About the programme
Course Overview
Enterprise sales cycles fail less often because of a weak product and more often because a deal was never properly qualified, leaving sellers chasing opportunities that were never going to close on the forecast timeline. This course trains enterprise account executives, sales managers and revenue operations staff to apply the MEDDPICC framework rigorously across the full sales cycle: metrics, economic buyer, decision criteria, decision process, paper process, identified pain, champion and competition. Participants learn to quantify a prospect's metrics into a business case the economic buyer will act on, map decision criteria and decision process before proposals are written, and identify and develop a genuine internal champion rather than a helpful contact. The course covers competitive positioning within the framework, navigating a customer's paper process and procurement requirements, and using MEDDPICC scores to run honest forecast and pipeline reviews. Teaching combines deal review workshops using real opportunity scenarios, champion development role play and forecast calibration exercises, so participants leave able to qualify and forecast enterprise deals with discipline.
