Sales meeting agenda template productive

Run efficient, outcome-driven sales meetings. Pre-meeting (24 hours before): send agenda email. 'Looking forward to our call. My understanding is we'll cover: 1. [Agenda item]. 2. [item]. 3. [item]. I'll share [specific outcome]. Please let me know if you'd like to add anything.' Meeting structure: 1. Rapport (2 mins): genuine small talk, reference something personal from LinkedIn. 2. Agenda alignment (1 min): 'I have us for 30 minutes to discuss X, Y, Z. Sound good?' 3. Discovery or demo (20 mins): bulk of meeting. 4. Questions (5 mins): open floor, address concerns. 5. Next steps (2 mins): 'Based on this, what are the next steps?' Schedule next meeting before hanging up. Post-meeting (1 hour after): send recap email with action items, links discussed, calendar hold for next meeting. Use meeting note template in CRM for consistency.
