# Enterprise Deals

## Overview

Enterprise deals involve more people, more process, and more risk sensitivity. Success requires multi-threading, political map awareness, and patience with formal gates.

## When to Use

- Large ACV opportunities
- Deals involving security, legal, and procurement
- Multi-department buying centers
- Long evaluation and approval cycles

## Core Practices

- Map the organization: users, champions, economic buyers, blockers
- Multi-thread early; don’t rely on one contact
- Engage security and legal before they become last-minute blockers
- Build executive alignment on business outcomes
- Use mutual action plans for process control
- Prepare for procurement playbooks and RFPs

## Principles

- Access to power is a leading indicator
- Process risk is as real as product risk
- Executive sponsors change deal gravity
- Enterprise success includes implementation realism

## Verification

- [ ] Multiple stakeholders are engaged, not one hero contact
- [ ] Security/legal path is known and underway
- [ ] Economic buyer relationship exists or is actively pursued
