What is a Decisive Action Plan

At its core, a Decisive Action Plan transcends the ordinary follow-up . It's a strategically designed, concrete action plan with a specific deadline . Imagine the impact of scheduling a product demo for the upcoming week or committing to send a detailed proposal by a certain date. These aren't just arbitrary next steps; they are impactful actions meticulously planned to propel the deal forward.

  • Timely and Specific
    The essence of a Decisive Action Plan lies in its specificity and timeliness. It moves beyond the nebulous "let's touch base soon" to establish a clear, actionable step such as "let's reconvene Wednesday at 10 AM with the decision-makers." This level of precision not only sets a definitive timeline but also emphasizes the importance of the next steps in the context of the deal.
  • Impactful
    The steps outlined in a Decisive Action Plan are critical for advancing the deal. They are not routine follow-ups but significant actions directly contributing to moving the deal towards closure. This approach ensures that every action taken is purposeful and has a direct impact on the deal's momentum.


Why Does It Matter
