Mutual Action Plan

FrameworkSales

A shared document between buyer and seller outlining milestones, owners, and timelines needed to complete a deal. Reduces deal slippage by creating joint accountability.


A Mutual Action Plan (MAP) is a shared, buyer–seller document that lays out every step required to evaluate, approve, and implement a solution, with clear milestones, owners, dates, and dependencies.

Why Mutual Action Plans Matter

Complex deals often die from inertia, not explicit rejection. A MAP:

  • Creates shared accountability between buyer and seller
  • Keeps both sides aligned on the process and timeline
