There often comes a point in deals when it’s best for all parties to go their separate ways. Today, Antonella O’Day joins Rachel to discuss the key indicators that you should walk away from a deal and how to do so tactfully. She talks about:

Evaluating whether or not you can be successful in solving the customer’s problems.
The number one reason why deals stall.
The importance of tangible Customer Verifiable Outcomes to indicate the customer’s interest throughout the deal.
Using the letters of MEDDICC to gauge your progress in a deal.
Walking away from a deal on terms that leave the door open for future engagements.
