40-60% of opportunities in your team’s forecast will be lost to “no decision.” Of those, 44% will be lost because the seller failed to overcome the buyer’s tolerance for a “good enough” solution to the problem. (Source: DCM Insights).

In this session, we’ll cover the concept of Cost of Inaction (COI), a methodical approach that shifts focus from selling “better” to revealing the hidden risks and costs associated with maintaining the current solution.

Unlike fear-based tactics, COI offers an objective perspective that encourages prospects to re-evaluate their current state before considering a change.

Key takeaways:

  • How sharing “what good looks like” impacts your reps performance. 
  • A step-by-step approach to building your own Cost of Inaction story for your team. 
  • How and where to use COI and ROI across the sales cycle.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your sales leadership approach and empower your team to engage prospects more effectively. Join us and learn how to leverage COI to influence buyer decisions and propel your sales efforts forward.
