Do a little LinkedIn homework to find something that you have in common. I do this before I meet with executives and it helps to get the conversation going in the right direction. BTW - I stole this idea of Connect -> Convince -> Collaborate from the book "Insight Selling".

Just stay calm and talk about work stuff, ask them about their goals and share your goals.

Since starting at this company in January 2022, they’ve increased my base pay from 75k to 85k. Moved me in a desirable territory to maximize sales. allowed me to speak and train reps for what has been working. Given me the freedom to work strategies that work for me.

I absolutely love this company so far. I know my worth is higher than 85k base but sheesh. The way they value me and treat their employees right. Maybe it’s worth the lesser pay?
