101: How to get better at first meetings (Part 1)

Send me a text (I will personally respond)You know when you’re doing a bunch of first meetings, but not enough of them are converting to a second meeting or demos? Well, we’ve all been there. That first meeting conversion has such a huge impact on how successful we are. If your conversion rate isn't the best, then what ends up happening is you try to make the most of what you have, and do anything you can to have opportunities (good or bad) go through. Maybe it’s something you’re doing, or maybe it's something you’re not doing! In our next three episodes, we will be covering all things “first meetings”. We will be going over a check list I created and thinking through what's happening in those first meetings and what we can do to make sure they’re turning into those quality opportunities that we’re looking for.Now, let's go over a few of those points:#1 Are you truly meeting with your ideal customer profile?#2 Are we having the right level of conversation for who we’re meeting with? #3 Are you carving out 10 minutes at the end of the meeting to agree on the next steps?#4 Have you identified a big enough problem to work through with the prospect or that's big enough for them to be excited to fix? #5 Have you been able to articulate a future for them to move towards and get excited about? #6 How have you spent your time in the meeting? Sometimes we’ve pitched too much in the time we’ve carved out for the meeting#7 Are we asking great questions during the explanation of what we do?Tune into today's episode where we expand on these points and what you can do to score those second meetings!Get the First Meeting ChecklistIf you are a sales leader at a startup, or you're in the sales team, and you're searching for your repeatable scalable sales process to grow sales faster, then please get in touch with me at andrew@unstoppable.do or you can also go to my site at www.unstoppable.do.Sign up for our newsletter (https://www.salesbluebird.com)We want your questions and topic suggestions for future episodes.  Send them to  andrew@unstoppable.do or  send us a voice/video at https://zipmessage.com/unstoppable----------If you are a sales leader, you are probably under pressure right now to use your headcount on quota-carrying positions BUT you intuitively know you need to invest in the team to help them succeed.
