What Frameworks Help Scale Advocacy Across Buying Groups?
Turn champions into multipliers with a repeatable advocacy engine built for multi-stakeholder deals. Align value proof, stories, and enablement to the needs of Finance, IT, Operations, and the Business owner—so one win fuels the next across the account and market.
Three frameworks consistently scale advocacy across buying groups: Value Realization (prove outcomes quickly and visibly), Customer Evidence Flywheel (systematically capture and publish proof), and Mobilizer Enablement (arm champions to sell internally). When operationalized under a governance model like RM6™, these frameworks turn delivered value into reusable stories, references, and plays that accelerate consensus and expansion.
The Advocacy Building Blocks
Frameworks to Run — And How They Work Together
Operationalize these frameworks as a single system so each customer win creates portable proof for the next buying group.
1) Value Realization Framework (VRF)
- Define outcomes by role: Finance (ROI, payback), IT (risk, integration), Ops (throughput), Business (revenue/CSAT).
- Instrument first proof: Agree on 1–3 KPIs; baseline → go-live → 30/60-day checkpoints.
- Publish the proof: Lightweight win cards and dashboards the champion can share immediately.
2) Customer Evidence Flywheel (CEF)
- Capture: Interview, data pull, screenshots, stakeholder quotes.
- Package: Case study, ROI one-pager, role-based slides, snippet for review sites.
- Distribute: Add to enablement, ABM ads, nurture, SDR talk tracks; track usage to pipeline lift.
3) Mobilizer Enablement (ME)
- Internal sell kit: Deck templates for CFO/CIO/Ops, security FAQ, integration notes, procurement path.
- Consensus scripts: Email/Slack copy, meeting agendas, objection handling by function.
- Reference routing: Match prospect roles to advocate roles; schedule peer calls with clear outcomes.
