What Causes Deal Drag?
Deal Drag is the hidden force slowing your sales cycle — lots of motion but little real movement toward closing. It's caused by:
Missing Buying Committee Members
When key decision-makers haven't been engaged in the sales process.
Framework Gaps
Critical elements of MEDDPIC, BANT, or SPICED that haven't been addressed.
Stale Contact Engagement
When key contacts haven't been engaged recently or are showing declining involvement.
Activity Without Progress
Lots of meetings and emails but no advancement in the buying process or purchase criteria.
