The operating system

Six Models.
One Operating System.

The digitalCORE operating system is six frames installed into a sales organization: SCOPE plans the year, PROOF qualifies the deal, PLAN preps the meeting, DRIVE runs the week, COACH builds the rep, and GROW grows the account. Every frame has a fixed shape, a named owner, and a place on the calendar.

Every frame has a fixed shape, a named owner, and a place on the calendar. One for the year, the deal, the meeting, the week, the rep, and the account.

01

Once a year with leadership. Reset every quarter.

Owner: CEO and head of sales

Output: the whole plan on one page

SCOPE

The annual revenue foundation

SCOPE sets the table every other frame eats from. Nothing downstream works if this is guessed at.

S
Survey

Listen before you plan. Customers, employees, churned accounts.

C
Canvas

The business on one page. The ICP written, with walk-away criteria.

O
Opposition

The competitive grid, scored on numbers, fed by win and loss.

P
Position

The SWOT, the root cause, and the four action questions.

E
Execute

The OGSMT, Sales Velocity, comp plan, outbound playbook, automation map.

If it is not written, it is not real.

02

The moment a deal enters the pipeline.

Owner: the seller

Output: a deal, or a name you stop working

PROOF

The qualification frame

If you cannot fill it in, it is not a deal. It is a name.

P
Pain

What is broken in their business that we fix?

R
Result

What outcome do they own if this works?

O
Owner

Who signs, who blocks, who champions?

O
Offer

What exactly are we proposing, at what price, by when?

F
Fit

Do we actually solve this. Can we deliver. Do we want this client.

No fit, no meeting. No PROOF, no commit.

03

Before every meeting. No exceptions.

Owner: the seller

Output: a dated advance on the calendar

PLAN

The meeting prep standard

PROOF qualifies the deal. PLAN runs the meeting that moves it. If you cannot fill it out, you are not ready.

P
Purpose

Why this meeting exists for them, not you.

L
Learn

The three things you must find out before you leave.

A
Advance

The specific commitment you will ask for.

N
Next

The dated mutual action on the calendar before you walk out.

A meeting without an advance is a conversation.

05

Monthly, separate from performance management.

Owner: the sales manager

Output: one closed skill gap per quarter

COACH

The monthly development loop

DRIVE runs performance. COACH builds the rep. Keep them separate or you will get neither.

C
Calls

Observed live or recorded. Scored against a rubric.

O
Opportunity

The one skill gap that matters most this quarter.

A
Attitude

The non-negotiable. Name it directly when it slips.

C
Commitment

What the rep will do differently before the next session.

H
Hold

The manager's job. Hold them to the commitment, in writing.

Observe. Identify the gap. Address attitude. Get a commitment. Hold the line.

06

Quarterly, every account, tiered by value.

Owner: the seller and the manager

Output: renewal, expansion, referral

GROW

The account growth loop

The renewal starts the day the contract signs. Underneath the loop sits the account rhythm: reports, touches, events.

G
Goals delivered

What they bought against, and where it stands.

R
Results documented

Proof in the client's numbers, in writing they can forward.

O
Opportunity

The expansion the results have earned. Number and date.

W
Who else

The referral ask, with the evidence on the table.

Renewal is a planned event.
