What it does
Most people walk into a first meeting with their own pitch ready and nothing prepared about the other person. They talk about themselves, forget the name by the end and never follow up. The person leaves with no sense of being seen. This workflow prepares the other half. It finds what the person cares about, picks two things you can honestly admire and writes one question only they can answer. It plans the first ten seconds, the questions, the listening and the close. After the meeting, it turns your rough notes into a card with the exact name, the facts they shared, your promises and the next touch. Then it writes a short, specific thank-you with no request in it. The order comes from the second part of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, on making people like you.

- The person's name and role, and why you are meeting

You get
- A one-page brief on what they care about, the people around them and the one question only they can answer
