MEDDIC Checklist Skill

When to Use

• Preparing for discovery or validation calls to ensure all MEDDIC elements are captured.

• Reviewing calls for deal inspection or forecast commits.

• Coaching reps on multi-threading and qualification rigor.

Framework

• Metrics – quantify current/target KPIs and business outcomes.

• Economic Buyer – identify budget owner, influence level, and access plan.

• Decision Criteria – capture technical, commercial, security requirements.

• Decision Process – map steps, stakeholders, procurement/legal milestones.

• Implications – articulate business pain, urgency, and impact of inaction.

• Champion – assess strength, influence, and next actions to reinforce support.

Templates

• Call note table with MEDDIC columns + status (captured/missing/risk).

• Deal inspection dashboard snippet showing coverage per opportunity.

• Coaching worksheet for reps/managers.

Tips

• Update after every major call; keep color coding consistent (green/yellow/red).

• Tie each MEDDIC gap to a specific next step.

• Pair with call-analysis-framework outputs to ensure evidence is captured.
