Matt Dixon and Ted McKenna are Co-Founders of DCM Insights and also Co-Authors of The Jolt Effect: How High Performers Overcome Customer Indecision. Even when a customer thinks your solution is great, they could still worry about messing up the purchase.

Matt and Ted share their insights on the 3 things customers are afraid of messing up that lead to a no-decision. They also discuss the status quo being an influential factor in the whole process. The duo then share advice on limiting the overindulgence of customer information requests.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

"No decision" is the decision to stick with the status quo - Matt: "Challengers are actually very good at showing the customer the pain of same is actually worse than the pain of change. They're very good at breaking the hold that the status quo has on the customer and we know that hold is very powerful."

Indecision is a very human problem and it isn't a new thing - Ted: "I think the question is how have we dealt with it. It existed in the mind of buyers but sellers more often than not would misinterpret that as always a status quo problem where we have one hammer and every problem is a nail that I'm just looking to keep going back to."
