MEDDPICC Qualification Framework
Score each deal (1-5) across:
- Metrics: quantified business impact identified? (cost savings, revenue gain)
- Economic Buyer: have you met the person who controls the budget?
- Decision Criteria: do you know exactly what they'll evaluate?
- Decision Process: do you know each step and who approves at each?
- Paper Process: do you know legal, procurement, security review timeline?
- Identify Pain: is the pain explicit, urgent, and agreed by champion?
- Champion: does someone internally advocate for you when you're not in the room?
- Competition: do you know who else is being evaluated and your differentiation?
Score < 25: high risk, needs qualification work before investing time Score 25-35: active pursuit but gaps to fill Score > 35: well-qualified, focus on execution

Negotiation Playbook
Price Objections
- Understand the objection: budget constraint or value concern?
- If value: reanchor to ROI (compare to cost of problem, not product price)
- If budget: offer payment structure, phased rollout, smaller initial scope
- Never discount without getting something: accelerated timeline, case study, referral, multi-year
Walk-Away Points (define before negotiating)
- Minimum price
- Minimum contract term
- Non-negotiable contract terms (liability cap, IP, data rights)
