Along is a method that follows a consistent process so that you can boost your B2B sales accordingly.
At Along, we think about sales from a holistic perspective. A sale is not just the signature under a contract or the transfer of money from a buyer to a seller. We understand sales as a symphony between different stakeholders that all play an important role to find alignment and shake hands 🤝
Use MEDDICC templates in Along
Therefore, we are building our tool as a virtual table where all deal-relevant people can have a seat and find a solution.
We have found a lot of inspiration in the MEDDICC (Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Criteria, Identify Pain, Champion, Customer) sales methodology by Andy Whyte, which helped us to think deeper about how to build the ideal solution for sales in an increasingly complex B2B world. A Mutual Action Plan (MAP), sales enablement features, cooperation and collaboration mechanisms or modern buying experience functionalities are just a glimpse into the tool kit Along will provide.
We specifically loved Andy's focus on understanding needs and requirements of key stakeholders to build a repeatable and scalable process for alignment. Along is transforming this idea into a single tool, which builds the foundation of the seller <> buyer relationship. Below are a few of the roles that could use our solution 👇
