- Be clear – if you don’t understand, get clarity, summarize and assure you understand.
- Vet all processes up front
- Don’t make assumptions
- US counterparts expect transparency
- Adapt to the process
- Be ready to justify your position with fact, figures, and business reasons
- Know the big picture, not just the details of today (important even for status updating)
- Be able to articulate your accomplishments and positions – not only in the selling process, but also during the engagement.
- Focus on providing value adds and extras, more than what is explicitly asked for.
- Communicate readiness to go to the next step
