The Power of The Pipeline Part III

With Erick Rheam

Welcome to 307, the third episode in our five part series on The Power of The Pipeline. Joining us is my friend and co-host for this series, Erick Rheam.

Last week we covered the second stage which is the contact made stage (you can find the second stage here and the first stage here). This week on The Speaker Lab we are talking about the phone meeting stage; we will cover the two goals you should have for all of your phone meetings and why you should save pricing talks for the phone.

You’ll hear details on why this stage is the most important part of this process – so be sure to take notes and follow step by step when you listen to episode 307 of The Speaker Lab.
