Sales and negotiation are rarely taught with the rigor they deserve. Lucas and Luna sit across from each other in this series to dissect real deal-making — not the platitudes of closing techniques, but the actual arithmetic of concessions, the psychology of anchoring, and the structural choices that separate a handshake from a signature. Each episode takes a single negotiation scenario — a SaaS renewal, a distribution partnership, a founder's exit term sheet — and walks through the variables: reserve price, BATNA, discount curves, and the leverage that exists only if you know where to look. Lucas brings the reporter's instinct for precedent and data; Luna tests every assumption against what she has seen on both sides of the table as an operator. Together they examine famous closed deals (the Disney–Comcast cable carriage fight, the Salesforce–Slack acquisition dance) and anonymized real-world cases from listeners. The show does not pretend that every negotiation ends in a win-win. Some deals should not close. Some negotiators should walk. The question is whether you can tell the difference before the ink is dry. Listeners who have to negotiate for a living — founders, sales leaders, procurement officers, investment bankers — will find a vocabulary for moves they already sense, and a framework for moves they have not yet tried. What does a good concession actually cost? When do you let silence do the talking? And how do you know if you are being played, or if you are playing yourself? #SalesNegotiation #ClosingTechniques #BATNA #DealMaking #RevenueStrategy #SalesPsychology #NegotiationTactics #TermSheets #FounderAdvice #MergersAndAcquisitions #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #CareerGrowth #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #SalesTraining Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    The Sales Rep Who Won by Asking for a Price Increase
    Jun 30 2026
    In episode 84 of Closing the Deal with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna unpack a counterintuitive sales tactic: a rep who won a six-figure deal by proactively asking for a price increase mid-negotiation. They walk through how Jenny Park, a SaaS account executive at a mid-market CRM company, turned a stalled deal around by reframing value, not discounting. The hosts break down the psychology behind the move—anchoring, scarcity, and commitment consistency—and share a specific script that any salesperson can adapt. They also discuss when this tactic backfires and how to gauge buyer trust before pulling the trigger. If you're tired of race-to-the-bottom pricing, this episode offers a fresh, research-backed alternative. Sales, negotiation, and revenue conversations for operators who want to close better, not cheaper. #Sales #Negotiation #Revenue #Business #ClosingTheDeal #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #JennyPark #PriceIncrease #SaaS #CRM #ValueSelling #Anchoring #Scarcity #CommitmentConsistency #SalesTactics #NoDiscount #RevenueGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How One Rep Closed by Letting the Buyer Write the Contract

    How One Rep Closed by Letting the Buyer Write the Contract
    Jun 30 2026
    This episode dives into a counterintuitive closing tactic: letting the buyer draft the contract. Lucas and Luna break down a real-world case from a mid-market SaaS deal where the rep handed over the pen—and walked away with a shorter sales cycle and fewer objections. They explore why this works psychologically, when it backfires, and how to control the process without controlling the document. Specific examples include the rep's exact phrasing, the buyer's reaction, and the legal team's surprising flexibility. No fluff, just a concrete tactic you can adapt for complex B2B deals. #SalesTactics #Negotiation #ClosingTechniques #BuyerPsychology #SaaS #B2BSales #ContractDrafting #SalesStrategy #RevenueGrowth #DealExecution #SalesTraining #ObjectionHandling #TrustBuilding #SalesProcess #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #ClosingTheDeal Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Sales Rep Who Won by Asking for a Time Machine
    Jun 29 2026
    What do you do when a buyer says 'we would have bought this last year, but now the budget is gone'? Most reps walk away. This episode unpacks the true story of a B2B SaaS rep who didn't. Instead, she asked the buyer to reconstruct the timeline of when the need first emerged, who else was involved, and what changed. That one question reopened a closed door. We trace the logic: by anchoring the conversation to a past moment of urgency, the rep bypassed the 'no budget' objection and got the buyer to co-create a path back to yes. We also cover the psychological principle at play — the 'fresh start effect' — and how it applies to sales timelines. If you've ever been told 'we'd love to, but the timing isn't right', this episode gives you a concrete alternative to just walking away. A practical, tactical episode for anyone who sells into long sales cycles. #Sales #Negotiation #B2BSales #ClosingTechniques #ObjectionHandling #FreshStartEffect #SalesPsychology #TimelineReconstruction #NoBudget #RevenueConversations #SalesRep #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #SalesStrategy #BuyerPsychology #RevenueGrowth #ConsultativeSelling #SalesTraining Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
