The Finish Strong Formula: 3 Strategies to Close More Sales Before the Month Ends
The Finish Strong Formula: 3 Strategies to Close More Sales Before the Month Ends
Intro: The final days of the month hit different when you run a business. Whether you’re chasing a goal, clearing inventory, or trying to get your audience to actually take action—you need a plan that works fast.
But here’s the truth: Most people panic post at the end of the month—throwing up flyers, discount codes, or random urgency posts that don’t convert. Why? Because there's no structure.
This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about using strategy that actually moves people from interest to action. And lucky for you, I’ve got 3 plug-and-play ways to help you finish strong.
🌟 Strategy #1: Create an Irresistible Incentive
Stats don’t lie: Over 75% of buyers wait for a deal to take action. But you don’t need to offer a massive discount to create urgency—just make it valuable and time-sensitive.
Here’s how to build it:
Start with your goal — Is it a sales target? Customer count? Rank advancement?
Do the math — How many more orders do you need?
Pick your incentive
$5 cash back
Mystery gift
Free shipping for first 5 orders
VIP bonus (free call, bonus product, private access)
Announce it everywhere (Stories, DMs, email, group)
Create urgency with a 24- or 48-hour window
Use a form instead of sending people straight to a website
Why? Because forms let you track interest, follow up, and close the gap like a pro.
📅 Strategy #2: Stack Your Follow-Ups
The sale almost never happens on the first touch. And if you’re relying on one post or one text to carry you to your goal, you’re leaving money on the table.
Here’s how to follow up without being annoying:
Subtle Social Touches
Comment on a warm lead’s post
React to a story they shared
Like a few of their recent updates
Non-Awkward DM Scripts:
“LOL I just saw your post and it reminded me to follow up! You still thinking about that [product]?”
“I’m the worst at opening messages and forgetting—so this is me popping back in. Still interested?”
“Not sure if you grabbed it yet, but I only have 2 left for the month if you want in!”
Value-Driven Email or Text Follow-Ups Instead of just saying "hey, reminder," try sharing something valuable:
"I just learned this hydration hack that helps reduce sugar cravings… thought of you! BTW, the special ends tonight."
"Did you know most people skip SPF on cloudy days? It still causes damage. Just a friendly skincare PSA ✨ Reminder: Your $10 credit expires tonight!"
"You know that calming blend I shared last week? My client texted me saying she finally slept through the night. Want the same results? There’s still time to grab yours!"
🖋️ Strategy #3: Sell with Story (Not Flyers)
If your go-to sales post looks like a flyer… you’re losing people fast.
Here’s what to do instead: Use the P.A.T.H. Method to turn your experience into a story that connects and converts.
P.A.T.H. =
Pain: What were you struggling with?
Aha: What helped?
Transformation: What changed?
How to get it: CTA
Example: “I used to wake up more exhausted than when I went to sleep. I blamed hormones, my schedule, everything. But once I started using this one thing, I finally got quality rest. I feel like ME again. Want to try it? Drop ‘REST’ and I’ll send you the info.”
You can use this story format in:
Reels & TikToks
FB & IG posts
Email & SMS
Live video & Stories
