Finally did something positive that went against every other instinct in my head.
I stopped the meeting early.
In fact I did it twice.
The former me would push on to complete a demo regardless, in the hope that something I say or show might persuade the prospect to switch tunes and go "actually that's interesting, let's talk more", but in reality both these prospects were just not suitable from the off. Most the time they are happy just to take a look, but that isn't paying my bills any more.
I do a lot of my own demo booking so can usually qualify harder before the demo even takes place but these were actually passed over by a demo booking company and just not qualified for fit.
Coincidental that I have two on one day but that's they way it goes sometimes.
