💡 Tip — Day 160

Use the “Hidden Room Map” for any deal with more than one stakeholder. Deals rarely die in your meeting. They die in the meeting after your meeting. 1. User: Who feels the pain daily? 2. Owner: Who is accountable for the business outcome? 3. Blocker: Who could slow this down—IT, Legal, Finance, Procurement? 4. Skeptic: Who will question whether change is worth it? 5. Power: Who can approve budget when tradeoffs get real? Your job is not to “meet everyone.” It’s to know what each person cares about before they form opinions without you. 🎯 Try this today: Pick one active deal and label each role with a name or “unknown.” Then ask your contact for one missing perspective.
