THE CLIENT MEAL

The ‘Client Lunch’ also termed the ‘Power Lunch’ is becoming quite the norm for many reasons including the lack of time available for meetings and it is also an informal setting for building business relationships.

Employee lunch hours are now being used to conduct business but in a more relaxed fashion. The difference is that this meal is a business one and it may be the deciding factor in securing a signed contract. One needs to know what is required of them to leave a good impression on their associates.

Be equipped with the necessary skills and confidence to finesse the savvy business meal with professionalism.
