For anyone looking to master #Sales πŸ‘‰ see the MEDDPICC framework

A checklist of what you need to know, to do, and people you need to be friends with to win a deal

Key points for those in a hurry πŸ‘‡
1/
Metrics πŸ“ˆ

a) Convince prospects with real numbers to buy your product

b) Understand the financial impact of those levers today & show your prospects how your solution can move those levers tomorrow

c) Map every lever & the percentage of improvement your solution can bring
2/
Economic buyer πŸ’°

a) Identify who can spend money, who has budget, who can CREATE budget, and who can sign the contract

b) Meet this person early in the process and understand their vision

c) Don't ignore others, just ensure you share findings with your buyer
3/
Decision criteria πŸ€”

a) Find out what features/functionality is on your prospect’s wish list: 🚨know what gets your buyer excited 🚨

b) β€œIf I could wave a magic wand, what would you want out of a new solution?”

c) Use this opportunity to call out product differentiation
4/
Decision process 🀝

Understand your prospect's decision making process and agree a journey to walk together
5/
Paper process ✍️

a) Understand how long your prospect's internal process takes, who is reviewing, and what the roadblocks are

b) Business process is not equal to legal process
6/
Identify pain πŸ€’

a) Dig deep to understand the reasons behind a prospect's pain; don't settle for surface level answers

b) Don't present your solution or do a demo without identifying their pain
7/
Champions πŸ˜‡

Find your internal champion and foster the relationship to undercover the internal map to success
8/
Competition πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Best advice I got in 2020 was from @parulia at our friends @fcollective written by @araskin on a skill every entrepreneur must master

Focus on emotion and vision to create a great #Sales deck. Provide prospects with magic gifts to help them reach the promised land

Summary πŸ‘‡
1/
Name a Big, Relevant Change in the 🌍

1. Don’t kick off by talking about your product

2. Name an undeniable shift in the world to create urgency

3. You will grab attention without putting prospects on the defensive
2/
Show there will be winners and losers

Combat loss aversion by demonstrating how adapting to this change will make the prospect a big winner; and a big loser if they don’t
