The art of securing a first, live meeting with a new contact. Mark Cook shares an interview from when Lisa Morozoff was a principal with Mercer, San Francisco (now with Uber) and with Ryan Wiersdorf, a sales leader and top performer at O.C. Tanner. Mark also adds a response by Rob Plowgian, sales leader at NetCuras, about beginning business relationships. Plus, Rob offers a bonus: discovering tech. “dev ops” problems and opportunities for providers. All four participants in this lively discussion explore relationship-building, positioning a company, and understanding operations for prospects. The discussion covers key challenges in others' roles, the role of emotion in decision-making, and strategic networking. Guests also share preparation tactics for referrals and the art of asking for introductions—highlighting the power of personal connections and purposeful outreach.

A new relationship requires understanding feelings not just thoughts:

"Emotion is part of decision making."

"Value is progress."

"I believe in sharpening the saw."
