Quick-win tool · PDF playbook
A friendly contact is not a champion — and mistaking one for the other is how "sure-thing" deals die in committee. This playbook verifies the difference with evidence, then gives you the conversation arcs and scripts that turn an Invested (L4) buyer into a Champion (L5) who sells for you internally.
| # | Level 5 signal | Evidence standard (excerpt) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Defends you to other stakeholders | Heard from a third party or seen live on a group call — their advocacy, not their assurance of advocacy |
| 2 | Shares internal documents unprompted | Org charts, budget cycles, competitor evaluations. Unprompted is the key word |
| 3 | Gives you their mobile number | And answers it |
| 4 | Replies off-hours | Your deal lives in their personal priority list |
| 5 | "When we implement" language | "If" is evaluation. "When" is ownership |
| 6 | Introduces you to stakeholders on their own initiative | A champion spends reputation freely |
| 7 | Tells you things that are risky to share | Vulnerability is investment |
Each signal is scored OBSERVED, NOT OBSERVED, or CONTRADICTED — the playbook's scoring bands tell you whether to enable, build, or re-qualify.
