Core Principles

核心原则

1. The Meeting Starts Before the Meeting

1. 会议始于会议之前

Engagement between scheduling and meeting determines show rate:

Confirmation and reminders
Value reinforcement
Expectation setting
Relationship building

预约与会议之间的互动决定了出席率：

确认与提醒
价值强化
预期设定
关系建立

2. Make Showing Up Easy and Valuable

2. 让出席变得简单且有价值

Remove friction, increase benefit:

Clear logistics
Compelling agenda
Obvious value to them
Respect for their time

消除障碍，提升收益：

清晰的后勤安排
引人注目的议程
对Prospect而言明确的价值
尊重他们的时间

3. Multiple Touchpoints Without Annoyance

3. 多触点沟通但避免打扰

Strategic contact reinforces commitment:

Confirmation immediately
Value add before meeting
Day-before reminder
Day-of confirmation

策略性沟通可强化参与承诺：

立即发送确认信息
会前提供增值内容
会前一天发送提醒
会议当天发送确认

4. Qualify and Confirm Intent

4. 筛选并确认意向

The best way to improve show rates is better qualification:

Are they actually interested?
Do they have authority/budget?
Is timing right?
Are expectations aligned?

提高出席率的最佳方式是更精准的筛选：

他们是否真的感兴趣？
他们是否拥有决策权/预算？
时机是否合适？
双方预期是否一致？
