How to Use ClickUp for MEDDIC Sales Qualification

ClickUp can power a clear, repeatable MEDDIC sales process that helps your team qualify deals, forecast accurately, and close more revenue with less guesswork.

This how-to guide walks you through turning the MEDDIC framework into a practical, trackable workflow inside your workspace using the concepts explained in the original MEDDIC guide on the ClickUp MEDDIC sales blog.

Step 1: Understand the MEDDIC Framework Before Using ClickUp

Before you build anything in ClickUp, make sure your revenue team clearly understands each element of MEDDIC:

• Metrics: Quantifiable results your buyer expects, like revenue growth or cost reduction.
• Economic Buyer: The person with budget authority who can sign the deal.
• Decision Criteria: The standards the buyer uses to compare solutions.
• Decision Process: The formal steps your buyer follows to approve and purchase.
• Identify Pain: The urgent business problems your product solves.
• Champion: An internal advocate who sells on your behalf.

Clarify how your organization defines each of these so your future ClickUp setup reflects the same language and expectations.

Step 2: Plan Your MEDDIC Workflow Structure in ClickUp

Next, decide how you will represent MEDDIC data in ClickUp so it is simple for sales reps to use and easy for leaders to report on.

Common structural choices include:

• Spaces for entire revenue teams or business units.
• Folders for sales methodologies such as MEDDIC.
• Lists for pipelines or opportunity stages.
• Tasks representing individual deals or accounts.

Plan to store MEDDIC qualification data at the task level so each opportunity has a single source of truth for discovery notes, stakeholders, and next steps.

Step 3: Create a MEDDIC Sales List in ClickUp

With your structure designed, create a dedicated list to manage MEDDIC-qualified opportunities inside ClickUp.

1. Create or open your revenue space.
2. Add a folder named something like MEDDIC Sales.
3. Inside the folder, create a list such as MEDDIC Pipeline.

Use this list to track new deals that are moving through qualification and validation, separate from general leads or unqualified contacts.

Step 4: Add Custom Fields for MEDDIC in ClickUp

To make MEDDIC actionable, add custom fields in ClickUp that mirror each framework component. This keeps qualification consistent and reportable.

Key MEDDIC Custom Fields in ClickUp

• Metrics (Text / Number)
  Capture target outcomes like revenue impact, cost savings, or productivity gains.
• Economic Buyer (Text)
  Store the name, title, and contact info for the decision maker.
• Decision Criteria (Text / Dropdown)
  List the requirements your solution must meet, such as price, integrations, or security standards.
• Decision Process (Text)
  Document steps, stakeholders, and timelines involved in getting to signature.
• Pain Summary (Long Text)
  Summarize the main business problems uncovered during discovery.
• Champion (Text)
  Identify your internal supporter and describe their influence and relationship strength.
• MEDDIC Score (Number or Dropdown)
  Optional field for a quick health rating of qualification quality.

Keep field names short and intuitive. This reduces friction so sellers complete them regularly inside ClickUp.

Step 5: Build a Repeatable MEDDIC Template in ClickUp

To standardize discovery and deal execution, turn one well-designed opportunity task into a reusable template inside ClickUp.

How to Design the Task Template

1. Create a new task in your MEDDIC list.
2. Give it a descriptive name such as MEDDIC Opportunity Template.
3. Ensure all MEDDIC custom fields are visible and organized.
4. Add a detailed task description that includes:
   • Sections for each MEDDIC category.
   • Prompt questions to guide discovery calls.
   • Space for meeting notes and call summaries.
5. Add relevant subtasks, such as:
   • Research account and stakeholders.
   • Initial discovery meeting.
   • Economic buyer validation.
   • Champion alignment and strategy.
   • Review decision criteria and process.
6. Convert the task into a template so every new opportunity can be created from it in ClickUp.

This approach uses the same questions and structure for every deal, creating consistent data for coaching and forecasting.

Step 6: Map Your Stages to MEDDIC in ClickUp

Your ClickUp statuses should reflect how far a deal has progressed through MEDDIC discovery and validation, not just generic pipeline stages.

Example Statuses Aligned With MEDDIC

• Inbound / Prospecting: Initial contact, before MEDDIC starts.
• Discovery: Early conversations focused on metrics and pain.
• MEDDIC Validation: Economic buyer, decision criteria, and process confirmed.
• Proposal: Solution positioned and commercial terms shared.
• Verbal Commit: Champion and buyer aligned on moving forward.
• Closed Won / Closed Lost: Final outcomes with reasons captured.

Use automation where available to move tasks between these statuses when specific custom fields are completed or certain actions occur.

Step 7: Use ClickUp Views to Track MEDDIC Deals

Different views in ClickUp highlight MEDDIC progress for reps, managers, and leadership.

Helpful Views for MEDDIC in ClickUp

• Board View: Visualize deals by status, seeing how many are in discovery, validation, or proposal.
• Table View: Show columns for key MEDDIC fields so you can scan gaps quickly.
• List View: Review opportunities as a sortable list by deal size, close date, or MEDDIC score.
• Custom Dashboards: Combine charts, widgets, and reports for leadership-level insights into pipeline health.

Encourage reps to update information during or immediately after calls so each view in ClickUp stays current and trustworthy.

Step 8: Coach Reps Using MEDDIC Data in ClickUp

Once opportunities are captured with consistent MEDDIC fields, use ClickUp as a coaching hub.

• Filter deals missing a champion or economic buyer.
• Review notes to see if real business pain is documented.
• Spot patterns where decision criteria are unclear.
• Use comments to ask targeted MEDDIC questions on each opportunity.

Make these reviews part of weekly one-on-ones and forecast calls so everyone treats MEDDIC as a shared operating system, not a one-time checklist.

Step 9: Analyze and Improve Your MEDDIC Process in ClickUp

Over time, the data inside ClickUp reveals which deals are likely to close and where your team struggles most within MEDDIC.

• Compare win rates for opportunities with and without clearly defined metrics.
• Check cycle length when the economic buyer is identified early vs. late.
• Review common pains that lead to successful deals.
• Identify stages where deals frequently stall and refine your questions or enablement.

Use these insights to refine your task templates, custom fields, and sales playbooks so MEDDIC continuously improves.
