I contend that we need to pre-brief as many calls as debrief. Debriefing is very important: ‘Hey, what did you say, you paused here, you stepped on the prospect, you didn’t let them finish the sentence.’ Pre-briefing is, ‘what are you going to say when they say this?’ And you actually see if the seller can execute the skill before they get on a call.
