Methodology
MEDDPICC is how I know a deal is real.
Enterprise SaaS and PaaS cycles are long, multi-stakeholder, and easy to misjudge. MEDDPICC gives structure to discovery, forecasting, and the internal value case a champion has to make without you in the room — eight disciplines applied to every complex deal I run.
Metrics
Quantifying the value case before it's asked for — tying every deal to the economic outcome a buyer needs to defend internally, not just the product's features.
Economic Buyer
Identifying and engaging the person who actually controls budget — built through direct C-suite and VP-level relationships across CMOs, Heads of Global Content, and Localization Directors.
Decision Criteria
Mapping the formal and informal criteria a buying committee will judge against, and shaping them early rather than reacting to them late.
Decision Process
Understanding procurement, security review, and legal sign-off as part of the sale itself — multi-threaded, not left until the end of the cycle.
Paper Process
Getting ahead of contracting and legal friction with mutual action plans, so paperwork never becomes the reason a closed deal stalls.
Identify Pain
Structured discovery that surfaces the real operational cost of the status quo — the pain that justifies change, not just interest in a demo.
Champion
Building internal champions who carry the value case forward when you're not in the room — the difference between a stalled deal and a closed one.
Competition
Clear-eyed positioning against alternatives — including the status quo — informed by up-to-date knowledge of competitor and market landscape.
In practice
Not a form. A qualification discipline.
Discovery
Structured conversations that surface real operational pain and quantify it — before a value case is ever presented.
Value case
Metrics and decision criteria mapped to the economic buyer's own internal justification, not a generic ROI slide.
Procurement
Decision process, paper process, and champion engagement run in parallel with security review and legal — not after it.
