Your client gave you 60 minutes. You needed 20.

🤩 Today’s SPINĀ® Behaviour Challenge

Your client gave you 60 minutes. You needed 20. And you filled the rest with slides.

Meeting length isn’t a gift. It’s a trap — if you don’t know what each minute is for.

Match the Format to the SPINĀ® Stage

15 minutes

Open with your Initial Advantage Statement. One precise Implication question. One specific next step.

One job: earn the longer meeting.

30 minutes

The discovery sweet spot. Initial Advantage Statement, then SPINĀ® questions that map value and the real cost of inaction. Leave with explicit needs — or you didn’t use the time well.

60 minutes

Not for presenting. For co-creating. Need-Payoff questions. Business case building. Stakeholder consensus.

Still presenting at minute 40? You’ve wasted the meeting.

The pattern: Top performers use less of the available time — and create more impact with it.

THE CHALLENGE

Before your next meeting, answer one question:

ā€œWhat single outcome makes this meeting a success — and which SPINĀ® questions gets me there?ā€

Build backwards from that outcome.

Not from your agenda. From theirs.

The meeting that closes isn’t the longest. It’s the most intentional.

Drop ā€œINTENTIONALā€ in the comments if you’re matching questions to minutes today šŸ‘‡

All the best.
