Meetings are about decisions

How much time do you have to get somewhere with your proposal?

Seems to me that the world is split into two categories of people:

The first (3% of business people) picks up the phone, fires away an email, flies in for a meeting, and gets a decision.

The second (97% of business people) spends months preparing to pick up the phone, send an email, and take a meeting, to present their solution.

That's why they miss out.

Why are you still in that big group?
