Yeah, I'd be afraid to hear what I sound like. Probably just ramble on and on. If you're doing pre-proposal meetings via Skype, you could always throw on the Skype call recorder :) Recording could be good… Yeah, I’d be afraid to hear what I sound like.

I've always taken notes during the meeting but I like your approach of focusing 100% on the conversation and jotting down notes later. One thing I've thought about doing is activating the voice recorder on my iPhone and setting it off to the side (or maybe even just keeping it in my pocket so it's not a distraction). That way I can go back and listen in case I forget any details, but also so I can evaluate my own performance during the meeting. Haven't tried it yet, but maybe someday. I'm scared I'll realize how poor of a job I do. :) As much as I dislike sales meetings, they are necessary at times.
