Speed beats perfection

The first team to respond and properly qualify a lead usually wins the deal — even if their product is slightly weaker.

The 60-second framework

  1. Confirm budget range in the first question
  2. Identify the decision-maker immediately
  3. Ask about timeline before pitching anything
  4. Flag any disqualifiers early to save everyone's time

Build this into your call scripts and watch your close rate climb within a quarter.
