In the Pre-Meeting Protocol, what is Step 1 and why is it done first?

Practice question from Advanced B1S8 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    Visualise a positive outcome first, to set intentions for the meeting

  2. B

    Review your product knowledge to build confidence

  3. Fire your anchor to enter peak state before the visualisation begins — not from a neutral or anxious starting point

    Correct answer

  4. D

    Rehearse your opening lines until they feel natural

Why this is the answer

Visualisation is only as powerful as the state from which you run it. Starting from anxiety or neutrality means you rehearse from a low-quality internal state. Anchoring first ensures the mental rehearsal is done from peak confidence, which is what gets encoded.
