How Top Closers Leverage Financing in Home Improvement Sales | Dan Coomes-Barry Grosso University

Financing isn’t something to avoid in home improvement sales. It’s one of the most powerful tools a closer has when it’s used correctly.

In this long-form training, Daniel Coomes-Barry, Head Sales Trainer at Grosso University, breaks down exactly how top closers leverage financing to sell large-ticket home improvement projects without pressure, games, or manipulation.

Dan walks through real in-home sales scenarios step by step, showing how to introduce financing after price presentation, how to structure deposits, and how to confidently lay out multiple loan options. He explains why most homeowners say they “don’t like financing,” how to overcome that objection with logic and empathy, and how to position financing as a safer, smarter solution for five-figure projects.

This video also covers how interest rates actually work, why unsecured home improvement loans are different from mortgages and credit cards, and how to use inflation, ROI, and property value appreciation to reframe the conversation. If you sell high-ticket home improvement products and want to close more deals on the first visit, this is essential training.
