4/2/2025-Q2 account planning (YAY)
Skill

Yesterday, you said you were gonna KILL Q2….now it's time to work on your plan!

For example, how will you grow Acme Inc. by 20% in Q2?

Today, translate your Q2 strategy into tactics.

Focus your approach on these two areas:

1. Obstacles: Itemize the hurdles you must overcome to move forward on each account. How are you going to tackle them?

2. People: Who must you meet with to affect Q2 spending? (It always comes back to prospecting, huh?)

Next, get to work…call someone! Email someone. Whatever.

Get meetings!

Oomph

Can you hit your Q2 number without an account plan? Ummm…maybe.

But what about Q4? Or 2026? …2030??

Your prospects deserve your brain more than your quick response time on the keyboard.
