The Five Squared Framework
The Five Squared Framework reveals what truly happens in a client’s mind during decision-making—and how consultants can guide that process through neuroscience, structure, and authentic human connection.
From capturing attention and building trust to uncovering real needs, dissolving resistance, and leading executives to confident, timely decisions, the book transforms every interaction into a deliberate sequence where emotion and logic work together. With 25 practical levers—five for each phase: Engage, Explore, Explain, Align, Close—Daniele Casuccio offers a repeatable system that cuts through noise, reduces cognitive bias, accelerates choices, and delivers measurable impact. A powerful guide for consultants and leaders who want to go beyond positive thinking and create real, lasting value through discipline, clarity, and actionable insight.
As an expert in customer operations, Daniele Casuccio has spent the last 25 years observing customer behavior and testing various sales approaches across a wide range of products and services worldwide. At the same time, he has cultivated a deep interest in neuroscience and applied scientific concepts to his consulting work.
In this book, Daniele Casuccio shares his knowledge and extensive experience to help you boost your sales by leveraging neuroscience, storytelling, and psychology. Clear explanations and practical advice will enable you to:
- understand the mechanisms that influence customer decisions
- create conversations that spark positive emotions in the customer’s brain
- ask the right questions
- use the most effective communication and persuasion techniques
Sales is both a science and an art.
It’s a science because success in customer conversations requires a structured method; yet it is also an art, due to the importance of the human element — no two sales interactions are ever the same. The success of a sales interaction depends on the quality of communication, which in turn relies on building trust with the customer.
This is why it is essential to understand how the customer decision-making process works.
This book will help you enhance your sales techniques by giving you a clear theoretical foundation on how the brain works, how to conduct effective sales conversations, and how to communicate in ways that increase the chances of closing deals successfully. Each chapter will show you why these concepts matter and how to apply them in practice.
