Pros

MEDDIC Playbook company KPI driven mindset You don’t get punished on negative bookings

Cons

For a sales person it’s most important to earn your commission and get your rewards. I learned that for this companythe most important things Is how to squeeze out the most revenue by paying no or less commission. The chances to make your quota are limited. Only 1-3 out of 30 make their number.
