Need help/tips for closing interviews in IB

Just finished my 3rd superday/final round and recieved a rejection. One contact I was close with mentioned I could do better closing the interview. Curious any tips and how important is this? Am i really just a few words at the end of the interview away from an offer or should I look to overhaul my approach more than just my close?
