Your phone charger is frayed and bent. Wires exposed, you twist it slightly to the right and balance your phone just so to get it to charge. A new cord has been on your list for weeks, but let’s be honest, the situation isn’t quite urgent enough for you to hit “buy now.” It’s still charging, isn’t it? Until it isn’t. This strange habit of putting something off until it’s truly broken isn’t a personality flaw—it’s just human nature. And according to Hannah Ajikawo, CEO and Founder of Revenue Funnel, it exists in modern sales, too. Getting today’s B2B buyers to convert before things crash and burn is incredibly tough, but that’s what sellers should reach for.
