I am curious who is using a go/no go document for your complex deals. I have been doing this for a couple of years, and have had a lot of success. I use a spreadsheet, work with the customer on the steps that need to take place, timing, and who is involved.
This has been helpful to keep the customer on track during the buying process. It takes the pressure off of me hounding them all of the time of next steps, and holds them accountable to what they have said. It also shows them how their go-live date will change if they don't keep working through the steps on the dates that they originally told me.
The reason why I am curious as to others using this, is because it is super manual and time consuming. Also it isn't that collaborative for customers. I basically update it as we go and send it to them. I am working with a tech guy to build something that is much more customer facing and dynamic. It is a Saas app makes it really easy for you and the customer.
It isn't available yet, and I am still working as a sales rep. Just curious if people would use it, or if I am wasting my time.
Hope to get some feedback from other pros.
