# Welcome to Stage 2

::: success
See the happy Panda? 👆🐼 That can only mean one thing...

**Congratulations! You've completed Foundation Stage! 🚀**
:::

Welcome to Stage 2. You are now ready to tackle your mission!

This stage has a different dynamic from what you've seen until now: **it's time to begin doing real world sales! 🤓**

From now on, you will become a real-world salesperson for a company, and be tasked with a mission you need to complete.

🎯 **Your mission is to schedule at least 1 qualified demo meeting.**

Easy, right?

Let's go!
 

## Stage 2 Structure

Remember when we said the course was designed to work sequentially on each element in the sales process? This is when we begin!

As you can see in the diagram above, Stage 2 will take you through the first three stages of the sales process. You will:

1. Prepare: Learn how to identify, generate and research the right leads
2. Prospect: Approach these leads using a mix of channels
3. Qualify: Qualify these leads through discovery calls

Each module will cover one of these steps.

Let's have a look 👀 👇
