Stop Selling and Start Engaging

Curious if anyone has used a simple "scripted" outline for making an introductory call on a "C-level" executive where you are reasonably sure there is an opportunity to help solve a business problem worth solving. (I consider the outline to minimally include: 1) Pre call preparation, 2) Making the introductory appointment, 3) Framing what you do/say in front of the client to OPEN the conversation to show value and 4) Closing for the next action.)

The goals are: 1) qualify 2) build value in "me" and my company enough to be asked back for a second meeting if qualified. Sales Leaders tell me that when they are brought in on calls with their reps, they use this to immediately engage with the client and refrain from "selling" their solution up front.
