Today’s Tip: Take The Meeting

Your time is valuable as a business owner. Meetings take you away from your desk and when you don’t have the outcome you expected, it’s easy to get frustrated because you rearranged your schedule. Remember that you are creating a connection with the person and people you meet. Allow the meeting be a chance to learn about the person in front in you and for them to get to know you. Business is about relationships, enjoy the time away from your routine and let it be an learning opportunity. They will remember the way you made them feel and that will do a few things. It will build your reputation, you’ll be representing your business in a good light, and they will want to figure out how they can do business with you in the future. Just because meetings don’t always result in an immediate sale or a client signing on immediately, it can be yielding a much larger return for the future by laying the foundation of a great relationship.
