The Challenger Sale and Jolt Effect with Matt Dixon
Sponsored by TrackableMed Did you know that 40-60% of the average sales pipeline stalls out due to not moving forward? Author of The Challenger Sale Matt Dixon calls these no-decision losses. And they plague sales teams the world over, which is why he’s back with new research and a new book sharing what the best sellers do to overcome this problem. Matt Dixon is the Founding Partner of DCM Insights, and co-author of four of the most important sales and customer experience books of the past twenty years, including The Challenger Sale and his latest book, The JOLT Effect: How High Performers Overcome Customer Indecision.

In this episode, we also discuss: The 3 ways to revisit the status quo objection The Pain of Same vs The Pain of Change Error of Omission vs Error of Co-mission How FOMO tactics actually backfire in certain cases The two drivers of no-decision losses Shifting from a salesperson to a buyer’s agent Resources from this episode: Get the free MedTech Talk Tracks for Action The Jolt Effect: How High Performers Overcome Customer Indecision The Challenger Sale Social Media: Connect with Matt on LinkedIn Connect with Zed on LinkedIn Connect with Clark on LinkedIn
