BANT is a great start.
But for complex, high-value B2B deals — you need something more powerful.
You need MEDDICC.
MEDDICC is the qualification framework used by the world's best enterprise sales teams. And once you understand it, you'll never look at a deal the same way again.
𝗠 — 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀
What is the quantifiable business impact of your solution? If you can't show the numbers, you can't justify the investment.
𝗘 — 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿
Who controls the budget? This is often not who you're talking to. Find them. Engage them.
𝗗 — 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮
What does the prospect use to evaluate and compare solutions? Know their scorecard.
𝗗 — 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀
How do they buy? Who else is involved? What are the steps from here to signed contract?
𝗜 — 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻
What is the specific, costly problem your solution solves? Not a general challenge — a pain with a price tag.
𝗖 — 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻
Who inside the organisation wants you to win? Your champion sells for you when you're not in the room. Without one — you're flying blind.
𝗖 — 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Who else are they talking to? What are you up against? Know the landscape.
