#5 Close High-Ticket Deals and Scale Your Revenue  – by Matt Lakajev

Updated: June 26, 2026

PlayBook#5 – (Framework sourced from Matt Lakajev’s strategy)

Why this Playbook matters

You now:

• Attract the right people
• Start conversations
• Book calls

Now you must close — consistently, without pressure.

This Playbook gives you a full sales flow:

→ Discovery Call → Pitch Call → Payment → Onboarding
→ (Optional Downsell or Payment Plan)

The goal is not persuasion.
The goal is for the buyer to conclude:

“Working with you is the safest, smartest next step.”


Section A — The “Offer Doc”

(replaces PDF proposals)

PDF decks feel generic and overly designed.
A Google Doc or Notion page feels tailored and more believable.

Use this exact structure:

SectionPurpose
OutcomeThe result they get from working with you
Who it’s forConfirm they’re in the right place
Who it’s NOT forBuilds trust by disqualifying wrong fits
MechanismYour unique method or process
ProofTestimonials or short case examples
Next StepCTA → Book the pitch call

Keep formatting clean, simple, and short.

Important:
Send the doc after they show interest — not earlier.

Section B — The Two-Call Close Structure

Matt’s closing system uses:

  1. Discovery Call — about them
  2. Pitch Call — about your solution

This reduces pressure and doubles close rates because the buyer first feels understood.


Discovery Call Script

(All about the prospect — not your offer)

Opening:

“I want to make sure I understand your business first.
If I can help, we’ll book another call where I walk you through the plan.
If not, I’ll point you in the right direction. Does that sound ok?”

Core questions (choose 4–6):
• What are you trying to achieve in the next 90 days?
• What’s currently blocking you?
• What have you already tried?
• What happens if this problem continues?
• Are you fully responsible for solving this?

Collect exact phrases they use →
use them later in the Pitch Call.

Close the call with:

“Thanks, this is helpful. I’ll put together a clear plan with options.
Let’s review it in 1–2 days.”

Pitch Call Script

(Reflect their words back)

Use your notes:

“You mentioned that [their problem] is costing you [impact].
You also said you want [result] in the next [timeframe]. Is that right?”

Then move to your solution →
inside the Offer Doc.

Your tone should feel like:

• Calm
• Certain
• A professional advising a serious issue

Not pushing.
Not selling features.


Section C — Price Presentation That Works

Never show one price.
Use three tiers to anchor value.

Example for website services:

  • Tier 1 — Full Done-for-you Growth Plan: $14,000
  • Tier 2 — Core Build + Conversion Fixes: $9,000
  • Tier 3 — Starter Build: $5,500

Follow with:

“Which one are you leaning toward?”

This assumes the sale
and invites a choice, not a yes/no debate.

If budget resistance comes:
Offer a payment plan first.
If needed, a downsell second (e.g., strategy workshop).

Goal:
Capture revenue while keeping them in your ecosystem.

Section D — Handle Objections Calmly

View objections as:
• Lack of clarity
or
• Fear of making a mistake

Ask:

“What specifically makes you hesitate?”

Most objections fall into 3 categories:

FearWhat to do
“Will this work for me?”Repeat their specific situation + relevant proof
“Is now the right time?”Ask about cost of delay
“Can I afford this?”Offer payment structures

Your job isn’t to push.
Your job is to remove friction.

Section E — Post-Commitment Protocol

(Stop buyer’s remorse immediately)

The moment they say yes is fragile.
Matt emphasizes immediate “momentum locking.”

Do not end the call after payment.

While still on the call:
• Schedule kickoff
• Send onboarding form
• Add them to Slack/WhatsApp
• Introduce next milestone

Ask:

“What are you most excited to fix first?”

Now they feel confident — not scared.

Section F — Scaling With Sales Support

After closing becomes consistent, hire a Setter or Community Manager:
• Handles DMs
• Qualifies leads
• Books calls for you

Look for high-EQ communicators — not tech skills.

This frees you to focus on:
• Content
• Strategy
• Sales calls only with best leads

This is how you pass $30k/month → $80k+/month.


Quick Action Checklist

☑️ Create Offer Doc (clear, simple, value-first)
☑️ Run 2-call structure (Discovery → Pitch)
☑️ Use a 3-tier pricing model
☑️ Add payment plan + downsell options
☑️ Onboard clients on the same call
☑️ Track close rates weekly
☑️ Hire setter once demand > supply

Implement these, and your business becomes predictable and scalable.


Final Goal of Playbook #5

You move from:

“Trying to get clients”

to:

Clients trying to get you.

That’s the Demand Surplus Matt builds his business on.
