Overview of The JOLT Effect

The JOLT Effect reveals why 40-60% of deals stall from customer indecision, not disinterest. Backed by 2.5 million sales conversations, this game-changer flips conventional wisdom: fear of wrong choices - not FOMO - drives purchasing decisions. Dan Heath calls it "fresh, evidence-based, and PRACTICAL."

The Psychology Behind Stalled Sales: It's Not What You Think

When a sale stalls, conventional wisdom points to customer resistance to change. But groundbreaking research from Matthew Dixon and Ted McKenna reveals a surprising truth: the biggest obstacle isn't customers' love of the status quo-it's their fear of making the wrong decision. Analyzing millions of AI-processed sales conversations, they discovered that 56% of deals lost to "no decision" involve customers who actually want to change but simply can't pull the trigger. This insight has transformed how industry giants like Salesforce and Microsoft approach sales. The psychology is simple yet profound: humans fear errors of commission (making a wrong choice) far more than errors of omission (failing to act). Nobel Prize winners Kahneman and Tversky demonstrated we value avoiding losses 2-3 times more than securing equivalent gains. In sales terms? Customers would rather miss out on $10 million in benefits than actively make a decision that costs their company $10 million. The emotional calculus is clear: messing up feels worse than missing out.
