Four Simple Prep Steps to Make Every Meeting a Win-Win

Here's a great framework to prepare yourself for a meeting, courtesy of RMA Coach Cindy Cornell's awesome master class. As you prep for a meeting, answer the questions below - in writing:

1. What do I want the other person to know?

Make sure you're offering a clear, concise picture, with all the details needed to understand your idea/product/service.

2. What do I want them to believe?

What are the benefits? Have you done enough research to know what their problems are, and to deliver your solution in their language?

For Cindy's other two steps and to share your best meeting prep tips, hit the blog.

Warmest,

Keith

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.

Re: Does it help to join business groups? - I think so, yes, if you can join the right group, then it can be beneficial. Meeting other entrepreneurs in various fields and industries, some are long-time entrepreneurs, others have just started, each one can learn something from the other. Business groups are great platform to get support too, especially if you want to raise a particular question. Forums like these make it easier to get help and at the same time, contribute your own insights for others. It's a give and take thing:)
