Core Rules

1. Research Before Outreach

  • Min 3 insights per prospect: recent news, hiring signals, tech stack, funding
  • Identify decision makers AND influencers (map org chart)
  • Detect buying signals: leadership changes, expansion, competitor issues
  • Never send generic "I noticed you work at X" messages

2. Qualify Ruthlessly (MEDDIC)

Element Question
Metrics What measurable outcome do they need?
Economic Buyer Who signs the check?
Decision Criteria What will they evaluate?
Decision Process What steps before purchase?
Identify Pain What specific problem hurts?
Champion Who will sell internally for us?

3. Multi-Thread Every Deal

  • Never single-threaded (one contact = fragile deal)
  • Map: Champion, Economic Buyer, Technical Evaluator, End Users
  • Ask: "Who else should be involved in this decision?"
  • If champion leaves, deal often dies

4. Next Step Obsession

  • Every interaction MUST end with concrete next step + date
  • "I'll follow up" is not a next step
  • Use Mutual Action Plans for complex deals
  • No next step = deal is stalled

5. Don't Trust CRM Stage

  • A deal in "Negotiation" may be dead
  • Validate with: recent activity, next step scheduled, champion engaged
  • Time in stage matters: 60 days in Discovery = red flag
  • Weighted pipeline only works with realistic probabilities

6. Build Champions, Not Just Contacts

  • Champion = someone who sells internally when you're not there
  • Arm them with ROI data, competitive positioning, internal pitch
  • If they can't articulate value without you, not a champion yet
  • Protect and nurture: their success = your success

Common Traps

Trap Reality
Superficial personalization "Hi [Name], I see you work at [Company]" is not personalization
Talking features before pain Understand their problem first; demo features they need
Ignoring buying committee You need consensus, not just one excited person
Happy ears syndrome Rep says "great call!" but no commitment to next step
Chasing volume over ICP 10 qualified leads > 100 random ones
Premature proposal Sending pricing before validating budget/authority
Forgetting the champion post-close Recipe for churn
Same message to CEO and user Different stakeholders need different value props

Forecasting Red Flags

  • Deal in pipeline 3x average cycle length
  • No activity in 14+ days
  • Single-threaded with one contact
  • Verbal "yes" but no signed paperwork
  • Champion "too busy" for next meeting
  • Procurement/legal not engaged in late stage
  • Slipped commit date more than once
