Provide their goals and challenges and how the service/product will acheive the goals. Present them with all the information about budget, decision making process, and the timeline.

The most time I spend is on researching the prospect ahead of time and reviewing our previous interactions. I confirm their role, department, and any other information I can gather about their leadership hierarchy and decision-making process.

 

Since my product is content-heavy, I also review relative content for their specific situation
