Well, my dad came up in the Dale Carneigie erra and ended up teaching the stuff so I had to listen to this crap from an early age... Most of the things that have been mentioned allready were staple in our home but my dad always wanted to "close the deal" so he's use stuff like:

"What's it going to take to get your business..."

"When would like to have the ___________ delivered", which was said even before the guy said he wanted __________.

Then along came my brother who was the master of all salesmen and he also was teaching sales training classes... The lines were "massaged" a little but the intent was the same and all aimed at getting to the "done deal"... BTW, I hate the term "done deal"...

As for "that dog don't hunt", I got that one from my mom...

Well, I've ruin it around a barn enought for now so lets just throw it up on the wall and see what sticks...
