Three-Part Meetings
The best sales meetings have three parts. They start with discovery, further discovery, or confirmation on a buyer’s goal. Things change, new goals emerge, newl buyers join in
The second part of the meeting maps a product presentation to specific buyer goals. Buyers tune out on a generic product discussion. The third part of “the last 10 minutes” is used to confirm where they see the most value and, actions they will take to secure that value.
Teams that run three-part meetings convert deal at 35%-40% higher rate than other teams.
