PAPER PROCESS
The Paper Process is the series of steps that follow the Decision Process, detailing how you will go from decision to signature.
THREE ELEMENTS OF THE PAPER PROCESS:
PROCESS
PEOPLE
TIMING
WHY THE PAPER PROCESS
Some organizations will include the Paper Process within the Decision Process. However, even after your champion and Economic Buyer have agreed to buy your solution, the deal can stall in legal review, security sign-offs, vendor questionnaires, or Master Service Agreement (MSA) negotiations.
Separating the Paper Process from the Decision Process encourages the seller to keep the deal moving and prevents the deal from being held up due to issues that could easily be solved. Staying in control of the Paper Process dramatically reduces risk in your deal.
SUMMARY
The Paper Process represents the stages and steps that lie ahead of getting anything formally agreed. It typically starts after a decision has been made to purchase your solution. You cannot accurately forecast without fully understanding the Paper Process, and staying on top of it is important for the overall progress of your deal.
