Sometimes you almost wish they would just say no. At least if they told you no, you could move on to other opportunities. Unfortunately, in today’s challenging economy, buyers are delaying decisions longer than ever before. Extended sales cycles mean more time and effort on your part, but lower sales performance is all you get for the extra effort. If only you could make it clear how valuable your solution is. If only you could show your prospects how much their delay is harming them, they would gladly move forward with your solution. Between the competition and uncertainty, there just doesn’t appear to be any way to differentiate yourself and move the ball across the goal line. Why don’t they get it!!??
Buyer’s delay decisions for several reasons:
- They have no criteria by which to make the right choice, so they default to making no decision at all
- They believe there is a high probability the deal will get better, so they delay in the hopes of securing a more attractive alternative
- The pain of parting with their money outweighs the pleasure of the impact of our solution
