The JOLT Effect

We wrote the JOLT Effect to share the details of our most recent sales research undertaking - a two-and-a-half year study of 2.5 million sales calls to better understand why so many deals end in “no decision.” Our ground-breaking findings revealed why buyer indecision has become, for many sales teams, the biggest obstacle to growth.

The world’s biggest study of losses ever conducted details a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive playbook for tackling customer indecision across the entire sales cycle.

Whether due to previous bad experiences with other vendors, internal political situations inside buyer organizations, or indecisive decision makers, customers struggle to make a decision even when they openly desire the product or service.

But most sellers mishandle and mistreat those “cold feet” moments, using tactics that backfire and actually deepen indecision, making it far less likely the buyer ever gets to a decision.
