This is a masterclass in software sales and tech sales with John McMahon, the legendary CRO and creator of MEDDICC. He is interviewed by Jiri Siklar, founder of the Software Sales Formula. If you're in software sales or tech sales and want to understand how to actually use MEDDICC and MEDDPICC to win more deals, this episode is for you. In this no-BS conversation, John breaks down the real reason most software sales teams fail, why MEDDICC is misunderstood, and how to use MEDDICC like a GPS—not a checklist. Whether you're an SDR, AE, or sales leader, you'll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to qualify deals, scale your pipeline, and lead with process and discipline.
