Stuck deals are arguably the biggest problem in sales. Depending on the industry, between 40-60% of all sales are lost to no-decision. The implications are staggering. This fact means that the problem of stuck deals and "no-decision" effectively doubles the cost of every sale, and wastes somewhere around one-half of every sales professional's time. The good news, is that if we can unstick our deals (or even better, prevent them from sticking in the first place) we can effectively double our sales, dramatically shorten our sales cycles, and double our commissions.
