Andy Sadler on Building True Champions | Masters of MEDDICC
- Master the fundamentals. Like football, sales success comes from drilling the basics. Consistent practice of MEDDIC fundamentals builds long-term mastery and performance.
- Build and develop true Champions. A real Champion is trained, not found. Teach them how to prevent objections, align with their personal wins, and act as your advocate inside the customer's organization.
- Use influence strategically. The best sellers navigate complex orgs by understanding hidden influence lines to the Economic Buyer and leveraging trusted relationships, not just formal hierarchies.

CRO
Andy started at PTC in the late '90s, where he first learned MEDDIC, and it's been the backbone of how he builds and runs sales teams ever since. Over 25 years he's led GTM at BladeLogic, Imply, and SingleStore, with a track record that spans seed to Series F, five M&A exits, and one IPO. He's now CRO at Korial, a Series A AI SaaS platform, and advises a portfolio of early-stage founders on GTM scaling. When he's not doing that, he's guest lecturing at MBA programs - and, occasionally, kicking a ball around.
