The problem with getting the meeting is that you think you’re job is over. That the hard part has finally subsided. That you can relax a bit. That because you got the meeting that you’re in.
The problem with getting the meeting is that the goal becomes about having a good-time meeting rather than providing something of value.
Before you ask for a meeting, ask your self What am I providing? What benefit can I pass onto the person I want to meet with?
The person you want to meet with probably doesn’t need another meeting, but there’s a good chance they need the benefit that you can provide them.
There’s a ton of people barking up their tree for a meeting in order to ask them for something.
What if you don’t bark up their tree for a meeting but instead provide them with something?
p.s. Rarely is meeting synonymous with doing.
