During the course “ Introduction to MEDDIC ” at MEDDIC Academy , I explain that there is no such thing as the MEDDIC sales process (or the MEDDPICC Sales process ).

This makes B2B sales training more important than ever.

Despite this, in nearly all buyer surveys you see in large B2B transactions price seldom makes the top five.
