Thank you Sam for being you. Hopefully, your friend in the future.

I’m a plumbing contractor, and after listening to a few episodes of this podcast, my average ticket already increased! One specific episode that helped me was the kitchen table vs van podcast. I started creating my options at the kitchen table and noticed a huge bump in conversions. Why did no one ever tell that before??? Thanks Sam

Awesome content for veterans and new guys. Easy to listen to and apply on the field!

Sam drops tons of golden nuggets every episode, just listened to the overcoming objections episode for the third time! Great content!

Sam knows his stuff. My average ticket has climbed about 50% since his training in November. Been in the industry for over decade an was already the top salesman for the last nine years. Doesn’t matter, Sam made me better. He literally unlocked a super power I didn’t know I had. Close it now baby! I love coming back to this podcast when I need a boost. Works every time. Love this man!

On your podcast episode the most recent one. You said something I don’t think I’ve ever heard from any HVAC person in the industry. It’s enough where people think of you as a pawn in their game or even ourselves push ourselves to our demise by working so much that becomes a joke about heart attacks or how many wives we’ve had. It is sickening to listen to, but the most powerful thing you said was that at the end of the day we don’t live to work we work to live, and that takes prioritizing your values in life and adjusting them the flow with your work.

Listen to this episode and the advice made me close a deal a hour later

Hey! I’ve been in heating cooling for four years now and just stepped into a sales position this spring! I love this podcast and help me up my sales game so fast! And I feel so confident in the home already!

Close It Now truly delivers on its intro. This is not just another podcast with rehashed sales tactics. Sam introduces experts and resources to help one improve in all aspects of life. I can pinpoint unequivocally on my sales tracking when I started listening to Close It Now and the majority of it had little to do with sales scripts, but rather self-improvement. Combined, with sales training and diligent implementation and practice, improvement is the only possible outcome, proving to yourself that “…we can, indeed have it all!”

I sell structural repair work on homes and while I’m not selling HVAC products, Sam’s material translates perfectly to my industry. Great info on how to conduct in home sales.

Great podcast lots of good tips and insights

I listen to this podcast about every day. I’m in plumbing sales but listening to this all the time multiple times. It makes me want to offer hvac and IAQ (my company offers all trades but I am a plumber). But these episodes help me get in the right mindset. I feel like we have the same idea of helping the customers just different trades. Keep it up! Thanks.

This podcast is criminally underrated. Just listened to the most recent 2 episodes and the amount of value Sam provides is unreal. Definitely worth a listen if you want to upgrade your skill set

Recently stumbled on this podcast and have been going through each episode during Drive Time U. It has sparked my commitment to refocus and strive to be a better server to homeowners.

Recently started in the industry and the advice and training solely from the podcast has helped me immensely! Super grateful for Sam and his passion for improving the industry!

"This podcast is a gem! It's entertaining and insightful, providing valuable knowledge about sales. The hosts' energy and banter make every episode enjoyable.

Sam offers practical and relatable advice that will enhance your sales skills. They have a talent for making learning a delightful experience. I highly recommend 'Close It Now' to anyone looking to elevate their sales game. Prepare to be entertained, enlightened, and equipped with the tools for success. Tune in, and you won't be disappointed!" Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sam’s PodCast is a Sales Coach, Life Coach, Sales Manger, and your overall buddy in the car. As you drive to your appointments. He gives away HUGE nuggets of knowledge for free! I can’t wait to take his training. This is an absolute must listen to PodCast for any in home sales consultant.

It has increased my closing ratio multiple percentage points, and has increased my average ticket multiple thousands of dollars. There are some serious value in this podcast. Love what you do Sam keep the great work up. Hoping to meet you soon.

We are restructuring our company and really need some sales training for our technicians and Sam has just what I was looking for. His teaching along with the many guests he has offer great tips and direction. I’ve just started an look forward to the many episodes I will be binging on and sharing with our team.

If this was a cooking recipe you will impress your guests every time. Sam truly simplifies hvac sales with his approach. I’m fairly new to the hvac sales universe and i started implementing Sam’s techniques and it works every time. Thanks for all you do Sam!! 🔥🔥

So much great info and conversations here. If you are a tradesman or business man, you can learn somthing from this.

If you’re wanting to learn how to sell more effectively listen to Sam. He’s full of knowledge and wisdom.

Sam and close it now has been the best resource for me and has helped me tremendously. My company has training but no where close the the level of value and real life examples I got from this podcast. Sam also spend 45 minutes on a zoom call with me and gave me pointers that I use now and instantly improved my sales and closing ratio!

Sam is awesome at delivering extremely detailed and amazing tips on HVAC and IAQ sales processes and scripts. One of the best and entertaining HVAC podcasts out there! Thank you Sam for all you do for our community

Close it now podcast is such an elevator. I strongly suggest you tune in if you want to close more deals.

I have been listening for a little while now, and still have a lot to catch up on, but Sam has a lot of great ideas that are typically not what you would expect. The customer base has changed and the ideas he throws out are not only practical, but relevant in todays market. I have several podcasts I listen to and Sam Wakefield comes off as genuine, sincere and really cares about helping others. Thanks Sam for sharing your thoughts and can’t wait to hear more.

Wish I would have tuned in a year ago! Can’t stop listening

So easy to utilize the skills discussed! A must!

This podcast and Sam are great. Not only are his topics on point but Sam is a great person who actually cares to help me. I’ve reached out to Sam several times to get pointers and advice and he responds and give me that advice. Each episode is good in its own way with specific topics to help us AC technicians and Salesmen to talk to clients without being that weird salesguy. It all helps me connect and build real rapport with clients. Very grateful I’ve found this podcast and Sam personally. Keep doing what you’re doing Sam. So grateful to have met you.

Best HVAC sales training there is on the market. Not a single bit of parroted old advice you hear from the 90’s. Sam is in-tune with the market and how to train you to be the best you. Listening to this podcast and connecting with Sam are the two best things you could possibly do for your HVAC career! - Daniel

I get it at least 3 to 5 gold nuggets of sales, philosophy, or skills that I can immediately put into action for myself in the field. Anybody in HVAC or solar should be listening to this podcast routinely. Sam is fantastic on his own, but he also does a great job, selecting a wide variety of seasoned professionals to interview. For the sales professional, I could not recommend anything better than the Close it Now podcast!

"Wow! This podcast is a game-changer for anyone in the HVAC and solar sales industry. The insights and strategies shared are incredibly valuable and practical. The host's expertise and passion shine through in every episode, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to take their sales skills to the next level. I've already implemented some of the techniques discussed, and I'm seeing fantastic results. Highly recommended!"

Thank you both so much for your wisdom and positive energy 🌼

This dude is a broke zig ziglar. His sales philosophy is so flawed Stevie wonder can see through it. Poor quality podcast matches his sales advice. 0 guests and 0 testimonial videos from his “sales coaching” clients. Dude is a joke.

Don’t waste your time listening to moron

Excellent podcast chock-full of great information. I’m closing at almost 50% this year and I’m scheduled to sell 2 million. Sam is awesome easy to work with and funny! Great guy for sure. Highly recommend.

I love Sam’s podcast. I follow a lot of HVAC sales trainers and Sam’s content is by far the most actionable. You can literally listen to a podcast and start implementing the skills at your next quote! Keep it up Sam! 👍 👍 👍

Good podcast, quality wish was better! Also you say learning from guest I have not heard any guest but yourself talk. Lol

I just really liked the way Sam Presented the information. I like the idea of unpacking the strategies with specific examples. You can hear him on the road at the same time, I’m out on the road. Also, I’m a younger sales consultant and its nice hearing this stuff from someone I can relate too. Thanks Sam
