close the deal

Big rallies in the last stages of an election cycle are meant to signal a candidate’s final message, an effort to close the deal with voters.

Biden and his people are talented and well-meaning, but they couldn’t close the deal.

Not yet good enough to close the deal.

Even if a seller upfront says they won’t pay, buyers can, as a condition of their offer, say they need a certain amount of concessions to close the deal.
