As sales reps and managers most of what we know to advance our deals is the need to overcome or defeat status quo. When we start seeing gaps in communication with our prospects, deal momentum started to slow down, we dial up FOMO. Reignite the burning platform, the shiny features we showed them in our demo, the 10% end of quarter discount. Sprinkled with a little bit of fear to remind them there is a better way, lets move them away from current state, “the pain of same"

When the deal still doesn’t advance, we scratch our head as this is all we knew.

Fast forward to the release of @Matt Dixon and @TEdMckenna book The Jolt Effect and Voila there is another hurdle we have to overcome, oh and it’s bigger than status quo!

Nearly 60% of deals end in no activity due to indecision. Even though they have articulated they want to move forward, with you, status quo is no longer an option the deal stalls.

 Tune in to my conversation with the amazing Matt Dixon where he shares what we should do in these instances to dial down the FOMU, fear of messing up and help our buyers feel more confident in their decision making.
