Pursuing a complex, major sale is a sizeable investment for any company. It is vital that sales representatives work to an all-inclusive plan that improves competitive positioning and delivers a return on investment. 

MOP stands for Major Opportunity Planning. It is a structured process for qualifying and winning major sales opportunities.

When a sales cycle is long and complex, with more than one decision maker involved, sales representatives need to construct a sales plan that can deal with this complexity and make required actions clear.

For both customers and sellers to maximise their success it is vital that sales representatives properly cover buyers and their issues, focus on competitive strengths, resolve  points of vulnerability, understand risk and resource requirements and clearly communicate value.

When should MOP be applied?

As a guideline, use MOP

Whenever you feel the need. If you want to win a deal it is worth making sure you have the best competitive strategies in place. Use MOP to test your understanding of why you will win and develop competitive action plans.
Whenever the level of resource required is high. Sales time, demonstration inventory, technical resources. management attention- whatever.
Whenever you are entering a new account. The MOP checklist will help you gain a better understanding of the customer's priorities. Customers will regard you as offering superior value when your solutions address their priorities. Sell business and personal outcomes for the customer, not technical capabilities.
Whenever you need the active involvement of others. As well as being a useful communication tool MOP creates opportunities for others to get involved in planning. By involving others in the planning process you will increase their commitment to implementing action plans.
