The call before the meeting:

Simply having your champion introduce you as the expert while explaining why they invited you specifically, can make a considerable difference to the amount of time, attention and influence your customer is happy to give you!
This call has additional benefits; by timing it the day before the meeting you give your sponsor opportunities to open up and share any new information that may have cropped up between your last discussion and your upcoming meeting. Not to mention that this step powerfully demonstrates your commitment and care to your client. This is a very different behaviour type from those who simply stumble from one meeting to another.
Next week we will be talking to you about pitching online, and specifically where 99% of online pitches FAIL. Don’t miss it!
