MODULE SEVEN: EFFECTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
Why decision-makers don't respond quickly
When the decision-maker does not act on a recommendation, it's usually because he or she may not have enough information to make a quick judgment. To speed up the process and to improve the approval rate, you must learn to anticipate the questions that the decision-maker will ask in order to sign off on the requested change. This being the case, the more pertinent information included in the presentation, the higher the odds are for approval. Remember, the primary purpose of a recommendation is to persuade.
