In sales, the worst thing you can hear from a customer isn’t “no.” It’s “I need to think about it.” When this happens, deeply entrenched business advice says to double down on your efforts to sell a buyer on all the ways they might win by choosing you and your business. But this approach backfires dramatically. Why? Because it completely gets wrong the primary driver behind purchasing decision-making: once purchase intent is established, customers no longer care about succeeding. What they really care about is not failing.

I could write a separate novel on the takeaways of this book. But it is a game changer.
Start at the beginning obviously, but Chapter 5 is filled with insight. I didn’t realize I was already doing many of these behaviors.
I sell complex ERP and have a deal I am closing this month at 100kARR. Ive been doing what I do for a while (SME) and always been a subscriber to Challenger, but the dynamics and flow of this deal was text book exactly how the book describes the Jolt Seller. Never heard that articulated. The close was one if the easiest and most natural processes Ive worked on big or small. I also gained other new tools.
The explanation of injecting fear into a fearful process like incentive expirations and pressure tactics are why clients end up doing nothing. The salesperson is shooting their own foot. Looking forward to using these to up my close ratio.
