# How to Qualify a Deal Using MEDDPICC

[MEDDPICC](https://meddpicc.net/) is the qualification framework used by the world's highest-performing enterprise [SaaS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service) sales teams. It stands for Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Criteria, Decision Process, Identify Pain, [Champion](https://www.linkedin.com/learning/influencing-the-decision-maker-with-sales-champions/what-is-a-champion), and [Competition](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sales-competition-why-matters-how-shapes-business-george-kamotho-uz93f). Each element represents a dimension of deal qualification — a specific piece of information that must be established before a deal can be considered genuinely qualified.

The power of MEDDPICC is in its completeness. Most qualification frameworks focus on a subset of what determines deal outcomes — the pain, the budget, the decision-maker. MEDDPICC covers all of them, and adds the dimensions that most frameworks miss: the specific process through which the decision gets made, the internal champion without whom the deal cannot advance, and the competitive context in which the evaluation is happening.

A deal that scores well against MEDDPICC is a deal the rep understands. A deal that scores poorly against MEDDPICC is a deal the rep is hoping will work out — and hope is not a forecast.

## M — Metrics: Quantify the Business Impact

**What it is:** The quantified financial or operational impact of the problem.

**Why it matters:** Without quantified metrics, there’s no business case; the purchase is discretionary.

**How to establish it:** Confirm their actual baseline numbers and calculate impact.

## E — Economic Buyer: Identify and Engage the Budget Owner

**What it is:** The person who can approve budget and make the “yes” stick.

**Why it matters:** Deals that never reach the EB don’t close.

**How to establish it:** Identify the EB by name/title and secure direct engagement.

## D — Decision Criteria: Map What They're Evaluating Against

**What it is:** The explicit criteria the buying committee will use.

**Why it matters:** You can’t influence criteria you don’t know.

**How to establish it:** Ask for the scorecard and confirm weighting.

## D — Decision Process: Map How the Decision Gets Made

**What it is:** The steps, owners, order, and durations from now to signature.

**Why it matters:** Unmapped process = imaginary close date.

**How to establish it:** Build a shared timeline including paper process.

## I — Identify Pain: Establish the Specific, Acute Problem

**What it is:** Specific pain described in their words, confirmed at EB level, acute enough to act now.

**Qualification levels:** Level 1 acknowledge, Level 2 impact, Level 3 quantified + EB confirmed.

## C — Champion: Develop the Internal Advocate

**What it is:** A person with power + personal stake + willingness to advocate.

**Champion tests:** inside info, EB access, surfacing objections, spending political capital, articulating business case without you.

## C — [Competition](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sales-competition-why-matters-how-shapes-business-george-kamotho-uz93f): Understand the Competitive Landscape

**What it is:** Who else is being evaluated and where you stand.

**Why it matters:** No competitive context = surprise loss.

**How to establish it:** Name competitors, identify their strengths, plan positioning.

## The MEDDPICC Scoring Model

Score each element 0–2 (0 not established, 1 partial, 2 fully). Max 16; commit ≥ 12.

## How Brazn Applies MEDDPICC Automatically

Brazn extracts MEDDPICC evidence from call transcripts and emails, scores each element objectively, and updates the score after every interaction—flagging at-risk deals early.
