The Initial Meeting


Sharing a video with your prospects about your product or service can help them understand it much better. 

During your first point of contact with a prospect, take into consideration the common questions that you get asked. Turn these questions and answers into an informational video. Not only will you better understand your prospects, but they too will gain a better understanding of what you’re selling. 

Send this video to your prospect before the initial meeting. It will give them a chance to better understand your product or service, which will let you focus on the more important elements during the meeting.
