The NOVA-6 Framework

27 critical checkpoints synthesized from 287 sales methodologies including SPIN Selling, MEDDIC, Challenger Sale, Sandler, Gap Selling, and more.

The honest truth: These principles aren't new—they come from SPIN, MEDDIC, Challenger, and 284 other methodologies.
What's different is having someone who's tested all of them across 20+ years of real deals, figured out what actually works, and built AI to apply it for you every single day.

A question to sit with: How many deals in the last 6 months died because you forgot to follow up? Because you didn't quantify their pain early enough? Because you lost track of who the real decision-maker was? You knew what to do. You just didn't do it.

1

Uncovered the emotional story behind their business problem

Critical
Adapted from SPIN Selling
Stages: lead, qualification

Sample Question: Ask: "Walk me through the worst day this problem created for your team" - Stories activate 22x more brain regions than facts

2

Calculated their daily burn rate and made it visceral

Critical
Adapted from Challenger Sale
Stages: lead, qualification, discovery

Sample Question: Break down costs into hourly/daily burn rates. Loss framing accelerates decisions by 2.3x compared to gain framing

3

Quantified the cost of inaction with specific numbers

Critical
Adapted from Gap Selling
Stages: discovery

Sample Question: Calculate: Current cost × Time without solution = Total loss. Make them feel the pain of doing nothing

4

Confirmed they have budget allocated

Adapted from MEDDIC
Stages: discovery, proposal

Sample Question: Direct ask: "Do you have budget allocated for this?" If no, find out budget cycle and approval process

NOVA calculates their specific daily burn rate and generates urgency scripts

Your Checklist Response

✓ Completed:

Calculated their daily burn rate and made it visceral

Your Response:

Team of 12 SDRs spending ~90 min/day on manual prospect research. At $35/hr that's $630/day or about $13K/month in wasted productivity.

What NOVA Generates For You

📊 THE SITUATION You've quantified their pain: $13K/month in lost SDR productivity. That's $156K/year—real money that gets VP attention. 🎯 THE PLAY Use loss framing. Don't say "save $13K/month." Say "stop losing $630 every single day your team does manual research." 💬 SCRIPT: "You mentioned $630/day in manual research time. That's nearly $13K walking out the door every month. Our solution is $500/month. Even if we only cut that waste by 40%, you're looking at 10x ROI. Does that math work for your leadership?" ✅ NEXT STEPS Document their reaction in Coach's Office Hours—especially any pushback on the math.

⚡ This is just a preview. In the full product, NOVA adapts every script to your DISC communication style, builds context from every interaction (not just one response), and automatically adds follow-ups to your Today's Most Valuable Actions so no deal ever goes cold.
