Meeting Prep Questions
1: Preparing for a meeting.
How much should you research your attendees?

2: Why is it important to determine clear objectives?

3: Can we talk about different kinds of meetings? We would like to focus on a pitch meeting or sales meetings

4: Can we talk about physical appearance – In person and virtual?

5: Can we talk about body language and shaking hands? Give us a quick lesson in not fucking up a handshake.

6: Any golden rules for behaviour during the meeting.

7: Can we talk a little about a great close and how to end a meeting so that it is not the end of the relationship.

8: Can we discuss how you follow up after a meeting?

Whatcha Watchin?

Steve just finished reading ‘Augmented: Life in the Smart Lane‘ which he loved and just watched what Adrian called Guy Ritchie’s return to London gangster classic roots, The Gentleman!

Adrian just finished and Jay is reading ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Adrian is now reading a new book about Nikola Tesla called ‘Wizard‘. What an incredible and somehow heartbreaking story. Steve Downer says the story of Tesla is a lesson in IP rights.
