1. Reach the venue of the meeting well in advance. Whether it’s to be held in your own office or your client’s, make sure that you’re present there at least a quarter of an hour before the stipulated time. You can run over your presentation, check if all the equipment is in place and fully functional and be present in the boardroom when your business partner arrives.

2. Make sure that you have everything you need for your presentation in place. This would include your whole presentation with all the slides in the right order, all your paperwork, documents (if any) that the client would need to sign as well as all corporate financial figures that would be required.

3. Many a times a lot of people who go for client meetings invariably forget to carry their business cards with them or make the mistake of carrying just a few cards. Although this might not seem like a big deal, it really is. Your business card would be a physical reminder of you and your firm once the meeting is over.

4. Dress appropriately, perhaps a little better than how you would when you go to work. Remember that when you go for a meeting you’re representing your entire organization so you don’t want to come off looking shabby and underdressed. No matter what anyone says, clothes and outward appearances do matter.

5. Converse with your business partners either before or after the meeting. Many people prefer to do this a few minutes prior to the meeting as it helps them break the ice as well as makes them a little less nervous before the presentation. This is the best way to get your business partners to remember you the next time they’re interacting with your firm.
