sense of
urgency
What is a qualified lead?

12.
• Urgency means “of pressing importance.”
• When business people have a true sense of urgency, they
think action on critical issues is needed now, not eventually,
not when it fits easily into a schedule. "Now" means
making real progress every single day.
• These are challenges that are central to success or survival,
winning or losing.
• With a true sense of urgency, people want to come to work
each day ready to cooperate energetically and responsively
with intelligent initiatives from others. And they do.
• People want to find ways to launch smart initiatives. They
want answers.
Sense of Urgency
Have them answer themselves.
