    Correct Answer
    A. Can I be the primary source on your next order?
    Explanation
    This question is a good example of a closing question because it directly asks for a commitment from the customer. By asking if the salesperson can be the primary source on the customer's next order, it is a clear indication that the salesperson is seeking to establish a long-term partnership with the customer. This question helps to gauge the customer's interest and willingness to continue doing business with the salesperson.

    Which Pitch might you use if the customer needs an option for higher margin sales?

    • Fruit of the Loom

    • Jerzees

    • Fashion Forward

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Fashion Forward
    Explanation
    Fashion Forward might be the pitch to use if the customer needs an option for higher margin sales because it implies that the products being sold are trendy and fashionable. This suggests that they may be priced higher and therefore have a higher profit margin. Fruit of the Loom and Jerzees are both well-known brands, but they may not necessarily convey the same sense of fashion and higher margins as Fashion Forward. Therefore, Fashion Forward is the most suitable option for this specific customer need.
