Nudge®
Buyer Progressionthe new unit of truth

Stop measuring sellers.
Start measuring buyers.

Your CRM tracks what your reps did. That isn't your deal. The deal is whether the buyer actually moved this week — and Nudge is the only score for it.

The measurement gap

Activity isn't progression.

A deal only moves when the buyer does.

How Nudge works

Detect. Force. Verify.

01 · DETECT

Detect ambiguity.

Score every active deal on what the buyer has actually done — not on what the rep has logged. Gaps surface before the slip.

decision_processunclear

02 · FORCE

Force the decision.

No deal advances without a yes, a no, or a not-now — with an owner and a date. Nudge drafts the exact ask, blocks soft stage progression.

03 · VERIFY

Verify the buyer moved.

Reconcile every deal into one of three truths: buyer moved, seller-only, or stalled. Forecast becomes earned, not asserted.

The product

One place to see if buyers are moving.

Nudge reads your CRM, meetings, emails, calendar, and transcripts, then turns the noise into one operational loop: spot the gap, open the deal, send the next move.

Why we can help.

Three reasons this works on your pipeline, not just in a deck.

  1. 01Pattern

    We've watched 1,000+ deals stall the same way.

    About 63.8% of post-demo deals slip because the buyer never really moved — only the seller did. Nudge was built on that pattern, not on best practices.

  2. 02Loop

    We close the loop your CRM and Gong can't.

    Revenue intel shows where the deal is weak. Nudge forces the next move and verifies whether the buyer actually moved — then writes the truth back.

  3. 03Fit

    We don't ask reps to change.

    Nudge reads the systems they already use — HubSpot or Salesforce, calendar, email, Slack. Five-day deploy. No new dashboard, no new ritual.

For CROs and VPs of Sales

Bring 5 deals. We'll show you which are real.

A 30-minute working session with a Nudge founder. We score your top opportunities on buyer progression, surface the gaps your CRM can't see, and tell you which deals are real, recoverable, or already lost.

Our point of view

Every system of record measured the seller. The next one measures the buyer.

Every era of selling got a better system of record for what sellers do — the Rolodex, the CRM, then conversation intelligence to capture what was said. Each one sharpened our side of the table and left the buyer's side dark.

We think the next decade belongs to the other side. Not more seller activity in more detail — a live read on whether the buyer is actually moving. Buyer motion is the signal the entire revenue stack has been missing, and it's about to become the one that decides who wins.

The teams that win the next ten years won't be the ones making the most calls. They'll be the ones who can see, before anyone else, which buyers are moving — and act before the deal decides itself.

The evidence

It isn't just our conviction. The industry has measured the same gap for years.

17%of total buyer time is spent with all vendors combined

Why do deals stall when the pipeline looks full?

Pipeline measures seller activity, not buyer motion. B2B buyers spend just 17% of their total purchase time meeting with all potential suppliers — most of the journey happens where your CRM can't see.

Gartner · The B2B Buying Journey
40–60%of qualified deals end in no decision

What actually kills most qualified deals?

Indecision, not rejection. 40–60% of qualified deals end in "no decision" — and 56% of those losses come from customer indecision, not a preference for the status quo.

Dixon & McKenna · The JOLT Effect · 2.5M+ sales calls
7%of sales orgs forecast revenue within 5%

Why are sales forecasts so often wrong?

They're built on activity, not buyer progression. Only about 7% of sales organizations forecast revenue within 5% — even two weeks before quarter-end.

Gartner
28%of a rep's week is actual selling

Why doesn't my CRM already show this?

Reps spend only about 28% of their time selling, and most calls, emails, and meetings never get logged. The buyer signals that predict the deal fall through the cracks — the gap Nudge closes.

Salesforce · State of Sales
Why we built Nudge

Sales has spent twenty years measuring the wrong thing. Activity dashboards, call counts, "touches" — an entire industry built to track how busy your reps are. It's theater. No deal has ever closed because a seller was busy.

Your CRM is a diary of things your team did, not a record of whether the buyer moved. Gong tells you what was said on the call. Neither answers the only question that matters: is the buyer walking toward a decision, or quietly walking away?

So we stopped measuring sellers. Nudge measures buyer motion and tells your team the truth — even when the truth is "this one's already dead." No extra logging. No dashboard to ignore. We close the loop your CRM and Gong can't.

Stop measuring sellers. Start measuring buyers.
Detect. Force. Verify.
