陈老师啊，我这边有一个问题。就是我做销售有一段时间了，然后对于就是确定，可能说潜在的客户这样子，我现在还勉强能够把握。但是我现在遇到的最大的瓶颈就是说，一般来说我确定了客户，他有这个购买能力，而且有这个需求，但是他们可能在一些比如说，还在很犹豫，但是就是很难套出来他们到底在犹豫什么。有些人可能是因为价格呀什么的。有没有什么办法可以就是说在最短的时间内，就是把这个案子给关掉这样子？

Teacher Chen, I have a question. It's just that I've been a salesperson for a while, and about being sure, being able to say what a potential customer is like, now I can handle that with a bit of effort. However, the biggest problem that I've encountered is this: usually I'd say that I can judge a customer - he has purchasing power and he has the need, but they could... for example... they're still hesitant, but it's really hard to tell what they are hesitant about. For some people it could be because of price or something. Do you have any way to be able to tell in the shortest amount of time... to resolve this kind of situation?
