"First MEDDPICC workshop at Softcat: Key takeaways and future plans"

Frameworks like MEDDPICC aren’t just for AEs closing seven-figure deals - they’re the navigation system for SDRs too. Think of it like flying a plane. A pilot wouldn’t take off without knowing their instruments, altitude, and route. Yet so many SDRs “fly blind” when prospecting, chasing meetings without understanding the real signals behind a qualified opportunity. Here’s how to fly with precision: Metrics - know what measurable impact you’re promising Economic Buyer - identify who’s truly in control of the landing strip Champion - find the co-pilot who wants you to arrive safely When you apply MEDDPICC early, every outreach, every conversation, every meeting becomes deliberate. It’s the difference between hoping for clear skies and plotting your exact route. How many SDRs here are still flying on instinct instead of instruments? #Sales #SDR #BDR #SalesLeadership #SalesEnablement #PipelineGeneration

Are you correctly mapping the Decision Process in MEDDPICC? Steal Steve Myers's checklist: - Who makes the call (and who can kill it?) - What are the steps (and why those steps?) - When does each part happen (what’s the actual timeline?) - Where does power sit (HQ or regional?) - Why is this process in place (what are they protecting?) - How does a “yes” become a signed contract? If you don’t know this... You don’t know your deal. Read more in our #MEDDPICC blog series here: https://lnkd.in/dEKHncbY #sales #salescoaching

Anatomy of a $1.2 Million Deal — Using MEDDPICC to Win Against Giants A few years ago, in the middle of the COVID pandemic, my small team and I closed a $1.2M, 3-year SaaS subscription with a Fortune 100 company — against large incumbents, global chaos, and remote-only selling. It took months of research, patience, and flawless collaboration. I give full credit to my team, my mentors, and the customer who trusted a smaller company to deliver big. What made the biggest difference? I turned to MEDDPICC — a structured way to think, plan, and execute every move in a complex enterprise deal. The slides below break down each element of MEDDPICC and how we applied it — from identifying pain during COVID to navigating multi-department approvals and winning against legacy players. I hope this helps other sales professionals build confidence in their own long, complex pursuits. 🔽 Swipe through to see the anatomy of the deal, step by step.

Ever lost a deal? Yeah… it stings. 😬 The easiest thing to do is blame external factors, but the reality is, it’s worth reflecting on what 𝙮𝙤𝙪 could’ve done differently. Andy Whyte shares a deal he lost because he didn’t influence the Decision Criteria well. At the time, he treated MEDDPICC like an X-ray tool 🩻 ... Only able to spot the problem 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 it happened, instead of proactively shaping the customer’s criteria around his strengths. Just because you may have the best solution for your prospect doesn’t mean they’ll know it. You need to show them! Remember, Not All MEDDIC Is Equal #NAMIE 💬 Watch the full story, and share your own deal-loss lessons below. ❓ What do you/ would you do differently next time? #DecisionCriiteria #MEDDIC #SalesSuccess #DealReview

Sticking to a sales framework across your organization is more important than you might think. 💡It: - Creates accountability 👀 - Pushes for organization alignment 🤝🏻 - Sparks more consistent results 🏁 However, telling your team “We’re using MEDDPICC” and actually building out a rollout plan yield two very different results. Today on the Pod blog, we’ve got a 90-day plan broken down into simple steps, so your ideal framework goes from concept to process. Check it out! 🎉

As a founder, choosing a sales methodology isn’t religion; it’s situational engineering. When I stack MEDDICC, MEDDPICC, and SPICED side by side, the trade-off is clarity vs. speed. MEDDICC gives me crisp qualification. MEDDPICC forces me to de-risk the admin gauntlet and competitors. SPICED keeps discovery human and momentum high. We now open complex cycles with a MEDDPICC checklist, then run discovery using SPICED prompts to surface impact and decision dynamics. Result: fewer end-of-quarter stalls and shorter time-to-value. What combo has actually moved your win rate, not just your vocabulary?  #SalesMethodology #MEDDICC #SPICED #B2BSales #RevenueLeadership

Many successful frameworks aren't original, they're a result of evolution. For example: MEDDPICC, the B2B sales qualification that I spoke about in a previous post, evolved twice from its original ancestor. In 1996, Dick Dunkel in PTC founded the MEDDIC sales qualification methodology. The initials stood for: Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Criteria, Decision Process, Identify Pain, & Champion. As competition intensified, a C was added to symbolize it, thus transforming the name into MEDDICC. Later on, as paperwork got complicated due to overregulation, a P was added to account for it, and this is how MEDDPICC emerged. The moral is: Adaptation and flexibility are the key to becoming the ultimate player in the market (or in this case, the ultimate tool in the toolkit).
