Sales people do not allow prospects to properly get involved in the call, and allow issues to surface, i.e. Triggers, that will allow them to secure an appointment and then move to executing the sales process. Tibor Craig,

But as you say, if there hasn't been a recent event then you're probably stuck as a #2. I'm going to consider how to weae this in. Ian Great post Craig,
