@SpeakerSue – I’m glad you liked, it and it’s always great to get a comment from an authority on the subject. If you’re willing to give the credit to the ‘after taste’ concept, and let me know when and where you’ve included that concept, please feel free to steal it .

I definitely start every meeting with an icebreaker, and end with the same, because that helps the process of breaking down the ‘it’s all business’ attitude, and let’s the other party know that you value them for more than the dollars they might pay you. I hope you subscribed, and comment again soon.

Great post! I especially like the concept of thinking about the “the after taste.” One other idea to enhance that after taste… host your meeting. Before you start, help people feel comfortable with you by walking around and introducing yourself to as many people as you can. Ask questions – they can really simple or more meaningful, and if you want, refer to their answers when you speak. Then,when you’re finished, leave your speaking stuff alone and walk people to the exit, like you would at home. Make yourself accessible, rather than busy closing down your computer, collecting your papers. It’s a great way to answer questions (to replace any bitter after taste) and for them to remember you in a more positive light. I’ve written a couple of books on this, most recently, How to Say It To Sell It (Prentice Hall; Jan 2008). May I steal “the after taste” concept if I give you full credit? I love it!

I’m prepping a pitch now – this is great motivation and reaffirms what we all already know. Appealing to your potential client’s emotions + heart are as important as appealing to their noggin’.
