The opportunity plan.

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”Proverbs 16:3

Opp IDOP-2611Date / rev.02/11/2026 · v3Sales execSales executivePMProject manager

Before any price

Your word is a duty of state: win on value, never on what you cannot deliver. If this deal needs a half-truth, it is a no-go. Duties of state

1
The path of the opportunity

Tick one. The path decides which sections are required.

A · Standard offer

A catalog product or service at list price. Quote and deliver.

Skip: CTQ and appendices · fast PDCA
B · Standard + adaptation

A base offer covers ~80%; we adapt the ~20% gap.

Required: CTQ for the 20% we adapt
C · Designed to order

Designed for this client. Full DFSS discipline.

Required: CTQ + appendix A (QFD) + B (MOU)

Profile and critical pains

Up to 3 pains, in the client’s words. If it has no $, it is not critical.

Before signing, discern: would I make this same deal if the client saw all my numbers? If not, change the deal — not the story.

Opportunity Win · Sales · sample · sample data · appendix A · path C

From client needs to design targets.

“Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.”Matthew 7:12

A1
Voice of the customer → CTQ (QFD)

Path C only, during needs analysis — about 30 minutes with the solution specialist, before any design work.

  1. What: up to 6 needs in the client’s own words (from the pains in §3).
  2. Importance: the client rates each 1–5. Do not guess it.
  3. How: turn each need into a measurable CTQ you can design and test.
  4. Relationship: 9 strong · 3 medium · 1 weak. Score = Σ importance × relationship.
  5. Focus: the top 3 CTQs get design effort first; copy them to §5.
Client need (what)Imp. 1–5CTQ 1CTQ 2CTQ 3CTQ 4CTQ 5
1. “Close more, not another course”593
2. “Don’t take them off the road”49

The scope agreement.

“Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.”Matthew 5:37

B1
The agreement

Grey text explains each line.

  1. Most margin leaks on designed-to-order work come from unclear scope. This page makes it explicit before design starts.
  2. The sales executive fills it with the client; the solution specialist checks the technical lines; the PM tracks the signature.
  3. Plain language the buyer can sign without a lawyer. Non-binding except confidentiality.
  4. No signature, no design work. Any later change goes through change control: re-costed and re-priced.
