20 TWO RULES FOR GOAL-SETTING Well-Defined Avoid confusion of having overlapping or vague goals. Make each goal a specific metric for a defined period. Measurable Each goal should include a metric for measuring success.

21 FOUR COMPONENTS TO SETTING YOUR STRATEGY 1. Develop standing target list 2. Commit to weekly pre-call planning 3. Create visit strategy 4. Manage the relationship and referrals 20

22 CLASSIFY OPPORTUNITIES BASED ON REFERRAL TYPE 21

23 SETTING GOALS FOR NON-LIAISONS Request Executives or Service Line Leads Support 1. Establish process for who does outreach 2. Carve out time dedicated to outreach 3. Create visit goals based on time allotted 4. Maintain priority list and refresh regularly 22
