You work hard to get a meeting with an executive level prospect so the main goal is to have a plan to deliver an exceptional meeting experience, including an opportunity to do business together. But did you know that 80% of initial sales meeting fail to produce real results?

Have you experienced an executive-level meeting that didn’t go as hoped? Have you noticed that as soon as you start talking, the executives are not listening and show little interest in you, your product or services? Or have you been equipped with best practice discovery questions you learned from other consultative training courses only to be marginalized with short answers? These are the challenges you will continue to face unless you explore what executives are looking for and how you can deliver a meeting they will absolutely enjoy.

In this session we discover the key reasons why executives do not want to meet with a salesperson. We identify the foundational principles to maximize the effectiveness of your meeting strategy. Executives today want their time to be respected and profitable. We explore what executives are look for and what you can do to give them what they want.
