“Arriving late is the way of showing your own time is more valuable than the time of the person who waited for you”

Be Professional:

Wearing formals doesn’t make you professional, you should act like it. During meeting use a polite tone, be confident, don’t be over-familiar, and put a smile on your face.

Listen Carefully:

Customers don’t want to feel like you’re not listening to them. Ask questions to learn about what are their requirements and needs. And listen to them carefully.

Be an Advisor:

Rather than the desperate salesperson be an advisor and help them in taking the right decision, advise customers on suitable products that best meet their needs and encourage purchases.

“Don’t celebrate closing a sale, celebrate opening a relationship ”

Follow-up:

Build better relationships with customers with timely follow-ups after the meeting. This is a great way to increases engagement with customers and provides the best customer care.

“Follow up and follow through until the task is completed, the prize won.” — Brain Tracy

Your meeting with a client is a deciding factor whether you make a deal or break a deal. Don’t just reach out to them add value to every communication and show they are important for your business.
