Do you give clients a warm welcome?
  v12.0 Posted at 7/04/2018 8:38 AM by Tiago Araujo

​​When a client arrives, your job is to make them feel comfortable and impress them with your professionalism. It is important that clients have a consistent experience in their contact with your company.

  • Leaving the client standing at the reception while finishing what you were doing
  • Offering them tea, coffee or biscuits (not everyone likes tea/coffee)
Figure: Bad example - This could start the meeting poorly
  • Be dressed appropriately
  • Greet them warmly
  • Have a firm handshake
  • Make eye contact and smile
  • Direct them to wait in the waiting area (so they can learn about the company through our tv screens)
  • Notify the project manager/developers who are included in the meeting
  • Ask someone to bring a couple of glasses of water into the meeting (as everyone drinks water) 
  • Join the meeting in the boardroom:
    - Show some enthusiasm when meeting with the client
    - Hand over, and collect, business cards - (organize in front of you, to help you remember their names)
    - Use their names a few times early on to help you remember their name
Figure: Good Example - You are starting off the meeting well​

​​​​​​You should do a role-play with your manager being the client. Then get feedback on how he/she found the experience.
