Finding an Internal Advocate

Ask for help, not the order.

Your goal for the first sales meeting with a prospect is to get them to agree to a second meeting, where your real selling efforts can begin.  If the prospect does not seem likely to agree to a second meeting, ask them to assign someone to help you better understand their needs.  Hopefully, an internal person will be assigned to work with you and help you identify what you need to do to move forward.
