When a few of our clients started using gifting to help close deals, we were a little surprised.

The best use case we’re seeing: a deal that’s been in the works for months. Both sides have invested serious time and energy. Right after the proposal is submitted, the seller sends something thoughtful, with a personalized note that acknowledges the journey.

It’s not “here’s a gift, now sign.”

It’s “I see how much effort you’ve put into this. Thank you.”

That’s a completely different message – and buyers feel the difference.

One of our clients went from a 30% to 65% close rate, and cut their deal cycle by 30 days. Same product, same team. Different touch at the right moment.

The lesson? Sometimes the tactics that feel awkward on paper are the ones that work best in practice.

The key is context, timing and above all, be thoughtful about it.
