Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Develop Friendships Prior to Meeting

While the title and concept may sound strange, with the benefit of social media, it is fairly easy to at least begin the process of developing a friendship before you actually meet with a prospective client.  The same may be said for hiring managers.

Step One

It’s a given to research websites in-depth prior to interviews and client meetings.  Those truly wanting to comprehend the business behind the meeting will do a complete online search by clicking on all the available links in order to read everything, compare notes and potentially compare competitors as well.  Websites usually list the executives or founding members of the company.  After reviewing their information on the site, you will be ready for the next step.

Step Two

Social Media conveys the communication style of the people you are about to meet.  Tweets showcase specific style of messaging, beliefs of the people behind the messages, and principles of the businesses involved.  Generally speaking, the profiles showcased on LinkedIn, focus on the highlights of the person’s career.  You get a sense of what the person is most proud as well as their best achievements.    The profiles is more personal than what will be found on a website.

Step Three

Review everything you discovered about the person or people you are about to meet and the business they represent.  Recognize career paths and ponder career goals as they relate to the current company.

Meeting with Friends

By the time you enter the office, familiarity with the people you are to meet is yours.  Once the pleasantries and small talk are completed, it is your turn to mention what caught your attention when doing the research.  And then proceed to asking what caught their attention to invite you in for a meeting.

The relaxed style will ground the meeting well and produce a lively dialogue.   As you delve deeper into the meeting, and lead with questions, recall the messaging you read.  Pose your questions so that they pertain to their way of thinking.  In areas in which you do not see a match, ask for clarification to get a better understanding.

Assume the Sale

While questions and answers should eliminate assumptions, by building the unique relationship, as described above, trust and confidence in you will be built.  This directly leads to the sale.  Positive thinking along with all of the research done ahead of time, go a long way for actually earning the sale.
