Module 1: Pre-Room Preparation
The meeting begins before you walk in. Preparation is the variable you fully control — who is in the room, what they care about, what they have already decided, and how to approach each person. Everything that happens in the room is a response to preparation that either happened or did not.

Module 3: Q&A and Hostile Rooms
Q&A is not a test — it is the most direct path to a decision. Hostile questions are not attacks — they are concerns the executive could not voice in any other way. Every question is an opportunity to close the decision if you know how to read the concern beneath the question.
