Yes, the 'Approach Close' smacks of a fancy salesman term for 'arm-twisting'. Pushy salesmen tend to put a high premium on Closing The Deal, because after that it is too late (for the dupe). Time To Think About It is an anathema to a salesman, since worthy questions may float in, such as:

Do I really want one of these things?
What else could I get for that much?
Do I even have room for this junk?
Could some other poster have a better deal on the same thing?
