Intention Determines Meeting Outcomes
- Most sales meetings fail because they lack intention and a clear plan before starting.
- Setting expectation early changes outcomes and prevents surface-level conversations from stalling.
Always Prepare Before Meetings
- If you can't prepare, don't show up; take five to ten minutes to get organized beforehand.
- Respecting time benefits both parties and preserves credibility.

- Frame the purpose around mutual value so you earn the right to ask for help or referrals.
