Description
Most sellers think they lose deals to a better competitor. Charlotte Lloyd says the real winner is usually no decision at all, and it happens because nobody ever priced out what staying the same costs. She and Chris get into the difference between ROI and COI, the cost of inaction, then run it live: Chris plays a small business owner leaking money on an unfilled $5,000 retreat, and Charlotte walks him from a vague complaint to an agreed $20,000 a month problem before she says a word about her offer. Chris pushes back on how long she takes to get there, and that disagreement is the sharpest part of the episode. If you keep getting ghosted after you send the proposal, this one's for you.
