The Sales call will go something like this. You Make some small talk, then have the client fill out the questionnaire. You say goodbye to the client and tell them you will get back to them to see how to proceed. In some cases you may want to make the 2nd appointment on the spot in other cases you may want to wait.

Before you leave ask for some leads.

The second meeting is where you make the sale. You go back with the questionnaire and at least 2 proposals on how you can meet their needs. If you get the sale or not always ask for leads. If you get the sale or not ask them if it's ok if you check back later on to review there situation.
