Rational brain · Negotiation & Sales Frames

MEDDPICC Framework

A qualification checklist — Metrics, Economic buyer, Decision criteria and process, Paper process, Pain, Champion, Competition — mapping how a buyer decides; buyers can use it to see themselves being steered.

An everyday example

A vendor who knows your approval chain, your budget owner and your internal champion better than you do.

What it can cost you

Being mapped without knowing it; a 'champion' inside your organisation working the vendor's plan.

Warning signs

  • The vendor knows my org chart better than I do.
  • My colleague is running the vendor's playbook.

One thing to do

Map your own process first and share it deliberately; know who your champion is talking to and what they have been promised.
