What Should You Do Before Your Meetings?

Being well prepared is very important in having a successful meeting. Meetings are also a major part of most careers, so it can be a big deal!

Every hour of every day, in offices around the world, people spend time sitting in business meetings. Good preparation is the key to building confidence for meeting clients.

Three basic and easy tricks to get yourself prepared for each day:

  1. This may seem elementary, but pack your bag for the next day every night before you go to bed. This way, there is no way you can forget anything important for the following day. You waste valuable time and energy if you have to go back to your house to grab something!
  2. Do your homework! Nothing is more embarrassing than going to a business meeting unprepared. Even just 10 minutes of researching can be the deal breaker when you risk losing potential clients or even your credibility.
  3. Make a list! Besides, there’s nothing more satisfying than checking something completed off a list!

Before the Meeting:

Before the meeting, get as full a picture as you can of the client and their business. They will then feel flattered if you know what the business does and if you can quote a few figures. This will give them confidence in you which will reflect back for your own confidence.Decide how you want to record your notes. If you aren’t comfortable relying on your pen and notepad, try using the voice recorder on your Smartphone. It’s always good to bring your laptop or pads to meetings. In case, you need to show your clients pictures or need to search online for some information at the spot.

After the Meeting:

Review the notes and add additional comments, or clarify what you didn’t understand right after the meeting. Do this while the information is fresh in your mind. Send an email to the person you just had the meeting with, so that everyone is on the same page and no misunderstanding. It’s a good reference for future records top.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

开会前你应该做什么？

做好充分的准备对于成功的会议非常重要。会议也是大多数职业的重要组成部分，所以它可能是一件大事！
每天每个小时，在世界各地的办公室里，人们都会花时间参加商务会议。良好的准备是建立与客户会面的信心的关键。
三个基本而简单的技巧，让自己为每一天做好准备：
这可能看起来很简单，但每天晚上睡觉前都要收拾好第二天的行李。这样，您就不会忘记第二天的任何重要事情。如果您必须返回家中拿东西，您将浪费宝贵的时间和精力！
做你的作业！没有什么比毫无准备地参加商务会议更令人尴尬的了。当您冒着失去潜在客户甚至失去信誉的风险时，即使只是 10 分钟的研究也可能成为交易破坏者。
做一个列表！此外，没有什么比检查列表中已完成的内容更令人满意的了！
会前：
在会议之前，尽可能全面地了解客户及其业务。如果您知道该业务是做什么的并且您是否可以引用一些数字，那么他们会感到受宠若惊。这将使他们对您充满信心，也反映您对自己的信心。决定您想如何记录笔记，如果您不习惯依赖笔和记事本，请尝试使用智能手机上的录音机。带上您的笔记本电脑或平板电脑参加会议总是好的。以防万一，您需要向客户展示图片或需要在现场在线搜索一些信息。
会后：
查看笔记并添加其他评论，或在会后立即解决您不理解的内容。在您脑海中还记得这些信息时执行此操作。向刚刚与您开会的人发送电子邮件，以便每个人都在同一页面上并且不会产生误解。这是未来记录顶部的一个很好的参考。
成功就是得到你想要的。幸福就是想要什么就得到什么。

肢体语言对企业家的力量

自我展示是企业家工作中最重要的一部分。获得强大存在感的关键之一是您如何通过肢体语言进行交流。想想强大的领导人，名人？奥巴马、贝克汉姆、奥普拉。
肢体语言就像世界上的任何其他语言一样……它由单词组成：肢体语言单词通过手势、姿势、面部表情、眼球运动来解释。
积极的肢体语言可以定义为这些非语言的动作和手势，它们表达了对其他人所说的话的兴趣、热情和积极反应。如何与身体交流很重要，因为研究表明 60% 到 90% 的交流是非语言的。肢体语言被认为是沟通中最重要的方面，因为它向我们发出真实感受的信号，人们在前四秒内就对他人下定决心。
以下是一些开放的肢体语言想法：
姿势：无论是坐着还是站着，都要保持放松的姿势。这将强化您对周围环境感到舒适的想法。
占用空间：你不必四肢伸展，但试着坐着或站着，双腿分开一点。这将向他人表明你对自己很放心。
双臂：交叉双臂是一种视觉线索，表明您对周围发生的事情感到厌烦。
手：用你的手说话是一种将手势融入谈话的简单方法，但要小心不要让它变成舞会。
握手：握手是最重要的非语言沟通线索之一，因为它可以为整个对话设定气氛。有力的握手会给你立竿见影的可信度，而微弱的握手会让你显得脆弱。
眼神接触：在与您交谈和与他们交谈时，请抬起头并注视与您交谈的人的眼睛。良好的眼神交流让其他人知道你对谈话感兴趣。
肯定的动作：你可以用简单的同意动作来表达同理心，比如点头或微笑。这些行动让人们知道你站在他们一边，你可以认同他们的困境。
检查时间：看着手表表明您不想呆在那里，并且您有更重要的事情要做。
看着地面：这告诉人们你很害羞或不感兴趣。
触摸你的脸：每个人都有一点痒，他们需要时不时地抓挠，但在与某人交谈时反复触摸你的脸表明你在撒谎。
假笑：人们知道你什么时候在假笑，所以不要费心去尝试。真正的微笑不仅仅来自您的嘴巴。它可以在你的整个脸上看到，包括你的眼睛。
轮到你了！
