## Resource

Why do the best reps warm up deals before the first call? Familiarity, relevance, and context lower resistance and make first conversations stronger. Brandon explains how pre-call touches improve show rates, trust, discovery quality, and why leaders should coach the motion before the meeting, not just the meeting itself.
