5 things not to do at a business dinner

We invite customers to eat to talk business? We avoid putting his foot in it and try not to commit mistakes if we want the meeting to be fruitful.
1 Select a noisy restaurant
The purpose of this meeting is of course to talk with your guest and advance negotiations. If you choose a restaurant where loud music reign, it will be rather difficult to communicate. The choice of restaurant is very important, the atmosphere should be pleasant and customer-friendly; not going into too much clicking if your guest is the casual style, for example.

2 Failure to book
Nothing worse than hanging around in the lobby waiting to be seated. In addition, you will send a non-professional image. Show that you are in control and take care of booking. If you forget the primary detail, perhaps your customer will doubt your skills to complete a larger project.

3 Discuss exclusively business
The business lunch is lighter, does not directly attack your guest's assailant business issues. It might seem that you have no interest in him. According to the standard, the best time to discuss business is the dessert or coffee.

4 Choose the most expensive dish
Do not try to impress your guest by choosing dishes overpriced. Your client could infer misinformation: Do you know manage a budget? Along the same idea, do not select the least expensive dish, he might think you cheapskate.

5 Allow your guest to pay the bill
You invite, you pay. This is the norm in the business world. If you are polite, you even will mention quietly that information to the server when you arrive, to prevent it brings two bills.

Have you ever been in an awkward position during a business lunch?
