Meeting in Public Places
If you are very tied into the business community in your area, you may find some difficulty having meetings in public places. In our community, there are a number of local cafes and restaurants that are perfect for business meetings.
The drawback is everyone thinks so. When choosing to meet at a public place, make sure of the following:
- It’s not an issue to be meeting with the person you are meeting with. If someone sees you, would that scuttle a deal, be a cause for gossip, or start unfounded rumors.
- Don’t talk about anything or anyone in a negative light if you don’t want it to get back to that person. It’s amazing who knows who and someone might overhear a snippet of a conversation and pass it on.
- Be prepared to see people who you know and greet them. It’s embarrassing to see someone out and not recognize him or her.
- Be pleasant with people you know who are not in your party, but don’t spend more than 30 seconds talking with them. Not only does it interrupt his or her conversation, but it is also rude to the person you are meeting with.
Meeting in a public place is a nice way to mix business with pleasure; however, make sure you follow these simple rules to stay out of trouble.
