In this episode of MEDMEN, it’s all about the channel. Andy and Pim explain why MEDDPICC is ideal as a common language to cosell with your partners.

But it actually goes further than that. When we’re working with another party on a mutual outcome, it’s also important to think about how we sell ourselves to our partners, because we want them to be able to do their best in representing us to other relevant parties.

Tune into this episode to learn more about how you can use MEDDPICC in your partner engagements, all while always thinking about delivering value, engaging with the right stakeholders, and staying on top of the process.

In this episode of MEDMEN, Andy and Pim talk about how you can use MEDDPICC to have the world’s greatest handover from sales to Customer Success, and avoid just throwing the deal over the fence.

The MEDMEN touch on how everyone is responsible for a successful handover - it’s not just on CS to maintain relationships.

Andy and Pim also explain how sales and Customer Success teams can use Metrics to not only convey the value that can be gained by your solution (with M1s) but to set goals of value to be achieved.

After all, a seamless handover is what you need to set yourself up for success when it comes to renewals!

The M in MEDDPICC stands for Marketing in this episode of MEDMEN as Andy and Pim are joined by MEDDICC CMO, Jessica Walker.

A recurring theme at MEDMEN studios is the power of MEDDPICC as a common language across the whole Go to Market team. So, it was about time we walked the walk as well as talking the talk, and show how marketing can use MEDDPICC to communicate with sales, product, and the wider team at large. As Andy puts it: when sales and marketing speak the same language, they’re working from the same dataset.

Jessica explains the impact MEDDPICC can have for marketing teams, and in particular how using Metrics has transformed the way she approaches use-cases, because the value provided is made much more concrete.

With MEDDIC, your mindset is essential. It isn’t about box-ticking, but truly about understanding your differentiator, the value you can bring to the table, and how MEDDIC can help you achieve that.

When it comes to selling open-source solutions, at MEDDICC we have some personal experience. That’s why for this episode of MEDMEN, Andy and Pim tackle the question: can MEDDIC be used when selling with an open source solution?

Yes, you just need to shift your mindset. The main obstacle sellers encounter here is overcoming the delta of selling a “free” solution – which is where professional selling steps in.

Together, Andy and Pim shine a light on how you can use MEDDIC to determine what it is about the solution that the open source platform doesn’t provide – and how you can illustrate that for your customer.

No matter the size of the customer, you should still bring your A-game to each engagement.

That’s the main takeaway of this episode of MEDMEN, where Andy and Pim answer the question: is MEDDPICC still relevant if you sell to smaller businesses? The short answer is yes!

The way you use MEDDPICC might change in relation to the complexity of your deals, but professional selling is professional selling, regardless of deal size.

Having shorter engagements does not mean you should be less precious with your time – if anything, you need to be more so. Tune into this episode to learn more about how you can use MEDDPICC to efficiently manage your time in engagements with small businesses.
