How Top Sellers Use JOLT to Win Over the Most Hesitant Buyers

There’s nothing more inspiring than seeing theory put into practice. Across industries, top sellers are using the JOLT method to turn the toughest, most indecisive prospects into enthusiastic customers. Take the hospital rep who, after weeks of endless requests for more references and pilots, realized the deal was going nowhere. Instead of wasting more time, she shifted her focus to a smaller, more decisive client—and won the fastest deal of her year. Or the IT consultant who, seeing a customer drowning in choices, stepped in with a clear, confident recommendation. The relief on the customer’s face said it all: someone finally understood what they needed.



Then there’s the SaaS seller who offered a skeptical customer a no-risk pilot program. The result? Not only did the customer sign on, but they became an advocate, referring new business and expanding the partnership. These stories aren’t just feel-good anecdotes—they’re proof that empathy, discernment, and the courage to guide are the keys to modern sales success.

Want to create your own success story? Start by listening for the real fears behind indecision, then use the JOLT method to guide, reassure, and support. The results speak for themselves: shorter sales cycles, higher win rates, and customers who stick around for the long haul. 1 3
