1) Engage your client in non-business related conversation starters, such as asking how they are. Do they have family? Favorite pets. Getting to know someone on a personal level shows you care.
2) Surprise them with a thoughtful gift or useful piece of information, such as a news article about their interests, that really pertains to them. Showing that you are willing to go to extra lengths to show appreciation is a sign of respect. Below are some unique gift ideas that make great conversation starters.
3) Ask questions about what their needs are. This might sound obvious, but if you walk in with a strategy to discuss a product or service you think they need, without asking them what they actually need, then you are not meeting their needs! Needs change quickly sometimes in the business world. Ask, pause, then listen in. People really want to share their issues with you, when you take the time to listen.
Bringing a small gift to your meeting opens up the opportunity for deepening your connection with your client or potential client through immediate, personal engagement. These are business appropriate, fun to give and fun to receive! Appreciation and acknowledgement are so important in business. Here are some great sales gift ideas for fall that are under $6!
