| 9 | ## Why Multithreading Matters |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ### The Problem with Single-Threading |
| 12 | - Deals stall when your champion leaves or goes dark |
| 13 | - You miss perspectives from key decision-makers |
| 14 | - No internal advocates beyond your main contact |
| 15 | - Limited visibility into the buying process |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ### Benefits of Multithreading |
| 18 | - **Resilience**: Deal survives if one contact goes dark |
| 19 | - **Speed**: Multiple parallel conversations accelerate decisions |
| 20 | - **Intelligence**: Learn about different perspectives and priorities |
| 21 | - **Influence**: Build coalition of supporters across the org |
