You finally got the meeting!
Now what?
While getting a buyer to say "yes" to an initial sales meeting is a battle in and of itself, much success is determined by what happens in that first meeting. There are many mistakes to avoid, especially when you’re the one setting the meeting and driving the demand for your offerings.
It’s 4 PM on a Thursday. You’re about to meet the CEO of a large company you’d like to win as a client. The conversation starts as you walk into the office, approach the CEO, stretch out your hand, and say, “Nice to meet you, Jill. I’m Steve Webb.”
Broad, open-ended sales questions are great for helping you find out what’s going on in your prospects’ and clients’ worlds. They help you connect with buyers personally, understand their needs, understand what’s important to them, and help them create better futures for themselves.
