Poor Discovery
Missing real decision-makers, stakeholders, technical needs, and budget validation
Common Advice:
"Just use MEDDIC" or "Follow the discovery checklist"
What Actually Works:
Document a specific next step for each interaction. If you can't, you haven't discovered enough. Match each technical requirement to a business impact. No impact = no real requirement.
Value Misalignment
Weak ROI articulation, feature-focused pitches, poor competitive differentiation
Common Advice:
"Focus on value not features" or "Build a strong ROI case"
What Actually Works:
Start with their strategic initiatives, not your deck. Map each feature demo to a specific pain point. Use "This means..." after every capability shown to connect dots.
Process Execution
Slow responses, inconsistent follow-up, weak POC management
Common Advice:
"Stay organized" or "Use your CRM religiously"
What Actually Works:
Create mutual action plans with specific owner and date for each item. No date = no plan. No owner = no accountability.
Technical Concerns
Integration complexity, security requirements, resource needs unaddressed
Common Advice:
"Get technical validation early" or "Involve solutions engineering"
What Actually Works:
Document integration concerns as business risks, not technical problems. Frame security requirements as trust-building opportunities.
Weak Champions
Poor relationship building, limited executive engagement, insufficient references
Common Advice:
"Build multiple relationships" or "Get executive sponsorship"
What Actually Works:
Give champions internal presentation materials. Help them sell when you're not there. Make them look good to their leadership.
Business Case Gaps
Unclear value quantification, incomplete success metrics, poor risk mitigation
Common Advice:
"Calculate ROI" or "Show the numbers"
What Actually Works:
Build the business case with them, not for them. Their numbers = their commitment. Use past challenges as ROI proof points.
Resource Coordination
Poor technical team alignment, missing implementation planning, unclear support
Common Advice:
"Get everyone involved early" or "Plan for implementation"
What Actually Works:
Map specific names to each implementation phase. Create joint resource calendars. Define escalation paths before signing.
