Bus/Financial - Human Resources / sales presentation
German term or phrase: Vorabschluss
Hello again,

Still working on the sales presentation! This sentence tells salespeople to isolate customer objections:

"als Vorabschluss, um auf eine positive Kaufentscheidung aufmerksam zu machen."

What's a Vorabschluss?

Many thanks!

Hilary ;-)
