AOS – August 13, 2012
Before and After – IT COUNTS
Why Before and After
• As in business – Most success is what happens
before and after a meeting
• Many deals are lost before a meeting starts
• Remember Jerry Maguire – “You had me at hello”
• First impression – One chance and it is “BEFORE”
the kick-off
• Learn, adapt and change
• Gain credibility
