Minimum Viable Committee (MVC) Triggers

The engineering of orchestration rules that only release an account to Sales when a cluster of required roles (e.g., Champion + Evaluator) engage within a 14-day window.

The Single-Threaded Dead End

Most ABM systems trigger an alert as soon as anyone at a target account clicks a link. This results in SDRs calling a lone analyst who has no buying power, while the actual decision-making unit remains cold. By enforcing MVC Triggers, you ensure Sales only spends time on accounts where a "Buying Momentum" exists—drastically reducing the 70% of ABM leads that Sales currently rejects as "junk."

Deal Failure Points
  • Premature Outreach: Calling before the committee has actually formed.
  • Single-Point Failure: Betting the entire deal on one contact who might leave or lack influence.
  • Wasted Research: SDRs building 1:1 decks for accounts that are just "browsing," not "building consensus."

Environment Implementation

6sense / Demandbase ON

We configure Custom Intent Profiles that require "Multi-Persona Engagement." We use platform orchestration to suppress account routing until at least two distinct persona tiers cross their individual weighting thresholds simultaneously.

Config: Trigger IF [PersonaCount >= 2] AND [Intensity == High]
Platform Off (CRM/MAP First)

We build Roll-Up Summary Logic at the Account level in CRM. This calculates a "Committee Density Score" based on unique contact activity within the last 14 days, auto-triggering a task only when the MVC floor is met.

Flow: IF (Unique_Roles_Engaged >= 2) THEN Release_to_Sales

Artifacts You Receive

  • MVC Definition Rubric: The required persona clusters for each account segment.
  • Orchestration Gate Spec: Technical rules for "Sales Release" triggers.
  • Committee Density Dashboard: Visual monitoring of "Ready" vs "Single-Threaded" accounts.

Implementation Steps

WK 1 Map historical "Closed-Won" committees to identify your MVC floor.
WK 2 Configure persona-based engagement thresholds in the stack.
WK 3 Deploy the suppression gates and validate Sales routing quality.
