In this episode, James breaks down what makes a sales meeting genuinely effective and why so many fail to drive real outcomes. He explains how clear structure, tight time management, and focused agendas can transform meetings from time-wasters into powerful performance tools.

James shares practical frameworks to bring clarity and consistency to your sales meetings, including the LION model for weekly check-ins and the MIST model for monthly sessions.
