DESCRIPTION

Business meetings can change a lot, as your partners can change your opinion from meeting to meeting. You should never stop making that extra effort, but rather, approach each meeting as if you were meeting them for the first time.

1. Loosen Up That Attitude

Don’t confuse the in-person business meetings with any of the previous e-mails, calls, or video calls you had with that partner. Your attitude should convey the message that you are interested in doing business with the other party. A professional and serious approach is always desirable, but don’t forget that you are dealing with people. An occasional appropriate joke or a smile won’t make you look less like a business person, but it will make you more likable. Let’s face it – pleasant talk is much more appreciated over stiff, formal conversation. Show others that you know what are you talking about and that you know how to do business in a relaxed manner.

2. Organize Your Business Meetings

Long business meetings can be very exhausting and people can get really nervous, especially during negotiations where cannot reach the point where both parties are satisfied. Make sure that you organize your business meetings reasonably. Include coffee time, lunch or dinner time for the late meetings in your schedule.Everyone needs a pause from time to time – even the biggest workaholic. It doesn’t matter whether you are going to organize something in your own working space or you are going to take your business partners out to a restaurant.

3. Venues For Business Meetings

If you don’t have a conference space in your office, make sure to find an appropriate place where you are going to organize business meetings Somewhere near the premises of your company is ideal. Make sure that there is enough space for everyone planned to attend the meeting. You don’t want to make it too crowded – those are not favorable conditions for doing good business

4. Give Your Business Partners Something To Remember

Promotional gifts are excellent for these occasions. Choose what you will give them, since there are plenty of things suitable. Be creative and choose a functional item to carry the logo or a motto of your company, or choose something that is related to the company you are going to do business with – this will show them how much you really want to do business with them.
